I'll say that, sure - but it's wrong.
The BCS prestige will be a huge recruiting coup, IMO. It didn't help Kansas because Kansas was simply a shit program and couldn't build on that momentum. Mizzou's shown to be competent across the board with solid recruiting for upwards of a decade even without that boost.
Being able to point to a Sugar Bowl win would be huge in living rooms throughout the south. You can go into some of Georgia's stomping grounds and take their guys. You can go toe to toe with SC and Florida and win a recruit or two.
We have to get a 'headline' win to take the next step.
It sucks. I hate it. The BCS bowls are absolutely silly little rigged titles that don't represent much...but 18 year old kids and their starstruck parents will absolutely eat that shit up.
