A: We need to have an automatic berth. I don’t think that’s asking too much, to be honest. Or even if we have a playoff between the two highest-ranked teams to see who will earn a spot (in a BCS bowl). Of the teams that played in BCS bowls last year, Utah was as good or better than any of those teams. And we came within 55 seconds of beating Utah at their place.

Greg Archuleta, Albuquerque Journal: New Mexico is starting to make their mark by starting to recruit in Florida.   Two key players were in town to visit the campus  they are Calvin Smith and Corey Lemonier who are both top 100 recruits according to Rivals.  Coach Locksley is looking to change the way recruiting is done at the University of New Mexico:
“UNM is chasing the proverbial “blue-chip” athlete is a departure from the regime of former coach Rocky Long.”
These two players are rated at four and five stars, and are considered to be in the top of their class for defensive line prospects.  So, even getting a visit by the two is a great feat.
Also, Smith and Lemonier plan on playing together no matter what, before Lobo fans get excited the pair have all ready visited Florida, Central Florida, and South Florida.

SB Nation: Block U and Team Speed Kills brings a great view from the BCS hearings today.  Block U writes in regards to the hypocrisy of scheduling when comparing the non-BCS to the BCS.

Team Speed Kills talks about the economics of the BCS and recaps the BCS hearings. All three of these articles are a must read, and far more then I could write up today in recapping the BCS hearings.

 

Sean Duff, The Coloradoan: The ticket allotment for the Colorado versus Colorado State game in Boulder have sold most of their ticket allotment.  That is not saying much, because the total allotment is 1,200 tickets.  If the game were at Denver the Rams would have thousands of more tickets to offer to the students.

Colorado moved the game because they wanted six home games, so they decided to move even though they make more money if the game were in Denver.
