An Interesting look at this past weekends Utah State-San Jose State Match Up

Fox Sports featured this past weekends Aggies-Spartans match up in its online "Un-BCS Game of the Week."

Some of the comments made about this video are scathing, and I can't say I disagree with them. Among them, people talk about how much of pit Berkeley is right now (it is), and how nice San Jose and the campus is (which is true.) Other accusations include calling him a BCS Bigot and a BCS Harlot, both insults which appear to be true.

Although he takes a stab at the university's commuter status, which one commenter and I commend him on. San Jose State being unable to sell out Spartan Stadium is problematic, especially considering they are usually the only act in town on Saturday night (the Sharks rarely conflict schedule-wise.)

The problem I have with the feature? Ryan Sifferman, the host, is far too smug in putting down these two schools, and he obviously missed the boat on looking up SJSU's national ranking (67 in CBS Sports' Top 120, one behind UCLA and one in front of Hawaii.)

It's not fair. I want to be paid to be smug and condescending about average and bad football teams.
