This just came through the Twitter machine, and I’m not sure how to feel. From Dan Shanoff:
TCU! Cincinnati! For Allll the Marbles!

↵I ask you: Right at this moment, does unbeaten Cincy vs. unbeaten TCU for (at least a share of) the national title seem THAT crazy? No.
↵
↵
Do I direct my vitriol at a. Dan Shanoff, b. TCU and Cincinnati, for feigning legitimacy, or c. the college football elite, for refusing to separate themselves neatly into two title contenders?
↵
But I can say this much: I wouldn’t be alone in crying foul over a TCU-Cincy title game. And if years of controversial outcomes involving major conference teams hasn’t killed the BCS, what if that shadowy formula put mid-majors in the title game a couple times over the next few years?
↵
Put it this way: it’s much harder for conference bigwigs to sit complacently in their skybox when they’re watching a team like TCU get blown out by 30 points against say, Alabama. For college football fans begging for a playoff, TCU to the title game might just be a best-case scenario.
