Your opinion of the BCS Matchups?

This is the way I see it is this:

1. OSU-Florida: Nothing to say. Our Bucks playing for the title.

2. USC-Michigan: Should be great game with alot to prove for both teams.

3. LSU-ND: Should be pretty fun to watch because I hope to see ND get shitfaced by LSU and look like fools once again.

4. Oklahoma-BSU: I think this has the potential to be an underdog classic, because BSU has alot to prove to be a national power and that they deserve their undefeated record. Oklahoma will also be coached up and ready to play, but BSU has the potential to pull off a great upset and make a great game out of it.

5. Louisville-Wake: Probably the worst of the matchups, but Louisville should be fun to watch with their offense, and I'm sure Wake wants to prove themselves to the country as a top team.

I think that the Michigan-USC game will be a good one.

Honestly, I enjoy watching Wake Forest play football. Groh is a hell of a coach. People can knock that matchup, but Wake earned it.

LSU is going to absolutely destroy Notre Dame. The Irish couldn't block the Michigan defensive line........there is no way in hell that they'll be able to block LSU.

What does the coach at Virginia have to do with Wake Forest. :wink2:

I love the B10-Pac10 Rose Bowl matchup. *go blue* and I'm ecstatic with LSU smoking Notre Ame. A 63-0 LSU victory would be too close for my taste.

For the other games, I wish Oklahoma and Louisville would switch places:
---Louisvlle vs. Boise St. - first to one hundred wins.
---Oklahoma vs. WF - first to three wins.

I gotta admit, I think I'm going to be pulling for TSUN in the Rose. I've grown so freaking sick of the USC and Pete Carroll media machine that I would love to see them get thumped by a Big 10 school. It's all a by-product of the arrogant Three-Pete crap that ended up being nothing more than a single championship. And before anyone brings up 2003, LSU won that NC. If you don't recognize the BCS champion as the NC, then why in the hell does it exist?

I always root for the Big Ten in bowl games. But I enjoy laughing at Michigan and Lloyd when Tyler Ecker allows himself to be tackled rather than pitch the ball to someone, when there's about 100+ people on the field. ("And the band is out on the field!!!") I'm going to root for Michigan over USC. I tend to dislike teams when they win too much (except for Ohio State, of course). USC is in that boat, for the moment. But that may be the most interesting game of the four "mini" BCS games. My interest factor: 8/10.

Of course, Ohio State and Florida is the biggest game. I've been saying for the past week or more that I think it should be Ohio State and Florida. I didn't want to see November 18 become meaningless with an Ohio State - Michigan rematch, and I thought that Florida was a better team than USC. So, we get to see that game. It should be a kick-ass ending to a kick-ass season. My interest factor: umm..

Sugar Bowl: LSU will win. I don't know why. I don't know anything about LSU, except that they supposedly have tremendous talent. Notre Dame has a good offense, but a slow defense. But I don't know who to root for. LSU is SEC and I'd love to see the SEC lose all their big bowl games. Rivals Radio always has SEC fans call up and they all sound funny with their claims to awesomeness. But, then again, it's Notre Dame. I'd love to see Jabba the Weis lose a third game, and watch the Notre Dame fans suck his ass, anyway. (You know they will.) My interest factor: 7/10.

edit: I don't actually want to WATCH them suck his ass. It's just funny that that do.

Orange Bowl: I think it's Wake Forest against Louisville. I don't know who'd I'd root for. Probably Wake Forest. But I have nothing against Louisville. I just think that Wake Forest is the Rutgers of the ACC. As long as FSU and Miami and some of those other "Big Name" teams didn't make it, it's all pretty sweet. My interest factor: 4/10

Fiesta Bowl: You gotta pull for Boise State. I don't think they have a chance. But, then again, I didn't think UCLA had a chance over USC. But I don't really care much about it. My interest factor: 3/10.

Note: I'm still pretty interested in these games. A 2/10 on this scale beats out most other activities, for me, including giving myself a hernia. I'll be sure to watch them all, if, for no other reason than that there's no other college football on.

