Not so sweet!

As I watched last nights Sugar Bowl I could not help but wonder why Boise State was not playing Arkansas in this BCS bowl.  I know the game last night was a competitive game, however I cannot believe that this was the best match up available. Some could make an argument for Michigan because their only losses were to a good Michigan State team and to Iowa. However you cannot make me believe that Virginia Tech was a good choice. They were just coming off another blow out loss to Clemson. They lost in two games to Clemson a combined total of 61-13. I understand that the football world does not want the SEC to dominate the BCS games/money and this is why Arkansas was not considered. Someone please explain how Boise State was not at this game? We like to blame it on their conference/schedule but I would like to point out that their only loss was to TCU 38-35. If we are going to keep them from playing a BCS bowl for all the excuses of schedule and level of competition then how do we justify their number five ranking in the polls?  While the BCS games thus far have supplied us with three close games (two decided in overtime).  I believe the BCS has supplied us even more reasons that the system is broken and needs some major adjusting.
