As I watched CSU pummel hapless BYU (3-5) last night, I chuckled to myself when an announcer mentioned that BYU just needed to go 3-1 the rest of the way to qualify for a MWC bowl bid. It got me thinking how ludicrious this 6-6 teams qualify rule is this year......I mean, when you are 3-5 you are having a real lousy year! :crying:
If they BCS "club" hadn't changed the rules on bowl eligibility, I suspect almost every MAC team with a winning record would've gone bowling this year, which of course is precisely what the "money moguls" wanted to prevent. Now we get to see IU and MSU "duke" it out to see who can eke out a miserable 6-6 record to get into a bowl.
It's pathetic, really it is. :(
