BCS Countdown Show

Tonight on ESPN they are having the BCS Countdown Show. BCS stands for Bowl Championship Series.  For those of you who are not familiar with the BCS it is the governing body that decides who goes to the five BCS bowl games at the end of the season.  There are currently 35 different bowl games but the big games are the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl and the National Championship Game.  The BCS publishes rankings to determine what team is the best in the nation.  Teams move up and down these ranking throughout the year.  But there is a catch.  Not all teams, school or conferences are part of the BCS.  If you are a Tennessee Vol or a USC Trojan that is not a problem because they are part of a BCS conference.  To schools like Boise State and TCU this is a problem.  Those two teams are not part of the BCS.  The problem for the BCS is that these two schools are presently ranked #2 for Boise State and #4 for TCU.  Both schools are called BCS busters and the media is having a field day with this.  Boise State and TCU met up during last seasons Fiesta Bowl.  The game was electrify.  I was lucky enough to be one of the Boise State fans in the stands during that game.  The final score was 17-10 with the win going to Boise State.  This was the first time that two non-BCS teams played in a BCS bowl game.  It will be interesting to find who will come out on top this year.  Tonight we will find out where it all starts.  Please come back and see the outcome.
