NCAA re-classification?

The Boise State Broncos won an 43-42 OT thriller over the Oklahoma Sooners last night in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Boise State did the same thing they've been doing for several years now in football games. They blocked, they tackled, they moved the sticks, they won the game.

The pre-game hype of "David" (BSU) vs. "Goliath" (OU) was always just hype. The notion that the non BCS conference team (BSU) wouldn't be able to "hang" with the BCS conference team (OU) was disproved. Again.

The BSU victory invokes cries of "We deserve a chance for a National Championship" from the BSU faithful. Alas, it is not to be.

For the distinction of being classified a "BCS" or "non BCS" conference has nothing to do with quality of football play and everything to do with the number of television sets in a conference' regional viewing area.

There simply are not enough television sets in Idaho for the Boise State Broncos to have done anything other than "catch lightning in a bottle".
