Not that I am a big fan of this but what about moving the game to NYC....i.e. new jets stadium? Would still be a "home" game for UCONN and would fit a lot more fans. Better that UM paying 2M to move the game back to Ann Arbor

I posed this question to some co-workers last week. it was pretty mixed. I'd have to say texas this year, just because on how the season finished. If it was Florida instead of Alabama, I probably would have said the gators. A win over a SEC team would be great :) Just think it would...

Actually I have a question to pose. For the sake of discussion, I'd like to keep the trash talk out please :) Question: With OSU's recent defeats in major games over the last two years, what victory would better suite the university to restoring their image. A victory over a Texas team that...

After Mack Brown convinced some of his conference voters to deliberately move Cal down in the polls to get Texas into the BCS, I'd be a little pissed off with the Holiday bowl. That's the reason the final coaches poll is public now....... On another note, didn't CAL get their butt beat...

I read the rules again and your right. Its just the replacement picks that have bowl conf ties. After that, its free game. There is a cause towards the bottom about changing bowl matchups in the "best interest of the bowls and FOX" but not a requirement.

From the BCS website: A bowl choosing a replacement team may not select any of the following: A. A team in the NCG; B. The host team for another BCS Bowl; C. When two bowls lose host teams, then the bowl losing the number one team may not select a replacement team from the same...

I think the message is to the voters :) Forget Dallas, Remember KC :) If you listened closely to Brent last night, he kept on reminding viewers on how you can leave out of the NC an offense as dominant as OU. A close B12 title game, maybe Texas can jump back in. A blowout, scoring...

Bowl reps can made decisions that are in the best interest of the bowls at times, excluding bowl ties.... that is what Boise and Ball state should have done. Plus, if different to offer a game on your home field than one in Detroit. Its closure for Ball state fans to travel, but if your...

USC's home is at the LA coliesum, not the Rose Bowl (UCLA's home)

Totally agree. Conferences rooting for their members in OOC or bowls games are totally common. I pull for the B10 all the time. I just don't wany to see Michigan win the NC, even if their win in someway helps the image of the B10. Thats just me :) Are there any other SEC fans or...

Correction made :) I see where you are going.....and tOSu will have to take the heat for performances on the big stage. Shouldn't mean the entire B10 should take the heat for it.....just tOSU. The SEC and B10 match up at least 2 times in the bowl season. IF a B10 team wins that game...

Can't speak for all B10 fans, but I'd root for a B10 team in the title game.......unless it was Michigan!! Conf pride or not, I draw a line there :) Are you telling me that there aren't some BAMA fans out there that aren't still smiling about Auburn in 03 :) The other point to make...

I don't think that when the AP was apart of the BCS rankings that their voters weren't "independent" minded. Was there a time from '98 to '04 when the AP voters "manipulated" their voting to move a team in the title game? The only time I can recall is with the coaches poll in 2004...

Ok....but the AP basically told the BCS that they wanted no part of the process :) The whole 2003 issue was a big deal because both AP AND coaches polls had USC #1. The AP didn't think that their hands should be forced, like the coaches, after the bowls. Whether they wanted to or not...

A split title just doesn't have that much pull now that the AP pulled out of the BCS rankings. I think that it was more rebellious and respected when it still based its champion on its final polll, despite the BCS. When they decided to pull out of the BCS, they loss the credibility to...

The BCS has no H2H criteria, its just the top 2 ranked teams. Now.....If texas and texas tech finished tied for 2nd in the final BCSrankings, then there is a H2H tiebreaker that would give the bid to Tech in the BS rules.

I understand your point about not winning your conference but I do think this would be one circumstance where Texas would be able to side in the minds of the voters because the tiebreaker senerio. If winning your conference is a must in your eyes and others, that's fine. So if OU...

Just to note that the Sugar doesn't HAVE to take the SEC runner-up, but we all know they will :)

Jump Texas in the BCS poll....that is it! Ou or Mizzu will get a bid..... Texas as a top 4 team will automatically get one too. No conference can have more than 2 teams in the BCS. So.....Jump Texas :)

Loser is going to the Sugar bowl.....it is the natural spot for the SEC. With the SEC champ more that likely in the NC title game, sugar will get a top 2 pick for their bowl. I'm betting its either Bama or UF :)

....But should they? Texas's whole argument over the B12 south tiebreaker was that they beat OU head to head so they should go (even though it was a 3way tie with Txtech). So if OU loses, shouldn't Texas stick to their same standards and realize that Texas tech should go ahead of them based...

USC loses to UCLA and they are out of the BCS IMO. How many USC fans are going to travel after the loss?

Mike Leach to Washington is not a bad move. UW is putting a lot of money into their program (facilities). The NW may not be a hot bed for recruits but UW has always been able to get guys from CA. Plus, he would have some TX roots now to be able to pull some guys out of state. Outside of...

So using this argument, If OU wins it all and Texas loses their bowl game then the BCS got it right?

They are basically putting the MVC, WAC, Sun Belt and MAC into one large conference and saying we'll take your top team (based off of A and B) What sucks is that the BCS puts ND in a separate category and give them a bid if they are top 8. Remember that the ND rule goes into effect BEFORE...
