A race horse is not a sports team...it's a single individual entity.

North Dakota is a TEAM of individual players. 11 are on the field at all times. Race horses are individuals. They don't race together as a team in units of eleven. Got that?

Jerry Rice was voted the #1 NFL player of all-time...he played at Mississippi Valley State...which is barred from the BCS. Walter Payton played at Jackson State and he was a top 5 player all-time.

The 1st pick in the NFL draft just came from the Central Michigan Chippewas.

Comparing football players to race horses is dopey enough ... but you want to compare entire football teams with a 52-man roster to race horses?

Tears, Jerry, tears.

Wow you didnt or you didnt want too.Please let me explain. The path to both the Derby and BCS are CLEARLY defined ahead of time. If you choose for whatever reason not to follow the path then you dont get in really very elementary Dougie.
