[Tournament] 2007 College Football

Yeah, they still need ASU to lose since ASU would win outright, and they need Oregon to win, because if Oregon State is tied at the top, then USC wins on the tiebreakers.

And the chances that ASU and USC will lose and Oregon will find some way to win are pretty much slim and none, thank God. UCLA would probably be the worst team the Pac-10 has ever sent to the Rose Bowl.

Most amazing jew boots

Here are your matchups:

If Hawaii Wins:

NCG: OSU vs. Georgia
Rose: USC vs. Illinois
Orange: Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Kansas
Sugar: LSU vs. Hawaii

If Hawaii Loses:

Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Arizona State
Sugar: LSU vs. Kansas

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

What does it say about the Big Ten when a team that couldn't even qualify for it's conference championship beats the Big Ten champion by 3 touchdowns?

YES.

It's no Stanford, but it's pretty bad. Illinois does not deserve to go to a BCS bowl and they only are because the Rose Bowl is fucking insane.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh, come now. If Pat White doesn't get injured, WVU wins in a walk.


I don't understand why they think there's more money in a bowl system than a playoff. A college football playoff would be insane. It would be as big as the Super Bowl.

Anyway, my final picks:

NCG: OSU vs. Georgia
Rose: USC vs. Illinois
Orange: Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Kansas
Sugar: LSU vs. Hawaii

If LSU moves to #2 like a lot of people are saying might happen, Sugar replaces them with Georgia. Sports Illustrated flipped West Virginia and Kansas, but I don't see the Orange Bowl taking the Jayhawks.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Before he got injured? I dunno, Arizona/ASU was on at that point.

Additional Spam:
I think LSU wins going away, by like 24.

Line starts at -6.

How ya doing, buddy?

1) Ohio State
8) Hawaii

4) Georgia
5) Virginia Tech

3) Oklahoma
6) USC

2) LSU
7) West Virginia


Yambo. Don't tell me that wouldn't be the most successful 3 weeks in the history of sports.

How ya doing, buddy?

But that's the problem. We need, like 80% of people on ESPN.com need a national champion. And the system you are saying we should go back to didn't accomplish that. This system doesn't accomplish that.

There is no bigger sport in the world that doesn't crown its champion through a playoff. Hell, I can't think of a single head-to-head sport that doesn't do playoffs, except maybe Chess.

Just because it is ingrained doesn't mean the people who want the bowls aren't morons.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There isn't a single game there I wouldn't watch, either.

Will I watch Georgia/Hawaii this year? Probably, but I'm not going to go out of my way. I watched the 2nd half of Boise State/Oklahoma last year, but really only because I had nothing better to do. I'm glad I did, but chances are it turns out more like Utah/Pittsburgh. Two teams no one cares about and one blowing the shit out of the other. But I missed the Rose Bowl last year...a friend of mine was in town and we went for a walk with my dogs.

But I would watch all seven games in a playoff -- I would clear my schedule.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, the two games that I thought might be two of the worst, Rose and Sugar, were.

What a shitty ass day of New Year's football.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Lots of people do, but it won't be.

5 BCS bowls, 4 routs. Worst bowl season ever.

I believe the BCS contracts are renewed every 4 years, but the Rose Bowl has the Pac-10 and Big Ten (and ABC) wrapped up through 2014.
