Last night in the Sugar Bowl was exactly what I feared and showed how devious the BCS is. I did pick Florida to win, but not blow out Cincinnati. The BCS and its supporters will use that game as an argument against a playoff, saying the small conferences just don't belong. Although this doesn't seem to be a problem in basketball.
Apparently Marshall making the final 4 scared the hell out of the BCS, not to mention recent bowl successes of small conference teams. Why else would they match TCU with Boise St. Imagine the horror of 2 small conference teams beating their BCS conference opponents.
In my mind TCU would have been a lock to beat all BCS bowl teams not named Texas, Alabama or Florida. I also don't think those 3 would have been a lock to beat TCU. I think TCU, at the least, is in they game against them until the final gun.
I wouldn't make Boise St a lock against any other BCS bowl team, but I wouldn't dismiss them either.
