IdaBlue: BCS = BS

First, it’s not a legitimate means of assessment because the Broncos can’t do anything about it. They’re in the conference they’re in, and have to play those opponents. Assessing the Broncos by looking at the other teams is a bit like judging my job performance, or setting my pay, by saying my co-workers are slugs. I can’t affect their performance. It’s also a bit of an ism (racism, ageism, sexism, etc). It’s discrimination based on something the Broncos did not choose and cannot do anything about. (Well, at one point they may have chosen to join the WAC, but it was a constrained choice. It’s not like they can just join the PAC 10 any time they want/ IdaBlue . More here .

Question: Does Boise State fans have a right to gripe that the BCS matched them against also-undefeated TCU in the Fiesta Bowl (a contest ESPN rates as the second best bowl game this year)?
