4 BCS games, 4 upsets.

The BCS is fun this year. Great games, when on paper they didn't look all that appealing. But with 4 upsets how can this not be fun?

You know what this means? Watch out FSU. Auburn magic could keep rolling....how crazy if all BCS games end up upsets?

I have a feeling the NCG is going to be a thriller.

BCS is going out with a bang

Maybe, but I think Auburns lack of a passing game is going to be what does them in. FSU already destroyed Clemson who had a very similar, but better offense.

Clemson over Ohio State wasn't a huge upset seeing as it is a 3 point spread.

Stanford was only a touchdown favorite.

The other two were huge though. nobody would seriously guess that Bama would lose two straight games and almost nobody (myself included) gave UCF a chance against Baylor. And Both UCF and Oklahoma won by two scores.

That's why they play the game instead of letting the line dictate who will win.

What a crazy end to the BCS, and not over yet.

They will eventually need a 8 team playoff.

I understand. I heard this year that Michigan was going to blowout Michigan State. Then it was Nebraska, then it was Ohio State, then it was Stanford. Some people even said Minnesota was going to beat us :wtf:

I am very happy that Oklahoma won. Ever since Saban ran off before the bowl game, I have disliked him and any team that he was a part of.

Anyone really consider MSU the "underdog" in that game?

Most people in the Bowl Mania picked Stanford. Most experts picked Stanford. Most people on the boards picked Stanford. Vegas picked Stanford. I would say that the majority thought that Stanford was going to win.

I didnt ask that. I asked of us here: did anyone consider them an "underdog?"

I certainly didn't. I don't think any of us would look at that match up and say: "that team right there is an underdog in that game."

Well either a team is the favorite or they are the underdog. If everyone is saying that Stanford is going to win and most were saying by multiple scores, then yeah, MSU was an underdog.

I thought that both teams were very similar but that Stanford does everything slightly better on offense. So yes I thought Stanford was the favorite in the game. Which would make Michigan State the underdog. Not by a lot of points but an underdog none the less.

The entire SEC was seriously over rated this year. They still have the best conference but not by much.

So if my math is right that's still 4 upsets.

Bama has lost their last 2 games 6 times in the last 13 years, not really that unusual
