Man Boise State got jipped. I still think they can beat any of the top teams. Now they are playing Utah...man I think Boise will crush them.

Bama vs MSU....eh. Texas A&M vs LSU....eh...i'm not really feeling any of these matchups.

Glad we got the Gator Bowl. It was either that or Insight. Didn't expect it to be against Miss St. though. Not sure how that'll turn out. At least it's a January bowl.

TCU has the #1 defense in college football, and has for years. It will be interesting to see them go up against that Wisky offense.

Lol..

I love how people just like to write them off because of the name.

TCU is going to put up a fight, and even though Wisconsin could very well beat them, it will not be a rout.

Ok my only real problem with this is UCONN. They are 8-4, and lost to Temple. They do not deserve a BCS bowl. I can name several other teams that are more deserving: Boise State, LSU, Alabama, Michigan State, Missouri, Nebraska...etc.

UCONN isn't even in the top 25 in the rankings.

I can see that game getting real ugly by the half. OU loves to move the tempo, and get in and out of different formations and I don't think UCONN has seen anything like that.

Exactly, they don't deserve to be in a BCS game, they will probably get killed.

I just want to point out how much Temple got f'd in the bowl selection. 72 eligible teams, 70 got in, and Temple wasn't one of them. Temple finished at 8-4, took down UConn in the process, did lose a couple of games late but b/c of all the bullsh*t obligations and what not...a 6-6 Middle Tennessee State team gets the bid instead.

Its not only the BCS that needs to be re-evaluated in this bowl selection process. There's 8-win teams that aren't getting Bowl games and that's an issue.
