BCS title game - Oregon vs Boise
Sugar - Auburn vs Ohio State
Orange - Va Tech vs TCU
Fiesta - Ok State vs West Va
Rose - Wisconsin vs Stanford

LSU to the Outback, Bama to Cap One, Akry to Cotton.

Dude is assuming that Bama beats Auburn and Arky beats LSU. Says if LSU beats Arky, then LSU to the Orange.

I wish we could go to the cotton bowl instead of the Capital one bowl.

He is also assuming the Orange Bowl will take a higher ranked team instead of one that will bring way more fans, sell more tickets get higher TV rankings.

Only 1 non AQ is guaranteed a spot, in his scenario, that would be Boise. TCU is a really good team, but Alabama or LSU would bring way more fans and the Orange Bowl knows it. Pretty unlikely there is only 1 SEC team in a BCS bowl.

That'd be something if Ohio St. played Auburn.

Cameron Newton is the athlete and leader we all thought Terrelle Pryor was going to be. (He still has one more year)

what's a good boise message board? I checked our their rivals and scout boards and they both suck balls. Is there one with a little more traffic?

Culled from wiki, the following are the SEC bowl tie-ins:
quote:


Southeastern Conference

The Southeastern Conference has nine bowl tie-ins.[12]

#1 Bowl Championship Series. The winner of the SEC Championship Game gains an automatic berth to a BCS bowl game, preferentially the Allstate Sugar Bowl.

#2 The Capital One Bowl must select the team with the best overall record among non-BCS playing SEC teams, or a team within one game of the best record.

#3-4 The Cotton Bowl Classic has first pick of remaining teams from the Western Division, and the Outback Bowl typically picks a remaining team from the Eastern Division.

#5 The Chick-fil-A Bowl selects after those two
bowls.

#6 The Gator Bowl receives the sixth pick.

#7-8 The Music City Bowl and the Liberty Bowl work with the SEC office to determine the seventh and eighth picks.

#9 The BBVA Compass Bowl receives the ninth choice of SEC teams. In years where the SEC does not have nine bowl eligible teams, the BBVA Compass Bowl will select from the Sun Belt Conference instead.

I like Boise and respect the job they have done, coming frm nowhere. In one game they could beat anybody. Ovewr 12 games is irrelevant unless you want the SEC to take them in.

I'm a Boise fan AND a BCS hater.

I'd love to beat War Illegal in the title game, but I'd love even more for Boise to shut up the Ducks' obnoxious fanbase once and for all. They're still making excuses for their two straight losses to Boise.

Technically it's a blog, but One Bronco Nation Under God is a great site. Just don't come in and troll or repeat the same tired arguments about SOS and "just join a real conference," because you will be owned on arrival.

i'll never understand how you can hate a system that has created the myth surrounding your football team

well a dirty fricking hit that should have led to ejection taking out their starting QB is legit

UO only has themselves to blame for the horrible offensive gameplan/playcalling and OL play to start last year

Say what?

The BCS is the only reason you're even being considered.

We would rack up 300 yards rushing and laugh about it. Then we'd pass the ball over that secondary and laugh some more.

Boise would get some points, but we've played a more prolific offense already this season and did fine enough.
