In 2006 we were on the verge of going before USC crapped the bed. I was lining up tickets and travel arrangements. I was depressed when we got moved to the Sugar bowl. We did thump ND good. That was fun to watch.

I agree a Rose Bowl game would be so cool!

At the end of the season, it looked like the BCSCG would be a rematch between Michigan and tOSU, since many people considered them the two best teams in the country. UF would play in the Sugar Bowl and thus LSU was a cinch for the Rose Bowl.

Cool heads prevailed and the AP voters decided there was no reason for the Buckeyes to have to beat Michigan twice in a season, so Florida got the bid to the BCSCG against Ohio State, Michigan got the Rose Bowl and LSU was sent as the SEC rep to the Sugar Bowl.
