The BCS games have identical payouts so why would they care who travels the
best? Ohio State money spends the same no matter where they go. Are you
saying that they favor one city's hotels and establishments over another?
BCS bowl money is split among the conferences and ND. As far as I can see,
if the system is rigged for OSU to make the title game it ain't 'cause of
the money.
