well, let's see. the BCS is about two things, and only two things.
#1 vs #2 and making money for the 6 major conferences.
What did the BCS do this year? #1 and #2 are playing, and the 6 conferences are getting money.
Talk all you want about FSU being 9-4, but the fact is they won the pathetic ACC. The ACC is a member school of the BCS so they get to go. If Notre Dame wants to play in the BCS, they need to go ahead and join the Big East in football (they are a member school in just about every other sport) totally instead of snaking West Virginia's Gator Bowl bid.
That "lovely FSU team" is also the only team that has come close to beating Miami this year, all of a missed field goal close.
So Rip, you're telling me that San Jose State, Wyoming and Idaho are good teams? or Nevada, Idaho and Montana State (lol! not even Div 1A!) are tough schedule opponents? I tell you, the BCS really agrees with you that FSU has an easy schedule! I mean all those teams like USC, Michigan and... oh wait, that's all that have higher ranked schedules than FSU according to straight wins and losses.
