I think USC is getting upset by UCLA. Michigan vs OSU in the National title game.

USC vs Florida Rose Bowl

Oklahoma vs ND Fiesta

Boise St vs Rutgers Sugar Bowl

Wake Forest vs LSU Orange bowl

If people where seriously talkingabout Arkansas for the National Championship game (before their 2nd loss) even though they lost by like 40 to USC, I bet people would be talking about Oklahoma being deserving of a shot since they only had one 7 point loss to Texas.

Maybe not though, since Wisconsin was never even mentioned in the title game situation.

The Capital One bowl is basically going to be another BCS Bowl game though, Wisconsin vs Florida or Arkansas

I'm looking foward to Boise State going up againest Oklahoma. Last time I remember them being a tough oppopent like Oklahoma they got destoried (@Georgia)

That is because Wisconsin clearly isn't on the level of Michigan or Ohio State. A great team, of course, but they didn't have the toughest schedule this year.

Also, if Florida isn't in the BCS game, aren't they obligated to be in the Sugar Bowl? I think the Sugar Bowl would shit a brick if they gave up an SEC team for an independent and a Big East team.

They might give up their chance for a SEC team if they can get Norte Dame

The Sugar Bowl gets the SEC #1.

Whoever that may be.

The Big 12 bowl situation is all fucked up now, because the Gator and Sun Bowls have weird plans where they don't have to pick teams and what not, so it looks like we, an 8 win team, might be going to the Insight Bowl to play a 6 win team. We should be in the Alamo Bowl, at the worst the Sun Bowl, but the way shit works out, Insight Bowl might be ours. Meh.

Why does the ACC #3 play in the Gator Bowl and not the #2? That doesn't make sense to me.

The Gator Bowl is super fucked up. This isn't the whole scenario, but part of it.

In the next four years, it has to choose a Big 12 team twice. When it does, it will be Big 12 #4 I believe. It does, however, have a one time clause where it can jump ahead of the Cotton Bowl and take Big 12 #2. So this year, if the Gator Bowl was smart it would jump in and take Texas, but it will probably be stupid and take one of the Big East team's since this is as good as that conference gets this year.

ND is lucky they have so many fans, right now they are eligable for a BCS game but aren't guaranteed. I personally don't think they deserve a BCS game, the 2 games they had againest other BCS teams they got their asses handed to them. Since they travel well, and their fans get the most hotel rooms, buy the most merchandise they'll be in a BCS game.

I find it funny that Miami is playing Nevada in the MPC Computers Bowl in Boise, Idaho. It just doesn't seem right.

Is that for sure? If so, Miami on the smurf turf is going to be weird.

Also, there are more deserving teams than ND, is Rutgers beats UWV, then Louisville is getting screwed. Can't you only have two teams from a conference? If so, Arkansas and Wisconsin are getting screwed.

Yup its a fact, accepted yesterday. Nevada's offense is crazy too, I think they call it the Pistol or something. QB in a short shotgun with a the tailback lined up behind him like in the regular I. Looks real weird

LSU is playing in the Rose Bowl, still a rumor I guess but its pretty much a given now

Yeah, I think it is pretty much

Ohio State vs. USC in the Nat Champ
Michigan vs. LSU/Florida in the Rose
Oklahoma vs. Boise in the Fiesta
SEC Champ vs. Notre Dame in the Sugar
ACC Champ vs. Big East Champ in the Orange

UCLA UPSETS USC THIS WEEK. MARK IT DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 24-21 UCLA.

What do you think would happen if USC did lose? Florida or Michigan?

Michigan

How does LSU jump Arkansas or Florida, especially Florida if they lose.

No clue, maybe because they travel well?? Makes no sense to me, figured Arkansas and Florida would both the 2 teams getting BCS bids out of the SEC. Now if Florida loses they are out of the BCS, wow.

I am kind of expecting Arkansas to get blown out.

Actaully LSU beat Arkansas right? I guess that's why

I dunno, kinda fucked up. Why don't they just wait and see what happens in the SEC title game and then decide?

DO IT UCLA

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RUSH THAT FIELD BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYS

UCLA is gonna win

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

INT

HAHAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE IT

I love when people talk about BCS games and their matchups with like 5 weeks left and the games haven't even been played yet.

Betcha Florida loses too (probly not) to really fuck us up

That wouldn't fuck it up at all, because Michigan would be the only other team. It is going to be interesting to see how Florida and Michigan are placed next week. Also, if OU beats Nebraska pretty handily they should be ranked No. 4 after this week.

Also, this is the best Big 12 Championship game matchup since OU and K-State in whatever year that was. The crowd is big, two programs great for traveling are there, and it looks like this years game is sold out. I don't think CU and OU sold out two years ago, when CU got blown out. They should keep the Big 12 championships in Oklahoma City and Kansas City though, it's stupid to have stuff in Dallas when those two cities are right int he middle.

HAHAHA, fuck you Huskers. Cool that they tried something cool on the first play, glad it got canned though. This should be Mizzou vs. Oklahoma, we fucked that up.

HAHAHAHA, Purify just fumbled and OU has the ball on the three after ONE play.

I never didnt think Florida couldn't be in the national title game, I just think they are grossly overrated.

I'm so glad that UCLA won though.

How are they grossly overrated though? I mean unless you think the whole SEC is overrated.

UCLA shoulda been cheering to lose..now they'll have that shitty coach Dorrell for another season, lol

Flordia has terrible management of the clock. Leak is so overrated. The defense is terrible. And if you say that Florida losing to Auburn a better matchup of Michigan losing to OSU, you are on crack.

Michigan's only loss was to the best team, but on the same token, Florida beat a lot more good teams than Michigan.

That isn't the important thing though. Michigan has already showed that they can not beat Ohio State. If Michigan beats Ohio State in the BCS Title Game, who is the national champions?

Here we go Rutgerssssssssssssssssssss
