BCS Bowl Matchups and opinions
So I lost $5 today b/c I bet Mcat that it would be UT vs OU instead of UF vs OU in the nat'l title game (ship the 20:1 odds tho). I don't think my cause was aided by all the announcers saying during the Big 12 title game that UF was assured getting in, they in no way were a lock to get in as I still feel the best 2 teams in the nation are Texas, OU. Anyways, not the point:
Here are the matchups
Rose Bowl: PSU vs USC
--shitty game
Orange Bowl: Cincy vs VaTech
--Shouldn't this be like the Motor City Bowl?
Sugar Bowl: Utah vs Bama
--Thankfully the BCS buster doesn't get Cincy/VaTech and will have to make up for last year's Hawaii/UGA disaster.
Fiest: Texas vs Ohio State
--Once again OSU gets in on their name and $$$$
Nat'l championship: UF vs OU
--whatevs, will be a sick sick game
Observations:
1. THE LIMIT ON CONFERENCES GETTING 2 TEAMS IN IS RIDICULOUS
--Texas Tech deserves to be in a BCS game over Ohio State, not even close here, tell me how a 2-loss Big Ten team gets in over a 1-loss Big 12 South team. IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT.
2. Ohio State gets in over Boise State even though Boise out-ranks them because Ohio State fans travel better. This game will not be close, do not tune in, Texas will play with a chip on their shoulder and win by 20+.
3. USC vs Penn State is so laughable, would LOVE to see USC vs Texas, but no, tradition overrides common sense here. I don't see how Penn State can compete here, literally in USC's backyard.
4. The Big East and ACC do not deserve automatic bids. VaTech is meh and Cincy almost lost last night to a 7-6 Hawaii team.
5. Utah vs Bama could be the most competitive game other than the nat'l title game, however, it won't be the prettiest game to watch.
Alright, give me your thoughts
