Before the game I had a thought that Boise would be able to play with and probably beat TCU. Boise is a great program with a great coach who if given a month to prepare could beat nearly anyone and they’ve proven it time and time again. I live in the Mountain West and everyone around here wanted TCU to win to give the conference an undefeated 5-0 mark in bowl season. Instead the win did what the BCS intended. Boise st got a win that didn’t mean as much as if they beat Florida or Ohio St or Texas. Since they beat a mountain west school it didn’t give them as much power as it would have. If TCU won it would’ve been the same thing.

Do we fault Boise for going undefeated and no decent team willing to go into boise to play them? Oregon did and lost badly so why would other schools go in there and risk the national championship being over before it even started as it did with the Ducks. Boise can only play who is on their schedule and win what they can. TCU did the same. Both schools will now have to keep playing toughter teams on the road as fewer and fewer teams want to go to their fields to play them on their turf. It’s sad and that’s why we need something to change.
