Wait, what's the controversy?
If people are worried about Boise State being disrespected, shouldn't they be heralding the BCS system, which is keeping Boise St. in the top five despite the voters jumping them?
For one whole week, maybe even two or three they'll get it right. Then when they decide to USC or whoever will leapfrog them.
There is no way in this lifetime tiny BSU will be in a championship game. USC could have 4 losses and you can bet the BCS would have USC and the LA television market in the game over the entire state of Idaho.
There will never be a BYU type champion ever again as long as we have the BCS.
BSU could win every game by 75 points and they'd say they didn't deserve to be there because of the lack of quality competition. It doesn't matter what teams from non-BCS conferences do.
They're more shut out of the BCS than Bush from the Nobel "Peace" Prize competition despite removing a genocidal dictator. Well maybe not THAT shut out. They're as shut out as a strictly defensive or special teams player from the Heisman competition.
