"6. Whining about the Mountain West not being in the BCS

This has nothing to do with TCU losing to Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. The Mountain West had a nice bowl season with BYU, Utah, Wyoming and Air Force looking great, and even with the dud of a showing against the Broncos, the Horned Frogs absolutely deserved to be in the BCS. But still, Mountain West backers are chirping about the idea of wanting an automatic inclusion into the BCS without realizing that the league already is, basically, the seventh BCS conference.

With 10 spots available, and with the rules in place to all but assure that a non-BCS team gets in each and every season, the Mountain West’s biggest competition is Boise State year in and year out for a spot in the BCS. Man up, Mountain West top teams, and put the Broncos on the schedule and take care of business yourself. They’ll come to your house. Make them an offer. Wyoming, beat Boise on Sept. 18 in Laramie and the Mountain West champion will almost certainly be in the BCS."

Except we get have to split the BCS revenue with 4 other conferences, plus we get half the pay out if we do make the BCS.... Idiot

Plus if the MWC champ loses one game, they may not be guaranteed to get in.. because they could not be in the top 12.

We played Boise this year? Last time we did was like 2004, and we lost by 7.

Well said! Going undefeated in conference in the Mtn West is not easy with the top three being so good. Even after that the only way for a Mtn. West school to get to a BcS game is to play a difficult out of conference schedule. Compare that to Florida and Texas who each play garbage teams out of conference to get to the BcS.

He is talking about 2010 when we play Boise State. he is telling us, "beat Boise, etc"

Why is it fair that the Mtn West champion needs to go undefeated and even have other teams lose (such as Boise State) to get a bid? While the champions of the "Big 6" conferences get in automatically no matter how many games they lose and no matter who else win's or loses from other conferences?
