NC: Fl/PSU
Rose: Tx/USC BEST GAME
Orange: ACC/OU
Sugar: BigE/Bama
Fiesta: Boise or Utah/TT or Mo.
Awful lot of B12, but that's the way I see it. However if LSU runs out they could sneak in. Please NOT Buckeyes. Love this time of yr, let's hear some other thoughts. I know everyone has their own choices. NOT who should be there but who will be, based on the rules as we now have them.

Yeah I Do

Just daydreaming, think OU, TX have best chance in B12:think2:. I can see TT losing 2 gms OSU & OU. Too bad about the 3 tm rule, Fiesta could also have, you know who, as they do travel well, and the bowls love the B10. Jeez I hope not!! Or I suppose if Boise & Utah go unbeaten that could happen. But don't think that would sell to the TV people very well. Who knows? Just think a repeat of Horns & Trojans would be a hell of an attraction.

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Ohio St will likely be the other team that gets in over the third Big 12. Each conf can only have 2 so it will likely be OU and Texas and Tech will get screwed.

Looks like we'll have another bunch of shit games this year though minus USC and whoever they play (should be another very good team). The title game could be good also, but the rest are garbage games I wouldn't watch on a normal weekend and probably won't watch come bowl time. I just have no interest in watching any game featuring a team in the Big East or ACC.

i don't see how Penn St gets a title shot even if they are undefeated and their is a 1 loss Big 12 team. I don't think the computer SOS rankings will allow, thankfully so.

Silver...I can see OSU as a possibility. I think they are fully capable of beating both Texas Tech and OU.

You're right of course. It'll be tough, but after watching them IMHO they may have the best running game of all. Isn't that Tx DL awesome? I guess the argument could go on and on SEC saying B12 has no D. And B12 saying "how would you know, except for Fl, you've seen nothing like this all yr?"

I still think there's NO way PSU & Paterno if 12-0 get passed, it's happened too many times before. Not that they deserve it, given the relative strength or non strength of the B10 this yr. I think they'd beat the Tide, but not Fl, or any of the top 4 in the B12. OU, Tx, OSU, TT! The Rose & the NC games as I've stated would be great. BOL to you my friend. Have you heard anything from Coach LT? He's been quiet, I know his better half got hurt. Miss the OLD fart. :toast:

Florida is playing some great football right now. They're going to be tough to handle for here on out. I'm curious to see how they do against a good Bama defense. As for Penn State, I think they are a solid team. But if they lived in the Big 12 South, they would be going through the same things our teams are going through. They would win a few and then get knocked off by somebody because of the tough schedule. So if Penn State does get into the BCS Championship game and a Big 12 team don't, it will always make me wonder what we could have done. I still think OU and Texas are as good or better than anybody in the country on a neutral field.

Obviously the max a conference can have in the BCS is two teams

Both the Big 12 and SEC should have two teams in...

You forgot 1 team, where does Ball St. factor in this? They should win out with the their toughest game left at C. Michigan.

WM and NIU can beat them. Don't think so? Why is Ball St only a 9-point favorite at home vs NIU?

The teams that no one mentions are Utah and Boise if they run the table.

It would seem like such a waste to me if a team like Ball State got in instead of a one loss TCU team, who would literally eat this team alive. In my opinion Ball State isn't even on Tulsa's level. And we saw what happened to Tulsa this past week when they played a team with a pulse.

Winner Thurs. nite MAY get a shot, don't think Boise really belongs there. Just me tho. Fiesta choices should be interesting TCU/Utes vs ? I'm sure they wish ND had beaten Pitt. OSU w/only losses to SC & PSU and the fans they would bring to Phoenix is an awful possibility. Tho I do think they'd beat either of those 2 I mentioned.:think2:
