BCS Race
 

Any thoughts on who you would like to see in the championship game? I think Auburn is a fraud...they will get beat by Bama or in the SEC championship game. Both TCU and Boise State look super good. I can't decide who deserves it more. Would love to see them play each other. And of course my Ducks looked like shit last week and got exposed. I just hope they don't lose confidence and Chip stops going for it on 4th down all the time.

college football = yawn.

I don't know why I hate it and I love football so much.

Re: BCS Race
 

I'd like to see Iowa...but they screwed the pooch too many times this year so I'll have to wait yet another year

I think Oregon vs. TCU is where I'm leaning at the moment

Re: BCS Race
 

Boise and TCU played last year but Auburn v. Oregon I guess

Re: BCS Race
 

I dont have a big college team, but I've always kind of pulled for Notre Dame and Oregon. For some reason when Joey Harrington was at Oregon, I've been a fan of them, so I'm pulling for them.

I always thought Auburn got screwed in Campbells year, so I want to see the big boys Oregon vs Auburn playing for the title.... with Oregon winning.

But if TCU or Boise St sneaks in, I wouldnt be upset at all. I'd like to see a mid major make it just so we can find out if the mid majors belong in the title games or not.

Re: BCS Race
 

i would have loved it if Butler had beat Duke for the basketball title.

Re: BCS Race
 

A few weeks ago I would have said Auburn and Oregon for sure. Now I'm not so sure about Auburn. In the end this whole Cam Newton scandal may really bite their season in the ass.

It would be kind of cool to see TCU or Boise in the big one. I think Oregon is in it for sure, especially because the PAC 10 doesn't have a championship game. IMO if the BCS is going to stay in existence, they should mandate championship games for all 6 conferences.

Re: BCS Race
 

The two best teams, I think, are Boise and Wisconsin. So that's the matchup I'd like to see.

It's going to be Boise and Oregon though. The Ducks aren't going to lose.

Re: BCS Race
 

Wisconsin??? Really Tripp??

Re: BCS Race
 

Do I have a desire to see any specific teams win a contrived championship? Not really.

Re: BCS Race
 

Most underrated team is Standford...they are better than the Badgers and they are going to get screwed.

Screwed out of what exactly??

Re: BCS Race
 

Boise State vs. Oregon is my call.

Standford? :cheeky-sm

Re: BCS Race
 

How incredible would it be to see a playoff with Oregon, Auburn, LSU, Wisconsin, Boise, Standford, TCU, Ohio St? I think Wisconsin vs Oregon are the two best teams now with Auburn and Standford close behind those two.......

Re: BCS Race
 

Who is Standford???? And what makes Wisconsin the 2nd best in your eyes

lol...Stanford. I just think coming down the stretch Wisconsin is playing dominating football right now...offense is rolling. Defensively, they have challenges, but sh*t I dont see any great defensive teams in the top ten. But hey, its all speculation cause we cant get a playoff or a true national champion.

Completely out of touch...Would have like at least follow up questions if he thought TCU or Boise State could be every team in the Big 10...because they could. But that what i come to expect, dont ask the tough questions...dont step on toes. I hate when these "traditionalist" lump all the smaller teams and just say they dont deserve it, when they dont know the talent on the team or coach staff. Because if the answer is yes, then there is no excuse not to play if they can compete. Right? Thats the right message to send to the student-athelete he mentions.
His comments come off as money-grubbing prick as well...but hey thats the status quo in this country. To say the bowl system works? please. Also would have like a question of why the Big 10 doesnt have a championship game, too p*ssy i guess will remain the answer, cause he know it greatly lessens the big 10 chance to go to the national game.

Because they are 1 team short of having a championship game. You need 12 for a Championship game. I believe that it is a rule imposed by the NCAA, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yes that is the rule. And no great defenses in the top 10? TCU, LSU to name a couple.

Re: BCS Race
 

Look guys!

If you look really quickly you can see Boise State's BCS title hopes getting flushed down the proverbial toilet thanks to Nevada!

Whoops! Too late! Their title hopes have just been flushed down, probably never to return to light, at least not until they join a respectable conference.

Re: BCS Race
 

Here's a thought...maybe Standford is Stanford? You know, the team that has a tree as their mascot.

I was kinda rooting against them because I thought they were the only team that knows how Oregon plays and could beat them. BSU is elite football program and they would dominate the Pac-10 if they joined but I guess they are comfortable with being a football only school.

The Badgers have a great running game but I don't think they can stop that Stanford offense or put up points on their defense and keep up. There was talking of Stanford not going to a BCS bowl game because the Ducks are playing in the national championship game. They said the Rose Bowl is not obligated to choose a Pac-10 school if one is playing in another BCS bowl game.

Re: BCS Race
 

True but with Boise losing Stanford is going to a BCS game

I was actually rooting for them, even though they beat VT to start the season because I do want to see a team from a non-automatic qualifier conference make the BCS championship game, but even to have the slightest shot at doing that they had to win all of their games, which they didn't do. I think if they did join a better conference they'd definitely have a shot but I'm not too concerned about it, I'd rather see the D1 switch to a playoff format instead.

And with VT about to beat Virginia to become the first team since Florida State to sweep the ACC idc about Boise State. I'm just disappointed VT had to lose to JMU, that really put a damper to start the season.
