Gameday was in Utah for the #3 vs #5 teams in the country, however BCSPN errrrr ESPN is not showing this game and on my cable it is not shown at all. Nice way to hide these teams from the publics eye so we can give BCS bowls to those powerhouses from the Big East and the ACC.

I almost at my end of watching a sport which does not have a true champion, but a paper one instead.

ha ha, true that. The only reason I'm watching is because my Dish has some extra CBS channels. They powers to be don't want any MWC teams, especially 2 top 5 teams, shown in prime time.

Unfortunate weekend for me to come home from school. No digital cable at my parent's house = no CBSC.

ESPN would have it if they could, but the MWC deal is with CBS, thus it's on CBSCS.

I know Alabama/LSU is a great game, but CBS could show the #3/#5 ranked teams on the regular CBS channel at least instead of some other CBS channel that not everyone gets.

Gets into contract shit again, I believe. The SEC/CBS contract is HUGE and probably entitles them to CBS Network TV as opposed to CBSCS. CBS doesn't have a dog in the BCS fight, so I would think they just go for ratings and money (which is still the SEC, unfortunately).

Yeah, sucks for the MWC. TCU is laying it to Utah so far, up 14 - 0 in the 1st.

Andy Dalton on pace for about 800 passing yards. Not a bad 1st quarter.

Can we rename this thread the TCU/Utah game so people know what it's about? TCU dominating still in the 1st. 20 - 0.

That might be the game. Not sure TCU will give up over 20 points on D.

Utah isn't that good, and it is a joke that they are ranked #5 in the country.

You are right Utah certainly isn't "great" but the reason they are ranked there is because the 'the big boys' throw up down their shirt every time they get placed in the top 5. Utah had taken care of business to this point and thus that is the reason a team like Utah is able to sneak in

You really couldn't be more clueless, could you? How old are you, 12?
