Looks fair to me, and it is fair. The winner of the SEC championship will play for the national title anyways, as long as it keeps going like it is, and I feel that either Bama or Florida would beat Texas. Im not on the Boise State bandwagon though at all, and if I said that they deserved national title talk consideration would be ridiculous. To play a schedule like THAT, and be ranked number 4? Absolutely horrid that they are ranked that high. There are 15 or 20 teams in the country that could run the table with the schedule theyve played, and I wouldnt doubt that 6 or 8 in the SEC couldnt. Until they start playing REAL competition outside of their conference slate, I wont be sold on Boise. A 3-3 Oklahoma team with a backup QB beat the same Tulsa team they beat by the skin of their teeth 45-0! They beat Oregon, yes, but look at the cream puffs after that. And this team is ranked number 4?!?!? Do you realize that if Bama OR Florida loses, that this team would jump over them in the rankings? By beating Cal State Poly? All I can say is that I hope they run the table, and I really hope they get blown out BAD in their bowl game. I believe that TCU deserves more publicity than Boise, as theyve actually beaten some fairly solid teams outside of their conference games. I wouldnt have a problem with TCU being ranked high, but beating a struggling Oregon team and a bunch of nobodies shouldnt put a team this high. Can ANYBODY HONESTLY tell me that Cincy, Iowa, and TCU, all undefeated, all beaten FAR SUPERIOR competition, doesnt deserve to be higher than Boise?? If you tell the truth, youll agree with me, as much as you may not want to.

The good thing about BCS is that it helps take out some of the subjectivity. Since strnegth of schedule is a key component, I can't see a team like Boise making the jump. Boise will begin to fall in overall points as they play and probably win each week. Even though they may win out, their schedule gets progressively easier. They will lose points as a result their weak schedule. Teams like Bama, Florida and Texas will maintain a strong score/rating because of their schedule. Boise, TCU would not jump those three teams even if they have one loss. As for Cincy and Iowa, they have a chance because their opponents will all have decent records and rankings. Neither the Big Ten nor Big East are comparable to SEC or Big 12, but they will keep teams high enough in the rankings to get a chance. Oregon is a different story.

To me, there are three teams deserving of a National title game. It would be a travesty if two of them are not playing in January for a title.
