Title Game- OSU vs LSU
Orange Bowl- VT vs WVU
Rose Bowl- USC vs Kansas
Sugar Bowl- UGA vs Hawaii

That might be how everything will turn out


That is how the title game should be, yep. God I wish Georgia had made the SEC title game! That ruined everything. Amazing how OSU can sit back for a few weeks and watch everyone in front of them lose and jump to #1 without so much as stepping on a football field.

I think the most entertaining game of the one's you listed is Georgia-Hawaii. Could be like last year's Oklahoma-Boise State.

LOL I just turned to the Hawaii-Washington game and Hawaii is losing 14-0 in the 1st, so we might have to wait to put them in a BCS game.

wow, what a crazy year.

I just noticed you're missing the Fiesta Bowl in there. There are five BCS bowls.

If we would have beaten BC the first time we would be in the NC.

Missouri got shanked, that's the only way I can put it. They should have gotten a BCS bid over Kansas because they beat them and their two losses are both to Oklahoma.

But, it works out for me! I go to the Cotton Bowl every year and this year it's Mizzou-Arkansas. There's gonna be a family rivalry in this one! Very Happy

Missouri did get the shaft in the BCS bowl games this year.
A lot of the bowl games this year will be blowouts.
Joke of a Bowl: Michigan vs Florida
Only interesting bowl IMO is Auburn vs Clemson
I think LSU will blow out OSU

I'm looking forward to Georgia and Hawaii. Another non BCS school with a great offense against an SEC defense. Then Mizzou-Arkansas, of course.

Man, this year was a mess. I don't know what my opinion really is on the bowls, but I'm happy OSU backed into the NC game (just from a Big 10 standpoint). This year was absolutely crazy. Unfortunately, that makes most of the BCS bowls fairly unappealing to me. We'll see how the games turn out, but they don't sound overly exciting to me.

I agree, i just wish Hawai playing in a different Conference, like the Pac-10,or the big 10, that way they would be playing in the National Title game

well, if Hawaii was in a major conference, they would lose a few games so they wouldn't make it to the title game. But I agree.

I would bet all my money that Tim Tebow wins the Heisman this year.
The BCS show did a 30 min. segment on him.
Thats all anyone talks about is Tim Tebow. McFadden is mentioned barely

I guess that's understandable if you look at the stats...

Tebow: 3,132 pass yards, 29 TD's and 6 INT's...838 rush yards and 22 TD's

McFadden: 1,725 rush yards and 15 TD's...164 rec. yards and 1 TD...123 pass yards and 4 TD's

Tebow = 51 TD's
McFadden = 20 TD's


Having said that, I think McFadden has a few things going for him. He was the runner-up last year, and I think there will be people who vote for him this year after not doing so a year ago. This is his last year in college (no way does he stay for another year) and Tebow is only a sophomore, so he'll back next season.

No freshman or sophomore has EVER won the Heisman, and I don't see why Tebow is better than some of the ones who didn't win it before. I am a big Arkansas fan, but I realize that team is a normal or even bad team without McFadden. Next year will be a pretty bad season for the team. Tebow could very well have a better season next year, and if he wins the Heisman this year, it would be hard to not win two Heismans in his career, and he wouldn't belong in that group. Next year can be HIS year, but not this time around. McFadden wins it!

D-MAC FOR HEISMAN!!!

Tebow will definitely win the heisman twice in his college career IMO.
He is only a Sophmore putting up some insane numbers.
I was just saying how nobody really cares about the other players. They all act like they are in love with Tebow.
I think this should be McFadden's year to win it. He earns it IMO

Yeah, that is one thing that ticks me off. We are #3 in the BCS, and they barely even say anything about us.
They talked about the Orange Bowl in the last 30 min. of a 3 hour show (I waited 2 hours for them to say one word about us). Just cause we got killed by LSU, they won't even talk about us.

They'll say something about VT in 2 years when Tyrod is in the Heisman race Very Happy

21 rushing TD's can you say BALLHOG. He has a great o-line and still tries to run it in.

Packers will go 14-2. And lose to the Pats in the playoffs.
