BCS Insanity

Gators to the Capital One Bowl or Outback Bowl. No conference can have more than 2 teams in BCS bowls and Georgia and LSU have those locked up. So, Mizzou is probably out of BCS contention as well with OU and KU in.

Kansas gets a BCS bid and Mizzou doesn't?

WVU gets a BCS bid too?

Seems unfair.

WVu won the Big East, they get an automatic bid. Kansas is ranked #5 and only has one loss, Mizzou lost by 21 tonight. One or the other won't make it, probably the Tigers.

But Mizzou beat Kansas and won their division.?


I trust Dave and believe you, but it seems like a strange result.

Dave & Ash: How would you rank the top 8 right now?

I'm thinking:

1. Georgia
2. USC
3. LSU
4. Florida
5. Ohio State
6. Oklahoma State
7. Virginia Tech
8. Illinois

The BCS is definitely all screwed up after tonight. Mizzou has 2 losses, don't say Illini, that's the other team competing with Clemson and ASU for the last BCS spot. No telling what the final poll will look like, but I think the bowls might pan out as such...

BCS Bowl - OSU vs. LSU
Rose - USC vs. Illini/UGA
Orange - VT vs. WVU
Fiesta - OU vs. ASU/KU
Sugar - UGA vs. Clemson/KU

My predictin

Ought to be an interesting selection show tomorrow night. Gotta go, getting late on the East Coast.

[b]Oh please...just like a Buckeye fan to want to play a team they think is weaker.

Guess all my prognostications are moot since it was all contingent on a Hawaii loss. Guess I'll have to settle on the Peach Bowl against Auburn...I can live with that, this year anyway.

Yep, Hawaii is taking it's worst beating since the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor! 😉
