I think I am not making myself clear. Two issues combined, really. First, what I mean is that everyone signed on to a format. The format was settled long before the controversy. Folks that complain about the format - the format that their program (Okie State) signed on to far in advance - have nothing to gripe about concerning the right of Bama to jump them, although they may have a gripe about the process. You can complain about the unfairness of a law and how it should be changed, but that does not mean the law needs to be changed just for you once it has been in place and you agreed to it before you were affected by it.

That's exactly where I fall every time there are complaints about which team should be in the championship game. You agreed to the rules, you have to play by them.

And petitioning for change only after you believe you have been shafted comes across as purely self-serving, in my IMO.

I think the game is not the most entertaining, and not the most satisfying to watch from a conference rivaly/interest standpoint, but I think the two teams are in fact the two best teams.

Doesn't make it the "best game"...huge difference.

The Dark side of the Force(ESPiN) has great influence over the weak minded.

Actually, Mili, I agree totally with you on this. Okie State and the Corn Dogs is a better game. Selfishly, my city would be free of Bama fans for the weekend too. :sad:

I wouldn't be angry at all had Michigan gotten a rematch in 06. What makes me mad is the double standard and the bias towards the SEC.

True. Perhaps it is an "earned" bias however, given the stats that Josh always jumps on me for mentioning (or for mentioning for the zillionth time....whatever) :p

Oklahoma-Iowa is the only game that I see as a sure loss for the Big Ten.

Hawkeyes have been pretty damn impressive lately in Bowl games, with three straight wins, one a BCS win, another over the SEC, and the last over a top 15 Missouri squad. It'll be closer then the experts think, imo.

I think it'll be close because the Oklahoma players won't give a shit. If they're not up by 3 TDs halfway through the first quarter, they'll probably quit like they did against Oklahoma State.

I agree and trust me I know how M fans can be.. I'm a season ticket holder and I want to choke half the fan base..

I argue with all my buddies because when they bring up the fab 5 I say it didn't happen and they get mad

Ohio State and Florida were the only two bowl opponents to be featured on "Tailgate Paradise" on Travel Channel, which just debuted.

Mostly SEC schools and Wisconsin joining the Buckeyes and Gators on the special.

Exactly. It didn't happen. If it had, I'm certain I'd be giving Michigan fans a hard time over Chris Weber calling time out when his team didn't have any, which they didn't, since that game never happened.
