So which games are you guys looking forward to? I think the BCS games, for the most part, are pretty uninteresting. Rose Bowl could be good, and the championship game. Fiesta maybe if OSU shows up big (which I think they will). But Orange and Sugar dont really excite me at all. Other bowls that interest me is Boise St vs TCU, MSU vs Georgia could be a good game, not much else jumps out at me after an initial look. Rivals.com College Football - 2008-09 Bowl Schedule/Results
The Matchup: USC vs. Penn State The Matchup: Pittsburgh vs. Oregon State The Matchup: Virginia Tech vs. Cincinnati The Matchup: North Carolina vs. West Virginia The Matchup: Ohio State vs. Texas The Matchup: Florida vs. Oklahoma The Matchup: Georgia Tech vs. LSU The Matchup: Ole Miss vs. Texas Tech The Matchup: TCU vs. Boise State Those interest me.
Ohio St matches up well with Texas. The key to victory is Beanie Wells if he can find success against the Longhorn defense then he should pile on the yards. I also think Colt McCoy is going to have a mediocre game. I wonder how motivated this Buckeye team will be.
U$C vs. Penn St. ought to be interesting. I might actually go to that one instead of the usual scalping.
Because Notre Dame is so much less snobby than USC The biggest travesty, and largely ignored at that, is Ohio State getting into a BCS bowl over Texas Tech. If you want to argue Boise State is a small school with an easy schedule, fine. There is no measurement, however, that could possibly put Ohio State over Texas Tech. Record - TT Strength of Schedule- TT Big Wins- TT (Texas and OK State vs... Northwestern?) The storyline would be tremendous. Texas seeks revenge on the team that killed their National Title hopes. And for the record, I am not a Texas Tech fan. I am just tired of watching Ohio State transform into the new Notre Dame. Always getting into bowl games they have no business being in, and then subsequently getting the snot kicked out of them. I wonder how long it will be before Ohio State leaves the Big Ten and starts negotiating its own TV rights.
In any case the BCS does not allow more than 2 teams from a conference in the BCS. I do agree Tech should be picked of Ohio St pitting Bama vs Texas and Tech vs Utah. Now in any case you will be eating crow Jan 6th.
I live surrounded by bandwagon USC fans, and a healthy rivalry by virtue of having friends who went to that unfortunate institution. Not sure about ND fans, but I have a feeling by and large they're a less obnoxious group given we dont have much to talk about As for TT, I believe there is a rule where only 2 teams from any conference can get BCS bowl births. Meaning, TT wasnt eligible for a BCS bowl by virtue of Texas and OU already getting bids. I believe Wisconsin got screwed by this rule a few years back If I'm not mistaken. As to your final shot at ND. Believe me plenty of ND fans know they get bowl games they dont deserve, but they dont rank themself, and they dont control the business decisions made by bowl committees.
Texas Tech v.s. Ole Miss is what I can't wait to see. Ole Miss is going to come out swinging and have the fire power to do it. They have have the 3rd best offense in the SEC. I can't wait to see this game. It could show us an early glimpse on the National title game
Anyone putting down money on the bowls?

I'm interested in Florida/Oklahoma, Ole Miss/Texas Tech, Penn State/USC, Boise State/TCU, Ohio State/Texas, and how could I forget... Iowa/South Carolina.
Not sure Texas Tech v. Ole Miss will get ugly. It could, no doubt about it, but Ole Miss has a very good front four that I wouldn't be surprised if it got to Harrell a couple times. Peria Jerry is very good as well as Greg Hardy.
No, there your average run of the mill team Texas Tech is a top 10 BCS team with one loss.....ofcorse I think Tech will have no problem. Whats the spread?
Well your taking a Top BCS caliber team and I am taking a low down SEC team that no ones ever heard of. How many points you wanna give me?
Ill trust Vegas..... Loser has to have a sig. Yours will be along the lines of admitting the SEC is not the best conference in cfb.(kinda sad u need a sig to admidt it) but I will take a SEC is the greatest and all the kids are lightning fast and Tim Tebow will win 15 Super bowls sig. deal?
The key to that game, IMO, is if Tech comes out to show the Nation they were under appreciated. OR if they come out and are ho hum bc they don't care about this bowl. BC I think Ole Miss is going to come to play. If Tech does not take them serious, Miss will take them.
I think he's 'upset' at the fact that fellow Buckeyes aren't agreeing lol. My guess is that he was expecting you to back him up on his claim of Ole Miss not beating TT.
