Official Bowl Schedule Thread.

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?

You mean it wasn't always the Capital One Bowl? :sarcasm

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

At #15 in the BCS standings, Michigan St simply wasn't eligible for a BCS bowl.

Michigan probably is taken over them anyway for reasons others gave, but it just wasn't even a possibility for MSU.

 
This year's bowl schedule is looking incredibly uninteresting. The BCS bowls are an absolute joke this year. The Rose and Fiesta are respectable and worth watching, but those other three are a shame.

 
I think they need to drop the 'sponser' bowl names and go with how the Rose Bowl does it.... Rose Bowl presented by Visio. Sounds better than Meineke Care Care Bowl of Texas. I don't like rematches in college football. I would rather they play new teams. I agree B1G needs to win the SEC matchups. That helps recruiting

 
Well the smack talk has started between my younger brother and I. He is a current undergrad student at USC. He really has lost some confidence in the gamecocks since the loss of Latimore, however their defense is very talented and athelitic.

We will both be trying to make it to Orlando.

Plenty of intrigue in some of the match-ups:

How will Oklahoma, and Baylor respond playing two 7 win teams in Iowa and Washington, respectively?

Nebraska faces Steve Spurrier in another bowl game.

The Urban Meyer Bowl between Florida and tOSU.

Two of the best QBs in the league in Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden and Stanford's Andrew Luck meet up in the Fiesta Bowl.

Michigan vs Virginia Tech--first time EVER those schools have played.

Which defense, Georgia's or Michigan State's will shut down the opposing team's offense?

How does Case Keenum fair against a stiff Penn State defense?

How many points does Arkansas pile on Kansas State?

--All very interesting, to me at least.

 
Why has nobody mentioned the injustice of Western Kentucky getting snubbed? They finished second in their conference ahead of two bowl teams they beat head to head. It's an outrage. :sarcasm

But seriously, I was pulling for them to go somewhere.

 
The BCS is a total Sham. Most of us have known it for years, but they have truly been exposed this year with these bowl match-ups. PATHETIC! U of M (yes my team) does not deserve a BCS bid, Va Tech at least finished second in their conference. And the team to the south of us playing on New Years Day? They should be at the Motor City Bowl.
