They're ALL Robber Barons.This is another incorrect assessment: none of those teams are ranked above Boise St. or TCU, I don't think any of them are in line for a BCS game this year, and definitely none of them are going to the title game over them. Utah had one victory against a ranked team, got drilled by TCU and beat soundly by Notre Dame; they've demonstrated they are not one of the two best teams in the country. This is a pretty bad chip-on-shoulder claim.

i did not. I only specified team names as examples for the general atmosphere of the game. Year in and year out, this subject comes up regardless of the names of the schools involved.
But the Big 6 conferences keep telling us that teams like Oklahoma are far superior to teams like Boise St, Utah, TCU, et al.
Boise St. lost...new conversation...

Year in and year out, this subject comes up regardless of the names of the schools involved.If that's the tack you want to take, then I'll point out that pretty much none of those schools have been placed into championship games in recent years, and Alabama as the most glaring example you mentioned went undefeated last year and won convincingly against a solid Texas team. Another puzzling addition is Oregon State, who has not been invited to ANY BCS bowl since 2001, and they won that game.

There simply is no match for Big Ten arrogance..... except perhaps SEC arrogance. We should scrap the whole BCS set up and just match the top teams in the BigTen and SEC for all the major bowl games from now on. No one else is worthy. I'm not sure why Oregon is even still up there. A one-loss Big Ten team is better than an undefeated PAC10 team any day of the week.
Just because they are not your Christian does not make them not Christian.
