OH-BOISE! Broncos Beat VT and the BCS Committee toward Championship Bid

They needed to do it.

Down four with under two minutes, they did.

With a win over Virginia Tech, Kellen Moore—who now becomes the leading instant Heisman contender in only Week 1—has lead his team past Boise State's biggest hurdle to the National Championship:

The BCS committee.

You can believe that while every college football fan in the nation outside of the DC area was celebrating the win over VT, you can be sure every single member of the BCS committee swore under their breath. The real atrocity here is not that two teams were hung out to dry, having their title shots put on the line in the first week of the season, but that a team this good has to jump through this many hoops before getting the publicity they deserve and a shot at the national championship.

Not that they've had much help.

It only took them three years, two perfect seasons, and a Fiesta bowl before the cartel that is the BCS finally had to admit them into the party. As a last-ditch attempt to keep them from busting their beloved BCS, they tried to pull a fast one by putting a potentially championship-ending game in Week 1. The big boys at the BCS hoped that the Hokies could solve for them in one game what they had tried and failed to stop over three years.

Good thing the Broncos love to beat the big boys. But even with a win as definitive as the one on Monday night, the difficult thing to truly know right now is who got beat worse that evening:

Virginia Tech or the BCS committee?
