Why pair up the undefeated geeks?

Boise and tcu should be playing the "big dogs" ala Boise State vs. OU back in' 06. That was a game to watch.

No one wants to tune in to see which snubbed mid major is beating the other snubbed bitter  mid major. This just sucks.

[Prince McJunkins]

Agreed. A tcu/Fla matchup would have been interesting.

I'll take Cincy vs. Flordia...but lets see tcu's defense take on Florida or 'Bama.

voters wont' allow it.

wait, voters. thats the old system, right? the bcs is a joke

I completely agree.  They want to be seen as being able to hang with more formidable opponents, so why not give them the chance?

Better to limit the number of games with sh*tty mid major teams as much as possible.  Why ruin two games with these losers when you don't have to?

If this system makes you mad, call your congressman.

The Fiesta Bowl actually selected the two teams, so the BCS isn't completely at fault here.

3.   If a bowl loses a host team to the NCG, then such bowl shall select a replacement team from among the automatic-qualifying teams and the at-large teams before any other selections are made. If two bowls lose host teams to the NCG, each bowl will get a replacement pick before any other selections are made. In such case, the bowl losing the No. 1 team gets the first replacement pick, and the bowl losing the No. 2 team gets the second replacement pick. If the Rose Bowl loses both the Big Ten and Pac-10 champions to the NCG, it will receive two replacement picks.

I believe the Fiesta Bowl passed on Iowa.
