Based on the responses on yesterday’s blog, you obviously have a lot of questions/criticisms about the BCS and its selection process. You’re not going to like all of the information and answers I’m about to share with you but here, as a public service, are five burning questions and some (hopefully) candid answers about what I affectionately call “The Bowl Bidness.”

If only this were a commercial, then it would have its own tagline custom-fit like a wide receiver’s glove: “Bashing the BCS, so easy Notre Dame’s football team could do it.”

Longhorns followers are reeling after Texas fell just behind No. 2 Oklahoma in the BCS standings, which settled the three-way tie atop the Big 12 South and sent Oklahoma to the Big 12 title game.
The next dose of bad news for Texas? There is no guarantee that the Longhorns will be chosen to play in the BCS title game if Missouri upsets Oklahoma on Saturday, says Jerry Palm, an independent BCS analyst and the publisher of collegebcs.org.
