The 2011 NCAA college football season ended Saturday with no big surprises, creating a BCS bowl schedule with no real shockers. No teams dropped out of the AP and BCS Top 25, with every higher ranked team halting its opponent's upset bid in their respective conference championships. No BCS busters this year, either - No. 7 Boise State and No. 18 TCU will be kept out of a BCS bowl game, playing for the Maaco Bowl and San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, respectively.
