I'm dumbfounded that the ACC's getting two bids

Yep, the Big Ten probably didn't deserve two, but it's not like the choices were all that clear. Michigan was 10-2 afterall. But the entire system sucks. I hate the idea that there's such a financial component of the BCS and the decisions are based on factors that are entirely biased towards bigger conferences. It's set up to make the rich richer. The Big Ten will almost always get 2 teams, and sometimes not deservingly. It's not fair. If there is a silver lining in this year, it will be that it might be the biggest example yet of how screwed up the system is and it will have a broader affect then in the past. This could wind up pissing off just enough people, and the right people, that it could be a catalyst for change.
Ok, as long as the winner of that game agrees to play USC at the end.

Ouch.
So who should have gotten the at large bids this year?
The only good that will come out of this garbage -- and yes, this result IS garbage -- is that, apparently, T. Boone Pickens is going to start putting some of his billions to work to get the system changed at a higher level than the BCS and the NCAA.
As for the game? Count me as another die-hard college fan that has zero interest in this game.
The big 12 (-2) deserved 2 teams ... especially over the ACC. I'd be ok with the Big 10 getting 2, but I'm surprised Mich instead of Mich State. Stanford certainly deserves their spot.
K-State wouldn't travel to see their team in a BCS bowl?
I'd be all for Boise State getting another BCS berth. I also think Michigan State was the better team over Michigan. Actually, watching them in the Big Ten title game last night I was really impressed with them. They're a much better team than most gie them credit for.
