I'm not saying "hey Boise St proved themselves because they beat 1 team". I'm saying under this particular situation they did and I expressed that reasoning in the previous post. Oregon & USC throttled the shit out of Cal, but because Oregon did it first it vaulted them up. How can Oregon look at Boise St and say "we are better than you", they played, they LOSS.
If the conferences want to argue "well our conference is so tough so of course we're going to have 1 loss" then they should be the biggest supporters of a playoff. Don't stand pat and only argue against the BCS when its convenient for that school at that time. If you beat a top 5 team and win out there's no reason you shouldn't have some sort of shot at getting your chance.
It's not like Oregon is going on the road either and slaying giants. All their big wins are at home (like Boise Sts). USC didn't exactly look great at any point during this year, a loss to Washington, escaping ND/Oregon St and tOSU. I realize the talent Oregon is playing on a week to week basis is probably better but let's not fool ourselves into thinking this USC team was really a top 5 team |
Well like I said, you have to be stupid to even argue within the bounds of this system--but we do anyways and we all look dumb haha. It would be like sitting around just chatting, you can argue using logic, but we have to argue against each other using the rankings of voters, coaches, and computers to subjectively decide who gets to play. And we all have somewhat different criteria for that.
It would be like going into a court room as a lawyer and the judge saying you had to argue your case only using laws that were written by retarded 5 year olds. Thats the BCS system in a nutshell. But I will say, that in the BE you are usually seeing 2-3 top 25 teams a season within the conference. How many WAC teams are ranked that way?
Is it fair to Boise? No. Is it fair to everyone else? No. It sucks both ways, and we all know it.
