Not that it matters much for this match up but I'm surprised the PAC doesn't have a neutral site format for its CCG. Apparently, fan support is that bad out west.

Seems to me San Diego would be an attractive venue for such an annual gig.

I'm a fan of the best team getting the game. Autzen should have no problem with filling the seats nor the atmosphere. Can't say the same for Indy. :shrug:

That's not always as cut and dried as this case. If the division winners have the same record, and didn't play each other, who is the "best team"?

Well, we could have another first on our hands courtesy of UCLA. According to the NCAA's ruling today the Bruins would still be bowl eligible at 6-7, meaning they could play in a CCG, a bowl game, and finish 2 games under .500.

What a system. :lol:

Too bad that USC is ineligible. What a mess the Pac-12 this year. Teams like Cal would look good one week then shit the bed the next. Utah started slow, got some good out of conference wins, picked up some steam and then shit the bed against Colorado. UCLA gets stomped by Arizona, beats Cal and ASU and then gets raped by Utah and curbstomped 50-0 by USC. ASU starts strong and then takes a dump on itself the last four games of the year. Washington has an ok year losing to teams that they should lose to until they get spanked by a bad Oregon State team. It'll be interesting to see how this conference does in their bowls this year. Depending on how they play I can see them winning all of their games and also losing all of their games.

And that's why the UCLA team carried Neuheisel off the practice field on their shoulders yesterday. They realized they had no chance to do it after winning the CCG.

I agree with the ruling to allow them in a bowl game. It's not UCLA's fault that USC's sanctions placed UCLA in this game, setting them up for a 7th loss.

I posted it in another thread, but North Texas was 5-6 in 2001 and went to a bowl as the winner of the Sun Belt, where they lost and finished 5-7.

So UCLA won't set the record for worst winning percentage for a bowl team(.429 > .417), and they won't be the first bowl team to end up 2 games under .500, but UCLA could become the first 8-loss bowl team.

Good thing they have a CCG to determine who really is the best team in the conference. :roll1:

What an absolute fucking joke...

The problem is these CCGs aren't about determining the best team in the conference. If that was the goal, the leagues would be smaller and every team would play every other team in a true round robin.

It's all about the Benjamins...
