Edited to add: For all you conspiracy theorists who think the Big 12 officials cooked this up to put Texas in the title game, think about this: If Nebraska wins, they get a BCS game and the league get to split up the $17 million AND Texas would still have gone to a BCS game as an at-large bid (probably ousting Boise St.). The league would have received an additional $4.5 million. The Texas win cost the Big 12 $4.5 million.

Well the BCS fat cats will make it up to the Big 12

. And I did think it was the correct call but boy I wanted the BCS screwed up. Can you tell my dislike for the BCS

. We need a playoff system and then I will watch religiously.

From what little I know of the system, and the way bowls and championships are picked, it totally sucks.... I think the first overhaul will have to be 2012 or 2013....

The whole system is a joke. The BCS totally copped out by putting Boise vs. TCU. It is like they are saying "you can have your little game while the adults play ours!"

Also a joke that should Texas have lost that game that Cincinnati jumped ahead of TCU so they wouldn't have let TCU play in the NC game either way.
