I would love to hear your thoughts about the bowl lineup. Great matchups, lousy matchups, upset specials, anything you got.

I think TCU and Boise got hosed. Although my reccomendation is that whoever wins that game, refer to themselves as National Champions afterwards. Or maybe as "Fiesta National Champions". I think the Cincy vs Florida game will be a barn-burner. No way Cincys defense can stop Florida, so it should be a shoot-out.

Im sure most will be pretty good games. But I hate that they placed Boise and TCU against each other. I want to see them against the "Big Boys"

We need a playoff system, I think it could be done...you just need......just kidding, just kidding.
Looking forward to seeing if the Big Ten can make a good showing.

For the BCS....I would love to see a playoff this year since there are so many undefeated teams and some very good 1 loss teams.
I also would have prefered the two non-BCS schools play BCS opponents. TCU vs. Florida would have been nice. Boise St. Vs. Cincy. I'm thinking they pitted them against eachother so the BCS wouldn't look bad again like last years trouncing of Alabama by Utah. But it will be a good game non the less.
One of my sleeper games, which I'm more excited to watch them some of the BCS games is SMU vs. Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl. I love both offenses. Both are very interesting and still some what unique.

Agreed, TCU and Boise both got a deal neither one of them wanted. Have a feeling the BCS powers didn't want 2 teams from non-automatic qualifiers beating 2 teams from the autos. I would have liked to see TCU v Florida...but I also coached at TCU for 5 years so my opinion is a little biased. In TCU's last 6 bowl games (including this one), they will have played Boise in 3 of them.

I would have liked to have seen TCU vs. Florida and Boise State vs. Cincinnatti. I'm happy with Ga Tech vs. Iowa even if it kind of seems like the other bowl this year. I don't think Iowa is that great and probably doesn't really deserve a BCS birth, but who else is there?

It will be interesting to see which Florida team shows up. Will they come ready to play or will they just be going thru the motions after losing the SECCG?

My Sooners get to take on the smart kids from Stanford (Sun Bowl) and try to tackle that beast out of the west. If you have not had the chance to watch that kid run, youtube him. He's my pick for the Heisman. Cat can go.

Here's what it should have been IMO:
TCU vs. GT-Sugar
Iowa vs. Cinncinnati-Orange
Bosie St. vs. Florida-Fiesta

Here's what it should have been IMO: TCU vs. GT-Sugar Iowa vs. Cinncinnati-Orange Bosie St. vs. Florida-Fiesta The only problem is the tie ins. UF had to go to the Sugar and after Georgia blasted Hawaii a few years ago, and Bama got spanked last year by Utah, they weren't going to take a chance. The BCS knows that if TCU or Boise beat a team that was undefeated and from a BCS conference, it would make the playoff arguement even stronger. That is why they are putting TCU and Boise together in what I think will be the best BCS bowl game. |

All of you guys are correct. They didn't want 2 undefeated schools from the non big boy conferences possibly knocking off 2 power conference teams. TCU may be the best team of anyone. I would have given my right nut to see TCU vs. Florida. Everybody that I have talked to in these parts (and I talked with a lot of coaches today via e-mail), wanted to see TCU vs. Florida. Texas vs. Alabama will be a great game. Each team had close calls this year. It doesn't matter how each played on Saturday. They will both be different teams in 30 to 31 days. It will be fun.

Your right, I didn't think about the bowl tie-in, but it's still fun to dream.....another good game will be Oregon vs. Ohio St.-will be interesting to see if Ohio St. is taking notes on how to utilize your athletic QB. |

This is off topic but another thing that drives me crazy about all of this is waiting 30+ days between games.
Look how long Ohio St has had to wait in years past when they were in the NC. Typically 40+ days....thats crazy

But cnunley that is for the student-athlete. That's the reason we can't have a playoff because we need to protect the student-athlete. ~dripping in sarcasm.

I just wish we didn't have to watch Texas play Alabama. I don't know how they would pick someone else since Texas did win vs. Nebraska, but I have ZERO respect for Texas vs. Alabama. Texas hasn't played anyone good this year and looked bad vs. Nebraska. I pick 'bama by at least 2 TD's in a boring national championship game.

Didn't win? Final, official, score Texas 13 Nebraska 12.
It will be a great bowl and Texas will win and be the National Champions.

TCU and Boise got screwed. I agree the Heisman should go to the Standford RB.

All of you are right. TCU and Boise did get a raw deal.
I would have to vote for Suh for the Heisman. The most dominate
defensive player to come along in years.

I wouldn't Say Boise got screwd. I don't think they should in the Nat'l Championship game. I do beleive that TCU got screwd. They actually played a tougher schedule than Texas and was dominiate the entire season.

By playing each other TCU and Boise got hosed. They should be playing a BCS team. But, as has been stated, both of them winning would make the BCS look even worse than they already do. The should be playing Cincinnati and Florida.
