<blockquote><p>&#8230; I&#8217;ve become a playoff guy over the past decade or so but even BCS  proponents in the blogosphere (of which there appears to be one, the guy  behind Get The Picture) have to wince at <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/forum/2010-12-09-column09_ST2_N.htm">statements like this</a>:</p>
<p style="padding-left:30px;">College football was one weekend away from Boise State  participating in the BCS National Championship Game because of what  happened on the playing field — not in a chatroom, a boardroom or a  newsroom.</p>

<p>For the record, I, &#8220;the guy&#8221;, didn&#8217;t wince at Hancock&#8217;s lame attempt at a defense.  I laughed.  But why I am getting dragged in as Exhibit &#8220;A&#8221; to Brian&#8217;s smack down in the first place? <em> I&#8217;m not pro-BCS.  I&#8217;m <a href="https://blutarsky.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/the-bcs-gets-what-it-pays-for/" target="_blank">anti-extended playoff</a>.</em> Those are different positions, right?  Or did I miss a meeting?</p>
