Official BCS bowl matchups

[govols120]

NCG: LSU-Bama
Sugar: Michigan-VTech (sigh)
Orange: Clemson-WVU
Fiesta: OKST-Stanford
Rose: Wisconsin-Oregon

Sugar and Orange matchups are freaking awful. I hate the BCS.

And you're getting this from where?

 

[TrueOrange]

Would I be wrong if I guessed CBS's projection page?

Damnt southern miss to hawaii bowl. Sorry non bcs

 

[UTK]

The offical announcements will be aired in 9 mins.

 

[govols120]

The official announcements are all over Twitter, step your Internet game up gentlemen.

Can we make this an all bowl thread

If you want to.

TCU to the Sugar Bowl

TCU to the Sugar Bowl

They're projected to finish 18th, so I doubt it. If they do make it though they'll (thankfully) go to the Sugar instead of Michigan.

VT ain't going anywhere...2 blowout losses to Clemson?

Money rules everything around us. It's the sad truth.

Also, you know there's way too many bowls when UCLA will be playing Illinois in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

 

[TrueOrange]

I'd be surprised...I know they were in the top 5 so there was some room to fall...but Ive never seen (or at least don't recall) a one-loss team lose in its conference championship game and still make a BCS bowl as an at large (2001 Tennessee & 2007 Missouri immediately come to mind)

 

[govols120]

As long as they finish in the top 14, they're eligible. Projected to finish 12th, I think.

 

[TrueOrange]

It'd certainly be a first

 

[TrueOrange]

Also, if the twitter stuff's on the mark...ESPN did a horrible job of keeping information secure

 

[govols120]

Also, why are people watching a show featuring Craig James, Mark May, and Robert Smith? Do you people like torture?

 

[TrueOrange]

Bit of a jump for wisc

Point was though that - contractually - they're supposed to by obligation keep all this stuff secret until official announcement


Wow, OSU missed it by .09

Gus Johnson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rece Davis. Hearing him scream "OHHHHHHHHHH! HEART! BREAK! CITY! OKLAHOMA STATE'S LOOKING IN FROM THE OUTSIDE!" at that "reveal" would've been sports television gold.

@Jerkwheatery Chris Driver
Highest ranked team to be INELIGIBLE for BCS at large ever? When your #6 team isn't allowed an at-large, then your system blows.

Aaaaaand this.

 

[TrueOrange]

Aaaaaand this.

Texas was #6 in 2003 and was left out...Tennessee was 8 that year as well

 

[govols120]

But the fact they're not allowed to play in a BCS bowl because you can only have two from one conference is garbage.

Also:

@IDS_BroncoBeat Bronco Beat
This is the fourth time that Boise State has finished in the BCS Top 10 and not been invited to a BCS game

Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl is a total sham.

 

[govols120]

Virginia Tech is living proof that you can literally beat nobody (their best win is over #45 Georgia Tech) and it's good enough for voters.
