@LSUBillMartin: Two top 14 ranked teams in Chick-fil-A Bowl, that's something these three BCS Bowls do not have -- Rose, Sugar, Orange. Great matchup in ATL

All you need to do is strip the Big East slot, do away with the 2 teams from one conference max and make it top 10 instead of top 16 for non-aq conferences and things would be much better.

Wow a "top 14" matchup. Has a great ring to it.

That would make it:

BCS - same
Rose - same
Fiesta - same
Sugar - Florida vs. Oklahoma
Orange - Florida St. vs. UGA/LSU/Texas AM/USCw

Right, and that eliminates the two crappy games people are upset about (Florida v Louisville; Florida State v N Illinois).

You'd actually have 5 decent games for once.

I disagree. The Sugar would take LSU/A&M over Florida.

Sugar -> LSU v OU - 2003 rematch back in nola
Orange -> UF v. FSU - rematch & battle of the former assistants?

What's dumb? If there were no limits on conference bids, Sugar would jump on the chance to take one of those two.

The top ranked teams should all make it to the biggest bowls. conferences be damned. if 8 teams from the SEC make it, so be it.

Solid tweet. We'll warm up to this bowl eventually.

Hard because we were one play from the national championship game but our fault for losing.
