innocentbystander {l Wrote}:How likely would it be that 2009 would be the kind of shitstorm that would end this BCS bullshit once and for all
1981Eagle {l Wrote}:If those 4 teams go undefeated and all 4 are not invited to the NC game then the BCS will blow up and it will prove my point that even BCS conf. teams like Cincy and Iowa can't get a fair shake because they are not part of the 15-20 team BCS cabal of teams that are "expected" and therefore "are" invited to the NC game. Not part of the cabal means a high probablity of no invite to the NC even if you run the table. It will be a good proxy for what might have happened to us 3 years ago.

So Boise is probably pretty pissed right now. We all know that Iowa is pissed with "human beings" given the computers algorythms love them so much. Cincinnati, (a team that no one is giving respect other than Trevor M on ESPN) is fucking bullshit right now. And TCU has 4 big wins on their record (and that is more than what Florida or Alabama can say.) We all want the shitstorm. How likely would it be that 2009 would be the kind of shitstorm that would end this BCS bullshit once and for all (given how quiet things were after the 2004 semi-shitstorm?)
Personally, I think the BCS is too powerful. Even if all these teams run the table and they are denied any chance at the NC, I don't think anything will change. And if this does happen and nothing changes, then (perhaps) nothing ever will change.

innocentbystander {l Wrote}:I think this is just real BAD LUCK for Iowa and Cincinnati. They just happened to pick a year to be awesome the same year a bunch of other teams just happened to be awesome. That wasn't the case for BC in 2007. But it sure as shit was the case for Auburn in 2004.

Sure Kelly or Ferentz might bellyache a bit, but the more detached admins realize that in the grand scheme of things the BCS is a benefit to them.
innocentbystander {l Wrote}:If history tells us anything, I expect at least 2 of those teams to lose a game.
I would agree with "history" if this was mid to late October.
It is now November. I mean Iowa has a toughie @ Ohio State but that is it. Texas has aleady beaten everyone. Any team Texas plays in the Big XII Championship would be a team they already beat. Florida and Alabama will only lose to each other. There is no one left on TCU's or Boise's schedule that could beat either team. And Cincinnati may have a couple tough games left, but I think the real meat of their schedule is well behind them.
It is November. All seven teams are now 8-0 or 9-0, not 6-0.

They are a good team, but it is a fraudulent comparison to compare them to FLA, TX or even Boise St.

That's retarded- anyone with half a brain knows a late season loss hurts more in the polls than an early season one.
You really think the Big East office expected Cincinnati to be undefeated by now?
