Hate the matchup, I wanted to see them play teams from the BCS conferences so that we could see how good they are and if they should have gotten national title consideration. This game answers no questions, I personally thought that TCU was the best team that I saw all year (offense, defense, special teams) although they were hard to judge because they didn't play any good teams (unless you call Clemson a good team, I don't) It almost looks like a conspiracy by the BCS to keep them out of any meaningful game.
What don't you understand? "This game answers no questions." There are no questions to be answered! So what if TCU played Florida in the Sugar Bowl and beat them, are they going to get an extra game afterwards, no. We saw that shit last year with Utah and Alabama, and it didn't matter, because Utah won that game, got nothing other than a W out of it, and the critics said they won because Bama was demoralized after losing to Fla in the SEC Champ game. What questions do you want answered exactly? Some of you guys want the BCS to be a conspiracy year after year. You act as though you want a solution, but then, instead of wanting to see a game between two football teams that want to win their BCS game more than anyone other than the two playing for the Nat'l Championship, you get all pissed off because "this game answers no questions." TCU for the most part played an OK schedule. You don't think Clemson is a good team, but they were ranked 15th at the time TCU traveled there and won. Clemson just doesn't know how to finish football games, they are the Notre Dame of the ACC. 4 of 5 losses were by a touchdown or less. Utah ranked, BYU ranked. Cincinnati can't give up 35+ points in three games down the stretch and expect to make it. I'm pissed as hell that they passed up TCU in the final BCS rankings.
The thing these teams need to do if they ever want a shot at legitimacy is to realign their conferences. If Boise St joined the MWC, they would have at worst four quality programs year in and out. Get SMU to join, a team that June Jones is going to improve just as he did Hawaii, and now you have a decent conference.
Fact of the matter is that nothing really matters now. If TCU beating Boise State doesn't show you that maybe they deserved to be playing for the title, then nothing will. The season ends after the Nat'l Champ game regardless of who TCU would have won or lost to, so it really does not matter if they were picked (which the Bowl host picks the teams they want anyways, so the Fiesta Bowl committee picked TCU BSU) to play Fla, Cincy, Ga Tech, or BSU, who cares?
