the kid is unbelievably a TEAM player and I hope he comes back to KSU as a coach...he is what every coach dreams of having....a competitor, a leader, a winner, and a damned good kid.
although I feel some of this love being poured on KSU is just window dressing to cover up the ass rape that we got in the BCS selection.....
not to sound like a Husker fan here, but looking at what we did this year, and knowing the gaps we need to fill next year, I see KSU making a legit run for a national title next year!

Uh, don't you know that you can only play for the national title if you are in the SEC. Its a BCS rule.
But if you are good enough, you can play a PAC 12 team as a consolation prize.
So when he runs over Arkansas- will Arkansas still be the 3rd best SEC team with a great defense? Or will Arkansas suddenly have just been over rated all year?

KSU has been, a 6 time qualifier, and a 1 time recipient of the BCS bid ONLY because we beat the so called "greatest team to EVER be on the field" OU in the 2003 title game...beat them 35-7, and they STILL got to play for the national title.
simple solution, 8 conferences. each MUST have a conference title game. winners of the conference go on to the BCS bowls as 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5 matchups.... Holiday, Fiesta, Rose, Cotton. winners meet in Sugar, Orange.
those winners meet in the title game. problem solved.... then the rest of the bowls can have a team that is not in that 8.
ESPN, the NCAA, and the BCS are all guilty of exploiting these young men. and the fans.

AMEN!!!!And the money they could get from a TV contract would make what they get now seem like pocket change. But the "powers that be" are afraid of losing power and the university presidents are at the top of the list of problems. Bring on a playoff. But probably won't happen!

| the rose bowl, in my opinion, should be left out of a play off...let them take the pac 12 and big 10 #2 teams for their precious "historic rivalry " and the champs go on to the play off

It would take only 1 year of not attending the games, and these guys losing their shirts. Bet it would change then.
