  No, he's still a dumbass.

  I agree.
  
  Coming back to barely beat a low-teens-ranked team on the road is immensely better than losing to a low-teens-ranked team on the road in OT.
  
  I mean, I'm a huge Buckeye fan, but pretending that Marshall, Eastern Michigan, Indiana, Purdue, Minnesota and even my Ohio U. are all that much better than the teams Boise and TCU have played is humorous. All Gee did was prove that the BCS exists as a tool to put 6 conferences above every other program no matter what. Even when one of those conferences (Big East) currently is a joke, another's (ACC) best team got beat by Boise at a "neutral" site very close to its home and a third (PAC-10) is a top-heavy conference with less depth than TCU's conference.
  
  The BCS is a sham that results in a shitload of "who cares unless you have ties to a school" bowls. Until there's a playoff system that gives the top teams in the nation equal opportunities to win it all (you know, like other football divisions, college basketball, every other sport), Gee comes off like a bitch who doesn't want to acknowledge that it's actually possible that the landscape is changing and a team doesn't have to be in a power conference to be a power team.

  Yeah, but he's our little turd.

  He may be a smart man, but he still said some dumb shit.
• Hesston

  

  he would be alot smarter if he would be in favor of a D1 playoff system, little bow tie wearing smurf

  Gordon Gee is a smart man who just opened his mouth and inserted his foot. He seems generally ignorant of how things work in NCAA Football (seems, not is). I've never met him, but anyone who thinks he is a jerk is oblivious.
• Be Nice

  Go Gordon, go Gordon, go Gordon
  
  He didn't look like a fool after last nights game.
• jordo212000

  

  Agreed that if he (or the BCS conferences) do not feel that the TCUs of the world are deserving, then shoot let's get a playoff system going and we'll let the vaunted Big East & ACC knock them out.

  He was slightly vindicated when Boise lost last night, but it still doesn't make what he said right

  He was even more vindicated when TCU's AD said "anytime, anywhere" but left out the part, "just kidding, we already turned you down"

  Great post, sir.
  
  I would say that this game was not a sign of the fact Boise State doesn't belong with the top schools, just the fact they don't deserve to be in the title game. Good teams lose in upsets to other teams occasionally, and that's what happened last night. Look at Ohio State last year, they lost on the road to a meh Purdue team, and Ohio State won a bowl game and finished fifth. Saying just because they lose one game to a team makes them horrible is ludicrous. We, like Boise, do have weak teams on our schedule, and even a team that was supposed to be a marquee win (Miami) faded out. Plus, they lost to Virginia Tech (Boise win), whose loss to James Madison seems like a big fluke.
  
  The BCS is a horrible way to end the college football system, and it just makes the rich richer. Look at last year, they put TCU/Boise together in the same bowl because they were aware of the consequences that could ensue if both teams would have beaten big conference schools. It would have have at least semi-validated their existence in the BCS. We truly do not know how these teams would have matched up well to any of the big named schools. To truly know if they belong, we need a playoff to see if they can grind out three or four games in a row.

  Meechigan could beat anyone in the WAC minus NEVADA....so is he so far off?
