***College Football 2012 Bowl Thread***

[tk13]

The CFB Bowl selections are tonight, 8:30 on ESPN.

Reason I started this thread... New York Times' Pete Thamel is reporting that a source tells him Northern Illinois slipped into the top 16 and will play in the Orange Bowl against Florida State. ESPN's BCS guru Brad Edwards says he thinks NIU is in too.

Either way, bowl selections are starting to leak this afternoon.

Bill Snyder doesn't have a stellar record in games where both teams have extra time to prepare.

I'm sure the OB is thrilled about this.
Nothing against NI but that's not a game I'm remotely interested in watching. Their inclusion is a joke. They beat no one of substance and in fact lost to a 4 win Big Ten also ran (Iowa). I caught some that MAC CCG and to put it bluntly they stink.

Hmm. ****s Oklahoma. ****s the Orange Bowl scumbags. I LIKE IT!

What a joke.

Imagine this...

#1 Notre Dame vs #8 Stanford -- the rematch
#2 Alabama vs #7 LSU -- uh, the rematch
#3 Georgia vs #6 Kansas State
#4 Florida vs #5 Oregon

Probably another all-SEC NC game, but head and shoulders above this crap.

8 teams is too many. 4 is plenty to determine a legit NC. #5 ranked team doesn't usually have much of a gripe relatively speaking.

#1 ND vs #4 Ore
#2 Ala vs #3 Fla

The best team in the country is one of those 4. Probably #2 or #3.

#5 got bombed by an also ran and dutifully exposed relatively speaking.

Not that we need to worry about that. Don't forget to set your DVR for what should be an epic OB! Not to mention what it does to the Sugar Bowl, swapping out what would be Fla/OU for Fla/Louisville <--------zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

The BCS is a laughingstock.

Defense is not my main concern. My concern is playing the ball control offense that will limit UO's high powered offense's opportunities.

We got away from that for a few games, and it eventually cost us.

Not really, we gave the Big 12 millions with our generous loss to Iowa St.

Yeah, the Liberty bowl payout is going to be a real financial windfall.

I feel really bad.

It seems like we ask this every week of every season but, HTF does Texas continue to be ranked in the BCS?
