Boise St Screwed

So Boise State is ending up in the Las Vegas Bowl, which is a relatively mediocre game. They will probably crush Utah, and have no financial motivation to care what game they go to this year (http://www.idahostatesman.com/2010/12/06/1444809/boise-state-to-play-utah-on-dec.html).

The argument comes down to Arkansas being given the bid over the Broncos. Wouldn't it be delicious to actually have Boise St vs Ohio St in a BCS Bowl, with Ohio State's President E. Gordon Gee's commentary about the superiority of BCS teams hanging in the air? This one could be hyped up like a boxing match. A classic Drago vs Rocky affair. I think the BCS missed out on a great opportunity to do justice and score awesome ratings.

It seems they were more interested in avoiding future contention if the game wasn't a blowout by the Buckeyes.
