Little Sisters of the Poor?! I think not Mr. President of Hypocrisy!

Well Ohio State University president E. Gordon Gee is just a buffoon. He has no idea what he is talking about, nor does he look at his own football team's scehdule. Today, Gee said that the number 3 and 4 TCU and Boise State football teams do not play strong enough teams, also saying that the two teams play the "little sisters of the poor". Well Mr. Gee, have you checked your football team's schedule? OSU's strength of schedule(.504) is only slightly higher than TCU's strength of schedule(.493) and a little more than Boise State's(.462). If I remember, isn't Ohio State one of the teams that play teams like Minnesota(2-9), Indiana(4-7), Marshall(4-7), AND EASTERN MICHIGAN(2-9)?!!! Also, the 2 ranked teams they beat(Iowa, Miami) are both 7-4. Miami is currently unranked and Iowa is ranked 24th in the nation. The team that OSU did lose to, Wisconsin, is 10-1 and is ranked 7th in the nation.

The TCU Horned Frogs are much deserving of a chance to play in the BCS title game. I understand they don't play in a major conference, but you have to give respect. They started off the season beating a ranked team(Oregon State, no longer ranked), and pummeled good teams such as San Diego State(7-5), Air Force, and possibly one of the biggest whoopings between 2 top 5 teams, a 47-7 rout of Utah. They come in at 10-0, and possibly with the best defense in Division 1 football.





    The Boise State Broncos have been a powerhouse over the past 5 years. When was the last time they lost a game? Try the 2009 Poinsettia Bowl, 2 SEASONS AGO! Guess who it was against, TCU. Since that game, Boise went on a mission to prove that they're worth something. In January, Boise St. exerted revenge against TCU in a bowl game again. This time it was in a BCS bowl, none other than the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. If you recall, that was the same "bowl" that changed the history of non-major conference teams. Boise beat number 4 Oklahoma in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl in a 43-42 overtime thriller. RB Ian Johnson won the game on a 2 pt. conversion on a "statue of liberty" play. Back to present times, Boise is just as deserving as Oregon, Alabama, or TCU to play for the national title game. They started off the season, like TCU, beating a nationally ranked team in Virginia Tech. VT had been ranked 10th, lost 2 straight to open the season, and has won 9 straight since, and is now ranked 16th. Boise, also like TCU, beat Oregon State when they had been ranked. And just like TCU, Boise has a chance to put a hurting on another ranked team in 19th ranked, 10-1 Nevada, led by dual threat QB Colin Kaepernick. Should Boise win, let alone put a whoopin' on Nevada, I firmly believe that Boise should have the right to play for the BCS National Championship.

 I DON'T want to see a 3rd consecutive TCU vs Boise State bowl game, regardless of its implications. Even if it does happen again as a result of the BCS computers, which seem to be flawed to many, the NCAA can overrule the matchup, just like the instance in 2006 with Ohio State and Michigan. The final game of the regular season was between the two teams, and Ohio State won. However, at the BCS bowl show, the BCS Title game was announced as Ohio State vs Michigan, meaning that Michigan hadn't dropped any spots in the polls. As a result, the NCAA overruled and put Florida in the game, and put Michigan in the Rose Bowl. Both teams lost their respective games.

Tune in Saturday to see what happens. I'll be rooting for an Oregon vs Boise St. or Oregon vs TCU title game!
