TCU and Boise State got screwed.

It is like they got relegated to the JV Championship game.

Not saying that neither were deserving of a BCS bid...they were. Just that if I were a member of that team I would have rather got the chance to play one of the bigger named teams to prove that I was deserving.

The Fiesta Bowl is a lose-lose for both teams. Lose the game and you give ammunition that you were never deserving. Win the game and alot of people just say you were the better of the non-BCS teams and you still did not play anyone.

TCU played some good teams and had some decent wins. I don't think Texas deserves the spot in the NC though.

Agreed....I think TCU and Boise St are probably just as good as any of the other BCS teams.

Looks like the BCS did not want their little scheme being turned on its ear. If TCU and Boise St upset their BCS conf Champions, it is not good business.

So, what do the cock suckers do? They relegate them to a game where they can do no harm.

Shameless.

This is what I think. TCU is one of the best teams in the entire country.this bowl game is a win-win for the BCS

Problem is nobody wants to play those teams. I saw an article on ESPN on Boise State's offer to play anyone at their house and nobody took them up on their offer. If I can find the article, I'll post it. That's the main reason why TCU, Boise St., and Cincy can't play anybody, nobody wants to schedule them

So the BCS should put the in National Title Game out of sympathy?

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
