Nobody has mentioned Ole Miss-Texas Tech…I think that will be a game with a lot of offense as well.

Anyone still want to make fun of me for â€œpulling shit out of my ass?â€ OSU in a BCS games = satisfied BCS execs.

Did anyone really think they weren’t going to make a BCS bowl?

Doesn’t mean they deserve it.

Ball State and Tulsa will feature a ton of Offense. Plus both teams are coming of TERRIBLE performances in Conference Title games and should have an edge to them.

I laugh out loud at those that thought I was blowing smoke regarding an obvious advantage for a bowl game taking Ohio State over Boise State. I’m not saying that’s necessarily the right way to go (OSU has no real impressive wins to speak of this year, but either does BSU – who’s SOS is one of the worst in all of college football).

I think Michigan State could pull an upset over a very apathetic UGA team.

I’m sorry, Georgia Michigan State is not a good game. Neither team beat anybody all year, just coasted through soft schedules to good records, then got blown out when they did play good teams.

Also, you did not mention Boise v OU. That would have never ever in a hundred million years happened under the old system. One of the best games and endings I’ve seen.

forgot about that one. good call.

There are some nice games this year. The Boise State-TCU game should be a decent watch and I think Michigan State could pull an upset over a very apathetic UGA team. Moreno and Stafford will have both feet out of the door to the NFL and UGA will be uber-dissapointed to play in a non-BCS bowl. One thing that is so good about bowl games is that it gives the teams an extra month of practice to get the young guys some reps. There are, however, some terrible games (as usual) which is something that needs to end. One good thing about this shitty economy is that hopefully some awful bowl games will fold.

when lsu beat oklahoma…

You mean the year that there was a split championship?

However, you listed a few great games as examples of why the BCS is good, but you neglected all the totally shitty games it created. Not to mention that great games could have been created under an older system (or not).

I was going to say basically exactly that. It’s impossible to say that the BCS games that have been created are any better or worse than the games that would have been played anyway.

i’d laugh my arse off if joepa and penn state beat usc in their own house. Jimmy

Same here.

re: Second post

I don’t want to get into a BCS good/bad arguement. That wasn’t my point. I was steering it towards why New Year’s games have gone by the wayside. However, you listed a few great games as examples of why the BCS is good, but you neglected all the totally shitty games it created. Not to mention that great games could have been created under an older system (or not). Just throwing thoughts out there. Your examples are spot on. I just don’t believe they invalidate the alternative.

Also, you did not mention Boise v OU. That would have never ever in a hundred million years happened under the old system. One of the best games and endings I’ve seen.
