Ohio State will take on Florida in the Gator Bowl in a higher bowl than the Buckeyes truly deserved and Boise State returns to the Las Vegas Bowl for the second year in a row,this time taking on Arizona State and lame duck coach Dennis Erickson.
News Flash-the BCS is terrible.
I do not think Oklahoma State would have beaten LSU,but I would have liked to have seen their high powered offense try.
Instead we get another LSU-Alabama game after their first was about as exciting as watching mulch applied to the ground.
I like Nick Saban as a coach,but isn't he the guy that said if you cannot win your division then you shouldn't play for the national title?
This one looks like a less than thrilling matchup,but the BCS does have two interesting games and two that are not interesting at all.
The Rose Bowl looks fun with Wisconsin against Oregon.
Lots of points to be scored and the two just appear to be evenly matched-This one should be fun as should the Fiesta Bowl with Oklahoma State battling Andrew Luck and Stanford.
The Cowboy-Cardinal matchup is also worth your time.
Wish I could say the same for the Sugar and Orange.
The Sugar tapped michigan,who didn't even win their Big Ten division over exciting division titlist Michigan State and then took Virginia Tech of the ZERO quality win season.
What a joke-tell me that about six-ten other teams don't deserve BCS bids over either of these two....
The Orange gives us ACC Champ Clemson,who staggered down the stretch with only a three point win over Wake Forest allowing them to avoid a four game losing streak entering the ACC title game against Virginia Tech,who the Tigers whipped twice on the season against the pathetic Big East and their "champion" West Virginia and their one whole win over a team ranked at the time WVU played them.
This one might set the record for the lowest ratings for a BCS game.
Lower level bowls that might be worth your Tv viewing includes the following.
Alamo Bowl:Baylor vs Washington-Worth watching only to see Robert Griffin III,who if he is available for the Browns and they do not pick,I am doing a post on why the Browns drive me nuts!
Meineke Bowl:Northwestern vs Texas A & M-Could be fun as Pat Fitzgerald always has the Wildcats ready to play against the Aggies,who fired Mike Sherman after Texas A & M lost the lead against any good team they played...
Outback Bowl: Georgia vs Michigan State-two teams that deserved better bowls might hook up in a good one.
Just as an added bonus-Robert Griffin III gets my Heisman vote.
I love Andrew Luck,but does anyone believe Baylor is even .500 without this guy?
Andrew Luck is going to be a Colt,but I can dream for Cleveland to be the destination for Griffin,who has all of the tools a passer needs...
All and all-a pretty uninspiring set of bowls this season.
