The most glaring example of the sheer genius of these clowns in colored sport coats is the Sugar Bowl that pits the Michigan Wolverines against the Virginia Tech Hokies. This is a matchup in which Einstein himself would be breathless as the unbridled brilliance of intelligent life form that would have to rank beneath that of the average baboon. In Michigan you do get a team that won 10 games but failed to win its division in the Big Ten Conference. Michigan finished in second place behind Michigan State in what Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany so creatively named the "Legends Division," more on Delany later. So the team that Michigan beat out, Michigan State, which lost a thrilling and epic Big Ten Championship Game to Wisconsin, gets kicked to the curb for its "Big Brother" Michigan.

Virginia Tech, meanwhile, did win its Coastal Division crown in the Atlantic Coast Conference but was then destroyed in the ACC title game by Clemson. As a reward for getting blown out of their conference championship game, the Hokies get a BCS Bowl Bid in the Sugar Bowl while more deserving teams that were higher ranked in the final BCS standings such as Kansas State and Boise State get passed by.

Why would anyone want to watch Boise State, a team that took apart Virginia Tech last year, have another shot at big time glory when we can all watch Virginia Tech, a team that couldn't even be competitive in its conference title game? Yeah, let's all take a day off from work to watch that!

As for the theory that Kansas State and Boise State don't "travel" as well as Michigan and Virginia Tech; that has been disproven each year and K-State sold out its allotment of Cotton Bowl tickets this year in 5 minutes.
