Again, you can't just assume a BCS team has a tougher schedule just because. TCU has a higher schedule strength than both Texas and Cincy and is only 14 spots behind Florida (48 vs. 34).

Uh, I didn't assume anything. I read your post, I'm well aware of the all so infallible strength of schedule ratings you threw out there, but the fact is when you look at that schedule you don't exactly get chills. BYU and Utah are good teams but I don't think they're that great, the win at Virginia seemed pretty impressive until it became clear that the Cavs suck, the win at Clemson is pretty big so I'll give you that one. I know what the ratings say, I just don't believe that looking at a table of ratings is an intelligent way to assess a schedule.
As for the earlier point, I wasn't referring to particular teams but more to the idea that the WAC, MWC or any other non-BCS conference is at the same level as the top 6. Occasionally there are 2-3 teams in a non-BCS that are pretty solid, but most years (or all years in the case of the WAC) there's one team that can waltz past the entire conference.
I'd love to see TCU play Texas, Bama, or Florida, I think they'd actually have a good chance, but the idea that they deserve to be there over one of those teams (assuming they're undefeated) is ridiculous.
