While, the official BCS Championship Game took place in Glendale, Arizona on January 8th, the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona on January 1st gets my vote as the best BCS game of the bunch. And if I had a say, I would cast my vote for Boise State as the BCS Champion. The “formula” and the voters certainly won’t agree (they’ll harp on strength of schedule when no “big” school would play them this season…they did beat Hawaii though), but come on, these guys gave us an exciting game AND they went undefeated on the season, something that no other BCS team and match up can say. Sure, they *might* have gotten pounded by some of the higher ranked BCS teams, but you can’t base a Champion vote on what might have happened. And aren’t blowouts what they’d want to prevent? I’m seriously looking forward to the day when there is a College Football Playoff, though when they do that my guess is that they’ll probably limit the number of teams included, thus probably leaving a school like Boise State out of the mix.

Anyway, feel free to disagree with me as I head into college football hibernation until next fall. Hopefully my Boilers will get their act together next year.
