I'm happy that we have a classic Big Ten-Pac Ten Rose Bowl, but I am VERY disappointed that USC isn't playing for a national title. I feel USC and LSU deserve to play each other for the National Championship.

I totally dislike the current format, because it leaves out teams who have great seasons but play in "weak" conferences. An example of this is Northern Illionis, they went 10-2 losing to eventual MAC runner-up Bowling Green and Toledo. However, they aren't going to a Bowl and I find that a shame. People say that they won't get TV-ratings, ticket buys and what not with these unknown teams in bowls. I've always felt America is a society that loves underdogs.
