So my beloved Cornhuskers came within a hair’s breath of winning, but fell short. Such a shame. Now the BCS Fatlards can legitimately keep TCU out of the title game since they have 2 undefeated teams to put there from the SEC and Big 12. Such a shame. And they can shuttle TCU over to the Fiesta Bowl to play Boise State and tout it as the Battle of the Two Non-BCS Undefeateds. Well whoop-dee-freaking-doo, a rematch of last year’s Poinsettia Bowl.

How magically convenient that neither Florida, Oregon, Iowa, nor Cincinnati has to risk an embarrassing loss against that TCU team from one of those “weaker” conferences. Once again, we’ll never know how good TCU (or Boise State for that matter) was, whether they could’ve hung with a “powerhouse.” Such a shame. Did I say that yet, such a shame?

Meanwhile, for now I’m going to pin my far-fetched hopes to the U.S. Congress. If Rep. Barton’s bill can make it out of committee to the House floor, then it’ll have more momentum than any other legislative effort to date. Here’s a brief article from the Wall Street Journal regarding the bill and where things currently stand.

And here’s another fantastic piece from Dan Wetzel, a great article hating on all the BCS stupidity, as well as another look at his playoff plan. Dan mentions a book of his that will be published next year: “an investigative book on the BCS that will come out next season. That book will, in clear detail, lay the system bare – the finances, mathematics, biases, waste, contracts, scams, etc.” Can’t wait, Dan!
