Hello,
OSU President E. Gordon Gee on BSU and TCU going to a BCS Bowl: "I do know, having been both a Southeastern Conference president and a Big Ten president, that it's like murderer's row every week for these schools. We do not play the Little Sisters of the Poor. We play very fine schools on any given day." (Thanks to espn.com) I love how the BCS apologists are circling the wagons. That's what people tend to do when they are battling for something that's greedy and illogical.
I'm so tired of these BCS assholes whining about how tough of a schedule they play. They play a tough Big 10 schedule? Really? The teams that Ohio State plays this year have an overall record of 68-64. Then the BCS idiots will say they only mean the games they play in the Big-10 conference. Ohio State's Big 10 opponents are a combined 47-41.
I love how he says they don't play the "Little Sisters of the Poor". What do you call Marshall who is 4-7? How about 2-9 Eastern Michigan? How about 4-7 Purdue, 4-7 Indiana and 2-9 Minnesota. The last 3 teams are part of that Big 10 "murderer's row". If Boise State doesn't make it to the BCS National Championship game, there's a good chance they would play OSU in the Rose Bowl. Boise State, led by their awesome defense would destroy, Ohio State. Ohio State why don't you set up a home and home series with Boise State? BCS schools don't usually do that because they like to play as many games as they can at home. It gives them more money and a competitive advantage in those games. Boise State on the other hand will play anyone, anywhere at anytime. Oh yeah and they win those games.
I will agree with Gee that the Big 10 is a better conference than the WAC. But other than Wisconsin and Ohio State, there's only one other outstanding team in the Big 10. Michigan State is pretty good but Ohio State doesn't play them this season. Gee that's convenient. Apparently they were too busy playing such "Little Sisters of The Poor" like 4-7 Marshall, 2-9 Eastern Michigan, 2-9 Minnesota, 4-7 Indiana and 4-7 Purdue. Oh Gee, I'm sorry those last 3 teams are part of the Big 10's "murderers row".
The Big-10 is better than the WAC, there's no question about that. Boise State knows that also that's why they are improving the conference they play in and also their non-conference schedule. They played against two BCS teams this year, beating both. They beat Va Tech, who is now 9-2, and the class of the ACC. They also beat Oregon State who is now 5-5. That's the problem with scheduling BCS teams years in advance you never know how good they are going to be. BYU crushed Oregon State in their bowl game last year. It's too bad those alleged BCS teams can be so mediocre.
All teams that BSU played this year have a total record of 64-66, slightly worse than OSU opponents. In WAC play, Boise State's opponents record is 40-46.
The other thing about BSU is they just win no matter where they play. They are 2-0 in BCS games, including one of the most exciting college football games of all-time. That's when they beat Oklahoma. Ohio State is 5-3 in BCS games. OSU wasn't really helped by playing their "murderer's row" schedule before they played in the BCS National Championship. In the 2007 BCS National Championship Game Florida dismantled OSU 41-14. Are we sure there wasn't a better team to play Florida that year than the Suckeyes? I thought that the BCS was set up for the two best teams to play in the National Championship Game. Then in 2008 OSU lost again in the BCS National Championship Game, this time to LSU 38-24.
Now I know I'm skewing facts to fit into my argument, but that's a trick the BCS has been doing since creating their unholy alliance.
More Gee idiocy: "Gee, long an admirer of the BC$ and the current bowl system, said he was against a playoff in the Football Bowl Subdivision."
"If you put a gun to my head and said, 'What are you going to do about a playoff system [if] the BCS system as it now exists goes away?' I would vote immediately to go back to the bowl system," he said. (This and above paragraph from espn.com)
I love how espn.com calls Gee "long an admirer of the BC$". Of course he is, it's making him and his school a lot of money. I'm sure he receives some kind of significant bonus for his school being in the BCS. Gee talks about how the BC$ is better for the student-athlete. What a lie! We all know the real reason for the BC$, it's all about money and greed. The only people the BC$ cares about is themselves. Of course he's against a playoff system, as he thinks that will be less profitable for him. He doesn't care about it not being an equitable situation for all schools. Isn't fairness and equality something one is suppose to learn in college. What good does it do for them for a so-called mid-major team to win the national championship? None! That's why there's no hurry to change the system.
It always makes me laugh how the BC$ is set up to protect the biggest schools in the nation. Do these big schools really need that protection? Of course they don't, they do it because they can get away with it. They also do so they get the majority of the money. Don't even start me on the fact that the Big East gets a BC$ Bowl, they might not even have a Top 25 team in that bowl game. Gee that doesn't help your idiotic argument Gee.
