Mack Brown, the BCS and Boise State walk into a bar…
Stop me if you’ve heard that one before. More dissension in the BCS, this time from Texas Coach Mack Brown. In his weekly press conference Mack dropped the following:
“…I still don’t like the way it’s set up because I don’t think we should have non-BCS schools, I think it’s demeaning to those schools that are playing really well.”
Not to take his quote unfairly out of context, here’s the video clip from that conference:
I interpret his comments to mean non-BCS schools don’t belong in the BCS championship game, a sentiment I agree with. I have no problem with non-BCS schools taking two at-large spots, particularly in a year like this, but promoting the notion of keeping them out of the championship game encourages dischord which is the only way a playoff is ever going to happen.
The frequent argument by non-BCS supporters is that Boise State or TCU or Utah would perform just as well or nearly as well in BCS conferences as the front-runners. I like to flip that argument around. What is a far greater certainty is that Alabama or Florida or Texas would go undefeated against Boise State’s schedule.
Ask yourself how Alabama, Florida or Texas would do against the following teams (and assume your home turf is the same color as your home jerseys):
7-2 Oregon
1-9 Miami University
@ 6-3 Fresno State
@ 4-5 Bowling Green
5-4 UC Davis
@ 4-5 Tulsa
@ 3-6 Hawaii
1-7 San Jose State
@ 3-6 Louisiana Tech
It’s a very silly discussion when you put it in that frame of reference. Is Boise State good? Sure. Is TCU good? Sure are. Very good. To leave our college football’s championship game to the nuances of computers and poll weightings is just stupid, and the BCS powers deserve any dissent that comes their way. Thanks Mack for representin’.
You’re welcome.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
