Hate to say it, but Alabama IMO was slightly overated this year. I Think Florida proved it in SEC championship game. Congrats to Utah

Say What?? I forgot about the game. Better go have a look see.

No. 7 Utah rolls over No. 4 Alabama 31-17

It wasn't as close as the score. The Tide was never in the lead.

Hey,
You all have it all wrong, the best bowel to watch is the one my alma matter (Univ. Md.) is in the Humanitarian Bowl. :embarrest: Ha-Ha (aka Toilet Bowl???). I'm kind of upset that they didn't do better this year but, Oh Well. You need to lighten up and laugh sometimes. :laugh: I feel really sorry for them playing in Boise, Id. in miserable conditions. Snow everyday this week and next in very cold conditions.The only team that I want to see win are ACC teams. The other conferences are alright but I'm a biased Terp Fan Terp Club member for life.

My man Sam Bradford won the Heisman trophy! All three candidates were exceptional, but being an OU fan I was glad he won.

Finally a useful use for politics!

The only thing is: Propose a solution instead of just complaining about it.

--------------------

Lawmaker Proposes Bill to End BCS System

The bill _ being co-sponsored by Reps. Bobby Rush, an Illinois Democrat, and Michael McCaul, a Texas Republican _ "will prohibit the marketing, promotion, and advertising of a postseason game as a 'national championship' football game, unless it is the result of a playoff system. Violations of the prohibition will be treated as violations of the Federal Trade Commission Act as an unfair or deceptive act or practice.

Yeah, I think everyone wanted to see Texas versus Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. I guess one of the second agendas for the selection committees is not to favor the non-title bowls by giving any one of them the ability to make an argument for the national championship. So, Texas and Alabama (arguably #3 and #4 or #2a vs. #2c) must have been forbidden in a matchup even though that would've been a great game as well. Oh well, who loses? The college football fan loses. Oh, and Ohio State gets to go BCS bowling and Texas Tech doesn't -- yeah, Texas Tech got my vote in the ESPN poll.

 

[Bullitt]

Been watching the Bowl Selection show on ESPN. How about that, somebody found a bowl game for Notre Dame in Hawaii.

I liked Kirk Herbstreit's reaction to the Utah selection for the Sugar Bowl. Him and Craig James are anti any non BCS conference and rightfully so. They both get so aggravated whenever a non BCS or even Big 10 team is mentioned with teams like Texas, Oklahoma and Florida.

Minnow, ESPN had an online vote for what team got the shaft BCS wise this season. The choices were Texas, Texas Tech, and Boise State. It's just too bad it couldn't have been Texas instead of Missouri. I think Tech is going to beat Ole Miss in the Cotton Bowl. I am excited for the National Championship game this year. I didn't know Oklahoma scored the most points in a season ever this year. Impressive. Florida couldn't have been too far behind.

4 Weeks ago I'd have said Harrell for Heisman, but he's getting alot of negative press and besides, I'd say Bradford and Tebow are making a run. This quarterback class is going to be phenomenal for the draft this year.

Lot's to look forward to in the coming weeks. I'm already marking my calender and checking my schedule.

Here's a link to the bowl games this year:

Texas Tech got jobbed big time. They didn't get a BCS bowl and they were ranked higher than Ohio State they had the same record and played in a tougher conference...

Just my opinion...

Texas Tech and Utah should've been playing in the Fiesta Bowl and Ohio State should've played in the Cotton.

Texas and Alabama should've been playing in the Sugar Bowl.

The rest looks pretty good to me.

Florida and Oklahoma looks to be a great matchup.

The Heisman vote is gonna be close this year.
