Alabama vs. Texas BCS Title Matchup
All I really want to ask though is anything really FAIR when it comes to the BCS?
And this folks is why College basketball is better than college football. The gap between Texas and TCU was too great. Throw in the fact that Texas played a much harder schedule than TCU and they’re spot in the championship game is well deserved.
