Agreed. I know that both of us have watched many 1-AA postseason games. Nevada played at that level until the mid-90s. I even recall the year that YSU came out here and beat NV on their way to winning the championship. NV missed a 29 yard FG on the final play that would have won it.

I'm also an OSU fan, but BSU is more deserving in every way this year of the BCS bid. I believe that the higher ranked team has to get the nod. They are 12-0. What else could they have done?
The real unfairness is financial. OSU now gets about $10 M, while BSU will get around one. This continues to keep the little guy down and the big conference teams on top.

The only other team who can argue that they deserve to go and isn't is Texas Tech, and that is only because the BCS has a rule against three teams from the same conference making it and there are two super teams in their league, one of which they defeated!
