BYU is already headed to the Las Vegas Bowl, apparently in an attempt to generate enough revenue to keep the bowl game alive and viable.

I find this funny because I remember Lavell Edwards once described BYU fans at bowl games as "Bringing the 10 Commandments and a 20 dollar bill...and not breaking either"

I saw that BYU acceptance and also thought it funny. The casinos will be thrilled. :tongue2:

Great quote, though, I had forgotten that one.

Maybe this time Louisville gets it done? (well, assuming the game would even happen)

Michigan's TE Leonard Pope for Georgia would be a tough assignment, big athletic guy.

Auburn is somewhat similar to Ohio State. They started off struggling at QB and took an early loss. Now they are playing lights out offense IMO! Cox their QB just had to get more experience as the season went on. Much like Troy Smith progressing. You might even be able to make the same comparison in our running backs with Kenny Irons running with confidence as is Pittman. Anyways, Auburn is peaking like Ohio State and Wisky (or whoever) will have their hands full!
