Many experts felt that if Boise St. defeated the Oregon Ducks in a playoff type game, they would solidify their chances at a BCS bowl invitation. But following their 19-8 victory, the team is still without a BCS bid.
"We worked our tails off, and for what?" said Boise St. head coach Chris Peterson. "We are undefeated, and we've beaten a ranked opponent from a BCS conference. But has anyone called from the Fiesta Bowl, the Orange Bowl, or the Sugar Bowl? No. I don't know what else we can do. The system needs to be fixed."
The Boise St. Broncos have done all that they could do, and yet remain on the outside, looking in. This controversy will surely add fuel to the fire for those in favor of a playoff system.

UCLA, Rest of PAC-10 Thinks USC Should Have a Salary Cap
Friday, August 7, 2009
USC has dominated the PAC-10 in football while under Pete Carroll. Today, UCLA and the remaining PAC-10 schools have made it known publicly that they would like the Trojans to have a salary cap.
"We all pay players, who are we kidding. But there needs to be a limit. Not everyone has the resources of a USC," said a member of the Bruins staff, who would like to remain anonymous. "The rest of the PAC-10 can't compete if the playing field isn't leveled. It's pretty much like the Yankees and Red Sox in baseball. The rich keep getting richer."
No word yet from the PAC-10 offices on when or if a football salary cap would be implemented.
