Son, wtf did your Louisiana Tech Bulldogs do...no bowl game for them.

[DMX7]

sons the biggest disappointment for me is the main four BCS bowl games are all pretty dull. now I'm sure at least one of them will come down to the wire and be an exciting game (hopefully), but none of them look good in my opinion. the only one that appears to be somewhat evenly matched ON PAPER is Oregon vs K-State, but K-State is a team that allowed a very bad Baylor team to drop 52 points on them so God only knows how bad Oregon is going to punish them. I could see Florida and Louisville putting on a decent show, but the other two (Rose and Fiesta) are just horrible looking.

the Cotton, Chik-fil-A, and Outback Bowls all look more attractive than the Rose and Fiesta Bowls.

Baylor is NOT bad on offense. They can score points on anyone.

I know Miles pisses you LSU folk off, but he is literally the only guy who has gone toe-to-toe with Saban since that bas got to Bama. Plus, he has maintained an elite program. It's just not as easy as you guys make it out to be

All he needs is a good OC and they will be equal to Bama.

As for A&M/OU, I'll give the Stoops bro's credit and say that they will make it a game given a month to prepare. Saying that, there defense will have no answer for Johnny Football and he will run wild. People thinking we run the "air raid" obviously haven't watched us this year and I don't see how OU can stop our running game behind our monster O-Line. Like I said, I think Stoops will have his boys ready to play and I definitely think they will put some points on the board against our defense but Landry Jones is going to have to play a perfect game for them to beat us and I'm not putting my money on that happening.

I'm curious how serious OU's players are going to take the game. It's got to be a huge letdown to get screwed out of a BCS bowl like they did.

I still can't believe that 9-3 LaTech isn't in a bowl game but 6-7 Georgia Tech is.

And a five loss Wisconsin team is in Rose Bowl.

the BCS might.......might.......have gotten the le game right, but they got most of the other bowls wrong

[coyotes_geek]

Granted it doesn't make for a very good bowl game, but I don't have a problem with Wisconsin being there. It's not the BCS' fault that OSU & PSU got on probation or that Wisconsin kicked Nebraska's ass. It's the Big East being AQ and that 2 team max rule that screwed everything up. Take away the Big East's AQ bid and you get rid of Louisville and NIU (wouldn't have finished above an AQ conf champ so the rule that let them in wouldn't have come into play). Depending whether you went from a 2-team max to a 3-team max or a no-max you'd replace Louisville and NIU with Georgia and either LSU or Oklahoma.

The B1G is having a bad year. None of those teams in that conference should be rewarded with an automatic trip to the Rose.

It's the BCS's fault for not placing stricter standards on BCS participants.

I'm not sure UGA doesn't have a huge hangover from the SEC championship and comes out with a "who gives a " at ude and loses that game similar to Bama a few years ago with Utah. They should be able to roll on talent alone, but we will see.


The BCS sucks this year and these bowl matchups blow. Bama-ND and A&m-OK probably look the best to me right now.

True. It would surprise exactly nobody if Georgia comes in with apathy and loses.

It's also really stupid that Florida leap frogs the dogs and gets rewarded with a BCS game

Nothing against Stanford, I just think Wisky is probably better than their record. Their five losses are by a total of 19 points, two of those in OT. They've cycled through three different starting QBs. They seem to have their QB situation straightened out and they have the running game going again. They might not beat Stanford but imo they've got a better chance than most of the other bowl-bound B1G teams.

I think Stanford will beat up Wisconsin pretty bad.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I think Stanford will beat up Wisconsin pretty bad.

How do ya think da Pac does this year Tlong? You agree they can go 6-2 or even better?

[tlongII]

The Pac will be anywhere from 5-3 to 8-0 imo. UW will have its hands full with Boise State.

I like Wisky's chances even more w/Barry Alvarez's greasy a$$ back on the sidelines in a cameo appearance.

[leemajors]

Stoooooooooops does know how to beat A&M, should be an interesting game

[DesignatedT]

Everybody knew how to beat Fran and Sherman..

It's essentially a toss up game according to the odds makers.
