HUSKER 37 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 My question is about the BCS championship game, played here on Jan. 08...a week after the Fiesta Bowl. Near as I can figure out, all you need to do is make sure you finnish in the top 4, win your Bowl game, and then, the BCS Championship game. No easy task.. Anybody else able to find out how they're picking the final two? If this was the case last year (BCS Championship game after the bowls) I'm afraid we would've just had Texas going against USC in a rematch of the Rose Bowl played the week before...(1vs.2) Quote Link to comment
808Husker in KCMO Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 There is no playoffs... #1 Vs #2 in the bcs championship game. Not winner of 1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4 Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 THat is correct, there is no playoff (but needs to be). They just added another BCS bowl and are having two more teams qualify for the BCS. Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted October 11, 2006 Author Share Posted October 11, 2006 So why have TWO BCS bowl games in the same stadium (a week apart)? Rather than include another stadium/City in the BCS Bowl picture..say like the Cotton Bowl or something? Seems like it would be more better to spread the wealth, or use this as an opportunity to help out an area trying to recover from a Hurricane or a 9/11 kind of situation. There's going to be 3 Bowl games here in the Valley in a 10 day span..I'm not complaining, 'specially if the Huskers make it out here...but seems like the rich are getting a lot richer... Maybe they plan on easing in to the "Plus One" format to placate the "Playoff Mongers". Quote Link to comment
General Blackshirt Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 it doens't make sense to me either...... i say just make the Cotton a BCS Quote Link to comment
gamecocks Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I agree, the Cotton Bowl should be the extra BCS bowl game added to the mix. THere is no reason to have two bowls in one stadium in under a week. Wouldn't the all the teams have a conflict every once and awhile with practice facilities and such. Quote Link to comment

Seems like I'd heard the stadium (Cotton Bowl) was in pretty bad shape awhile back..One of the reasons they weren't included in the BCS bowl party... You'd think any NFL city with a new stadium could make a case for hosting one of these...Heck..With the improvements at Memorial...Nahh Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Even if the Cotton Bowl is a dump, I plan on making the voyage there this winter if the Huskers end up there. Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Even if the Cotton Bowl is a dump, I plan on making the voyage there this winter if the Huskers end up there. The past few years it has been an early early kick-off, like 11am. Quote Link to comment
ttheKid1*18 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I agree that the Cotton Bowl should be a BCS Bowl Game, but do they have lights there? Every game I have seen there, whether the UT/OU game or the Cotton Bowl, it's early, so there is no need for lights. Would they be able to have a night game there? Quote Link to comment

ttheKid1*18 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I hope we play there if we don't get a BCS bid, I have never seen us play there. We haven't since 1973 I believe. Quote Link to comment
