1. In the wake of the Sugar Bowl’s decision to overlook No. 7 Boise State and No. 8 Kansas State, one suggestion being discussed for the next BCS contract is to obligate the BCS bowls to take the highest-ranked available team rather than have the ability to choose an at-large team. The bowls surely will balk, and may cry antitrust. But no one is forcing them to be in the BCS. Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott wouldn’t address that idea specifically but said, "There are things we all see that could be better."
2. A plus-one will be discussed at the BCS meetings next spring but it will take a unanimous vote of the six AQ conferences to implement it before the current contract with ESPN expires in two years. Even if they get that, there’s a bigger problem. The Cotton Bowl, the leading candidate for the fifth site, is on Fox for the next two years; the BCS is on ESPN.

2/3rds of Maisel's 3pt stance. I hope the Cotton Bowl throws a wrench into things in a good way. Perhaps a plus one is adopted, and Fox gets more control over the coverage in 2015.

Dear BCS:
Now that you let VT have 6 cracks at it with a record of 1-5 how about you give KSU a chance? We have been passed over five times since your inception and only allowed in by winning the auto AQ by beating the “best college football team in history”. Time to get you head out of your back sides and get this thing right. Wonder what K-State’s record would have been after six BCS appearances?

they'd be 3-3
Snyder’s good at winning one year, losing the next. He’s only won back to back once, and only lost “back to back” once. The latter is 2004 Fiesta Bowl and 2010 Pinstripe. Snyder’s a .500 bowl performer. Which is why I anticipate the trend to be bucked, and we’ll be on winning side Friday night.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Michigan
Had no more right to be there than VaTech. Seems like everyone keeps overlooking that. Both teams being in a BCS bowl shows the BCS to be a joke.
Everyone is overlooking Michigan because they are Michigan
Just like everyone knows Texas will get picked first, the same is true of Michigan. Va Tech wasn’t any worse by the merits of the team on the field, but was by far a much bigger shock that they got chosen which is why everyone focuses on them.
Only now do I buy the crap about the lack of staff and familiarity a little bit
Since the Saints hosted a playoff game on Saturday. I feel bad for the maintenance crew/grounds people…come to think of it they probably have little to do with the Bowl Staff. But I can see where having anything that helps things go smoother in the light of 3 major events in 7 days being an advantage.

Not related to anything but KSU
Totally hijacking this thread (for a line or two) to tell you all I’ve switched URLs. Bye bye kitchenkc.com. Hello curtiskitchen.com!
Make sure to update any old bookmarks or links you may or may not have. It is redirecting for now, but won’t forever. …now, back to lamenting the fact that Michigan gets to call itself a BCS game winner, or that Va. Tech even gets to show off its participation ribbon…
Might want to duplicate your Hijacking hyjinx in the slate.

When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.

The fine I will charge you for hijacking my thread:
To be a guest interview somewhere down the road if I get my ducks in a row in 2012…
Though the reality is, I never get to where I want so you’re likely off the hook.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Just a bit of constructive criticism...
CK that red is a bit overpowering and takes the focus away from the content. Just a thought from a fellow blogger.