I hear you on the root for the Big 10 thing, I have rooted for scUM in bowl games a few times for this reason. I won't be rooting for them this year. Funny too, because I found myself rooting for UCLA on Saturday because I also dislike teams that "win too much" escpecially when I think the Pac10 is overrated (I can't believe anybody thinks it is the toughest conference). However, I will be rooting for USC on Jan 1st because I will so enjoy watching LLLLLoyd implode in the same sadistic way that it is enjoyable to a 12 year old boy to watch the wings being pulled off of a fly. If they win, we will continue to hear the woulda, coulda, shouldas until the end of time. Although it might be equally sadistically fun to hear that as well.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
BCS policy leaves Wisconsin in lurch
Two-team limit per league hurts Badgers
Wednesday, December 13, 2006

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

Quinn Pitcock gave an interesting answer when asked, if given a magic wand, what one thing he would change about the Bowl Championship Series.
The Ohio State senior defensive tackle didn?t mention anything about establishing a playoff system or giving Michigan another chance at the topranked Buckeyes instead of Florida in the national title game.
"I know one thing that I?d change is I feel like, with Wisconsin not being able to get in, you should be able to have more than two teams out of your conference go to a BCS game," Pitcock said. "They?re going to the Capital One Bowl ? but I feel like if you are ranked in the top 10 teams you should be able to play in a BCS game."
Make that the top seven in the case of Wisconsin (11-1). In the final BCS standings, the Badgers finished ahead of BCS bowl-bound teams Boise State (eighth), Oklahoma (10 th), Notre Dame (11 th) and Wake Forest (14 th).
But the BCS has a long-standing rule that no more than two teams from a conference can go to BCS bowls in a single season. In the case of the Big Ten, Ohio State (12-0) is headed for the national title game and Michigan (11-1), the only team to beat Wisconsin, is headed for the Rose Bowl.
That meant Wisconsin had to settle for a second straight trip to the Capital One Bowl to play Arkansas even though the Badgers posted their first 11-win regular season and were fifth in the USA Today coaches poll and sixth in the Harris Interactive poll, two of the three components of the BCS ratings formula.
"Even though it doesn?t have the name, ?BCS bowl,? I think it?s going to be a better bowl than most of the BCS bowls," Badgers tackle Joe Thomas told the Wisconsin State Journal. "That?s just the way I think."
The Big Ten can?t complain, either. This will mark the sixth time in the nine-year history of the BCS that the conference has gained the maximum two spots. The next-closest league is the Southeastern Conference with four times, including this year ? Florida plays Ohio State in the championship game and Louisiana State plays Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
Not that those conferences get double the financial reward. In regards to the six major BCS conferences, the first team in gains a $17 million payout to the league, while the payout for a second team is $4.5 million.
Fiesta Bowl-bound Boise State, from a non-BCS conference, will see $9 million go to the Western Athletic Conference. That?s over and above its already guaranteed small slice of the $9 million the BCS sends down to be divvied up by the WAC, Mountain West, Mid-American, Sun Belt and Conference USA.
The BCS moved this year from four games to five, making the championship game separate but still administered by one of the four major bowls. One reason for the expansion was to double the amount of nonguaranteed spots to four, giving more opportunities to teams such as Boise State and deserving at-large teams from the stronger conferences.
But the rule wasn?t changed that limits a conference to two spots overall, though the Big Ten has lobbied for that.
"That takes four votes (from the eight-member BCS committee) and we don?t have four votes," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said yesterday.
As for the intent of the limit, "It?s a system that is attempting to take care of champions, take care of bowls, put the one-two game together, take care of Notre Dame, take care of second-place teams," Delany said.
And as he pointed out, while the Big Ten and Wisconsin might have reason to pout this year, the SEC has four teams in the top 12.
"What would you think about four SEC teams?" he said.

Yep, same here, but I will be pulling for Michigan. (Also agree Pac 10 is overrated.) Any time I get to see that cheshire cat xit-eating grin wiped off Pete Carol's face something good is happening (like that priceless look of his in the UCLA game).

Bucks first, Big 10 second. I am all about maize and blue for the Rose Bowl.

And I am delighted to see 3 Big 10 vs. SEC matchups in the bowls this year. After this bowl season, there will be NO DOUBT which conference is best.
