Broncos Bucked from White House

Boise State- well, not so much the team, but some irritating representatives from that and surrounding states- is feeling snubbed. Not by the BCS this time, but the President of the United States himself.

This week, Alabama, as the reigning FBS #1 team (naturally, I can’t call them “champions” since this division technically doesn’t have one), got to visit the White House. Certain Bronco fans felt they should have been invited as well, since they are also undefeated. What they fail to disclose, is it’s a greater accomplishment to go undefeated in a BCS conference than a second tier one. You can cry to me all you want about the injustice of the system or what-have-you, but in the end, Boise State beat two ranked teams. Bama beat six ranked teams, four of which were in the Top Ten, and two of which were in the Top Two. End of story.

By the way, Ivan Maisel has a terrific write-up of the event. Even though Bama is not my primary team, it gave me chills. I cannot wait until the Marine Band plays Rocky Top and the leader of the free world calls out “Go Vols!”
