It is now being reported that Texas has Turned down the Pac 10’s invitation and it appears the remaining Big 12 members will remain together.  A TV deal is in the works that would pay the Longhorns $25 million annually .  Texas is the big fish here, not because of it’s school, or it’s winning tradition, but because it is one of the biggest draws in the nation.  Where things go is completely up to them, but this is an attractive deal because, unlike joining the Pac 10, this allows them to fulfill their goal of creating a Longhorn network, which would allow them to pile money on top of the 25$ mill already on the table.

This would also mean that the Big 10 will have 12 schools and the Big 12 will have 10 school, which makes complete sense.

The Boise State Broncos managed to go 14-0 this season, becoming only the second school in history, behind 2002 National Champion The Ohio State Buckeyes, to win 14 games in a season.

The Broncos beat an undefeated TCU team that pressed hard for a title shot alongside the Broncos all season long.

Boise State also defeated eventual Rose Bowl loser, Oregon, posing the question, did Boise State deserve a national title shot?

No.

While Boise State beat teams like Idaho, La Tech, Hawaii, and UC Davis…. teams like Texas and Alabama played teams like Oklahoma, Florida, Nebraska, and Georgia. Until Boise State either changes conferences, or plays a completely ridiculous out of conference schedule like Notre Dame, they will never jump an undefeated Texas or Alabama.

It’s nice to see them win a BCS Bowl game, but let’s stop wasting our time debating their ranking every time they destroy the WAC.

This guy gets it.
