Last night in the Fiesta Bowl Boise State University shocked powerhouse Oklahoma and proved once and for all why there should be a playoff system in Division 1A football.
In a wild finish which proved to be one of the best games I have seen in a long time number 9 David knocked off number 7 Goliath. OU kept giving Boise State more rocks to throw with four turnovers however the big dog was still in the fight until the end of overtime.
Boise decided to go for the two point conversion for the victory or the loss in OT. Their D was just spent and worn out from an outstanding performance on the field. They really gave their everything.
To be fair though OU really was in a no win situation. If they beat Boise, well they were supposed to and if they lost well they lost to a nobody who was easy to overlook.
Now then you will have a 13-0 team, a unbeaten and untied team who might not be crowned Champion. It is possible that they could be the only unbeaten team in all of Division 1A college football and STILL not be the Champs.
If Ohio State loses to Florida then every team will have a loss EXCEPT Boise State!!!!
You can bet that the BCS hated to see Boise win. They wanted to see OU run up the score on the tiny school and prove once and for all that the BCS is the best way to do things. What happened though was the best argument for why they play the games and why the championship needs to be settled on the field instead of in the polls in an antique bowl system that has long outlived its purpose.
This is as close to a BCS meltdown as could be hoped for!!!!
