But this is a proven method. TCU and Utah went to multiple BCS bowls and won them. How can you argue that wasn't the reason they were taken? I know other things go into to (TCU being in Texas, etc.), but you can't argue that establishing a culture of winning didn't make them even more attractive.
BTW, I appreciate the civil discussion. Although we seem to disagree, I am grateful to hear your opinion and engage in a discussion.
