Oregon and Auburn still have pretty big games left. I just hope TCU doesn't get to the NC game. Talk about a cupcake schedule...

Im pretty sure South Carolina's not too happy about that loss to Auburn during the season. Which means this is gonna be a good Conference Championship. I say South Carolina wins 35-32. If that does happen it would be interesting to see who plays Oregon in the National Championship. I'm hoping LSU wins today because if Auburn loses in the SEC Championship hopefully they'd put LSU over TCU. I don't want to see TCU in the NC.

what's wrong with seeing TCU in the title game? It could be good for college football, look at college basketball. Butler made it all the way to the championship game against Duke and almost pulled off an upset. Alot of ppl don't want to see an outsider play in the big game but I do. I was banking on my Broncos to win last nite so we could be #3 in the BCS and then possibly #2 but we all saw what happened vs Nevada (kicker choked twice, defense gave up yards).

What's wrong with TCU? Who have they beaten? Oregon State, Baylor, Utah? Give me a break... The game should include Auburn, unless they get blown out by SC. I'd rather see Oregon, Ohio St., Wisconsin, Stanford, even Arkansas or South Carolina. TCU would have at least three losses in the SEC.

So what if they aren't in the SEC or Pac-10. All that matters to me and others like myself is the fact that they win games, plain and simple. The majority of people like yourself hate the fact that the TCU's and Boise State's of america could potentially play for a national championship. People think it would be a slap in the face to the powerhouses but it could be a true test for them. Remember when Boise State upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl? Critics had their doubts that night just like how they have doubts about TCU.

Their defense should have never given up the lead. Boise State is a good team but they were not able to be great this year. I wish Illinois (I am an Alumni) has their roster!!

TCU Strength of Schedule 48. Oregon Strength of Schedule 87. Who had the cupcake schedule?
PAC-10 is waay overrated especially when USC is having a down year.

The fear of change from the status quo is truly hilarious. Haters of TCU and Boise keep grabbing at any string they can find that fits their argument. The fact is that they are all in FBS and they ALL deserve a fair shot. If you aren't going to give Boise, TCU, Utah a fair shot, then give them their own division and own championship game to play for.

George Mason had no business being in the final four a few years back in basketball, but that doesn't happen in college football because of the flawed system.

It doesn't matter what you would rather see in a championship game. You who don't like Boise and TCU are biased, just as is the current system. There should be nothing but wins/losses that determine the champion.

FBS is the only level of sports in the entire world (that I'm aware of) that allows for more than one team to be undefeated at the end of the year. Unsettling.

And don't even say Boise doesn't deserve the hype because of this loss. A missed 26 yard field goal by one human being does not make them illegitimate.

Who wants to see a team like Auburn in the championship game when they could potentially be down 24-0 in one half. That, scares me. I don't want to see that garbage defense in the national championship game.

Oregon will beat them 70-14. TCU has a better shot at the Ducks.

I don't have a problem with change but you can't compare what happens in college basketball to college football. Until there is a playoff then you have to use the other info and TCU and Boise don't play the same level of teams other teams do. You can't just make a blanket statement about winning all you games in the regular season sould give you a shot. Look at TCU's schedule. They only played one ranked team. Most of their schedule is a joke. Utah didn't even beat a ranked team at all. I am not saying all the teams in the BCS conferances are better than TCU. TCU might be that good. I would just like to have a team like that prove it against top compitition week in and week out. Teams that play in the SEC can rest their starter in the forth everyweek. They have to deal with more injuries and have to have dept. When you have to show up every week it makes a difference. Look at what happen to Boise. That was only the 2 team they had to face like that all year. They couldn't even win that. And to that last guy that says Oregon would beat Auburn 70 to 14. Are you really that dumb!!? As if Oregon's d is the 85 bears. When is the last time the SEC sent a team to the BCS NC game and that team got blown out? Oh yea never!

I ment to say can't rest their starters. Sorry for all the typo's.

charter04 clearly missed the post by brza37. If you're going to bring schedule into it, then look at Strength Of Schedule. TCU has a tougher schedule than Oregon. Does that mean we should discredit every win Oregon has because their SoS sucks? No.

Look at last year. Kentucky, which barely wins 5-6 games a year had a tougher schedule than Ohio State, which wins 10+ games a year. Is that fair? No. Are you going to discredit Ohio State because a weaker team plays a tougher schedule? No. You clearly have a double standard.

Like others have said, if you aren't going to give an undefeated Non-AQ a chance at the National Title, why even put them in the BCS standings? Why not drop them to D-1? Might as well put every team from a non-power conference into D-1 or their own little league to play for a national title.

@charter04 ... There was a little sarcasm in the 70-14 prediction. The real score will likely be 63 - 42 in Oregon's favor. But I'm not into making predictions at this point. What bothers me is your string you keep hanging from, along with others, that TCU or Boise or anyone in a non-AQ conference doesn't DESERVE to play in the national championship game because of their schedule.

That is the very definition of anti-trust and on par with the same issues of a lawsuit brought against the BCS. According to your logic, at the beginning of the season we can already rule out those who qualify for a national championship. That is politics, not sports. Opinions should not matter when deciding a champion. You are free to think, along with all the desk jockeys out there, that TCU or any other top notch non-AQ school doesn't "deserve" a shot based on their schedule (or any other argument that aligns with your argument), but why are human beings and computers deciding who the champion can be!?

How stubborn are people? No other sport in the entire WORLD does this. FBS college football is the only thing in the entire world that doesn't settle the score on the field of play. We let people's opinions and computer formulas control the potential outcome.

Who cares what you or I think? Just let them play!

Bring on a d@mn playoff!

I agree. I found it funny when Ohio State's president tried to say Boise or TCU don't belong however Ohio State's strength of schedule wasn't any better than both of these teams.

Boise and TCU can play with anyone in the country. Unfortunately, the front of their jerseys don't read Alabama or Florida because the players are good enough to win.

You put Boise or TCU in the ACC or the Big East, they run away with it and they would then automatically qualify for a BCS game. The Big East is horrible and the ACC is as overrated as the Pac-10...

I've got this to say: neither TCU nor Boise State deserve to play in the BCS Championship game. Not because I don't think they are good enough. That's debatable and pretty much irrelevant. But the BCS Championship is meant for BCS schools (Automatic Qualifiers). They're not part of the consortium, so by default they shouldn't be there.

@Nolan273 ... The BCS isn't "meant" for BCS schools. There is no such thing as a BCS "school" or "conference". That is a concept that pop-culture has brianwashed many to believe. The BCS has stipulations that are strictly made for schools who play in non-auto qualifier conferences where these schools are allowed to play in a BCS bowl. The BCS is acknowledging these teams, so it's pretty obvious is "meant" for every school, however; it doesn't treat every school with equity.
