Does Texas deserve to be BCS #4? I personally don’t think so. I think Cal has done enough to be in the Rose Bowl. The only team they lost to, and came very very close to beating, is #1 USC.

Their problems are twofold:

1. They did not run up the scores, especially towards the end and especially against Southern Miss.
2. They did not kiss up to coaches and did not have brothers who would vote for their team (reference to Texas coach’s brother who votes in the ESPN poll).

Coach Tedford’s extension is only a silver lining and people who make decisions about rankings and such (read: BCS committee) should make at least the final coaches poll identified by coach, just like AP does it for its writers.

We need some transparency in this whole mess we call college football rankings.
