Holy B1G/SEC lunch kickoffs on the 2nd.

What the hell is the BELK BOWL????

Belk, either sometimes or formerly known as Hudson Belk, is a southeast department store chain, probably on par with Dillards (I'm not much of a shopper so excuse me if that's off). It's the old Continental Tire, then Meineke Bowl in Charlotte.

Love how Herbstreit declared outrage about VT getting in the Sugar Bowl over KSU, Baylor and Boise State, asking if it had come down to fan support these days. News flash: it's always been that way. Money talks. Why does he think all of these games have corporate sponsors obscuring the traditional bowl name?

So it isn't an old wooden ship from the Civil War

ACC gets an at large??? Hate to say it but K-State might have gotten screwed.... Was the Big 12 really that bad this year?? Can't say I paid any attention.

Nah its just because the ACC is clearly the better conference.

Incidentally, the ACC just signed large television contract with ESPN.

9 of our opponents are going to bowl games this year. I don't think that happens very often.

Looks like Jan 2nd is going to be a vacation day.

Yeah I hear you. My company has a weeks shutdown after Christmas but I will have to extend it to a week and a day.

I thought it was a typo and it was supposed to be the Blek Bowl. Because that's the sound I make when watching Shawn Watson's offense.

I love Frank Beamer, but even he has to know VT playing in a BCS game this year is a joke among jokes. They played FCS , Sun Belt, MAC, and C-USA opponents for their non-conference schedule and didn't beat a single team that finished ranked in the BCS. Michigan is getting quite a gift not having to play Boise or Baylor.

How does Michigan get a BCS game over Michigan St? This all seems dumb to me. Money is all that matters.

I submit to you Oklahoma is the 2010 Nebraska

The same reason Nebraska wouldve been in the BCS if it had beat Michigan. Money and fan support.

Probably samething VTech got in over KState.

Baylor got the same treatment this year. They both have to play crappy 7-5 teams.

What happened to bowl games on New Year's Day? Do they not do that anymore?

Michigan-2 losses

Michigan State-3 losses

It's all about losses and when they occur. We had this discussion before the Michigan game that the winner of that game had a chance to go a BCS bowl because they would jump the loser of the B1G CCG, and that's exactly how it played out.
