Boise State's win over the Sooners of Oklahoma not only goes down as the most exciting college football game ever played (the deciding play was a Statue of Liberty where the QB fakes a pass to one side of the field without the ball in his hand - it's hidden in his other hand behind his back - while a back takes the ball zooms to the other side of the end zone, makes a beeline to the cheerleaders, gets down on one knee, proposes, and the cheerleader accepts and jumps into his arms - you can't make this shit up!),
but it ushers in the era of December Delirium (read March Madness for college football) where the mid majors get their due, are legitimized, and show that "on any given Bowl Day" there are now more than the 15 old guard teams that can beat the brains out of each other.
Removing that objection, coupled with the David vs. Goliath theater that these scenarios provide, will lure enough TV money to get everybody paid, which will enable them to acquiesce to the CFA Playoff movement and get er done.
The good news - we'll have a true national champion. The bad news - if you think bowl game sponsorship names are horrible now.......
