Shame about the Orange/Sugar bowl matchups. I'd much rather see B1G vs SEC.

Cool, now I'll get to bump all of those ridiculous "Clemson would destroy Ohio State on a neutral field" posts from earlier in the season.

If you guys lose to an ACC team that isn't FSU in football, I swear to god...

Rose Bowl is the only great BCS matchup. Imo, we'll be in for an underwhelming bowl season after a pretty hectic regular season

All or nothing again.

 

[yeodonie]

Works for me

All or nothing again.

The team that is getting robbed this year is South Carolina who beat Clemson and UCF

Yahoo sports:
The Sugar will likely get to
choose among Oklahoma, Oklahoma State or
Oregon. Considering the results of Bedlam, the
Sooner fans’ willingness to travel and the
Sugar’s future tie-in as an SEC vs. Big 12 game,
it looks like Oklahoma will land here

The team that is getting jobbed in here is South Carolina who beat Clemson and UCF

I know that. Its just like 2007 for the Tigers again.

Well Clemson is a good passing team and OSU is horrible in he secondary. But Clemson is horrible at defense especially the run. Should be an entertaining game.

 

[Clayton]

We need some Pac12 homers in here. Only 1 team from the 2nd best conference seems like a failure.

I think theres a 2 team limit from a conference for BCS bowls. So no one is getting robbed, it's just part of the system.

No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings.

Obviously. Its a terrible system. Vegas is going to have high spreads on a lot of bowl games

It has been for nearly every year of its existence.

Really? You lost to Penn State

Still wont be as bad as losing to TCU in the Rose bowl

True. I just have a feeling that a lot of our BowlMania predictions are going to be similar because there will be a lot of teams who will be 7pt+ favorites throughout the Bowl landscape.

This might also lead to one or two classic upsets so maybe itll work out for the best
