NCAA Football 2008-09 Season

Boise State had already accepted the bowl bid if I am not mistaken, they couldnt really offer to play anywhere else in the first place

Same goes for Ball State, they are automatically locked into either the Motor City or GMAC, I don't know why the media even reported this possibility.
What bowl game are they locked into anyways (Boise)?

Seems weird that USC will clinch a spot in the Rose Bowl with a win in the Rose Bowl.

Thats what I've been saying for YEARS.
NO team should be able to play a Bowl Game at HOME ....

The Big Ten has that problem every year, every year a B 10 team has to go out and play USC at thier HOME in the Rose Bowl.

(also why I'm glad Ball State declined the Boise State offer, that I don't think was a possibility anyways)
 
I hope they go to the GMAC Bowl- I would love to see Ball State/Tulsa!

I think they have to go to the GMAC as the # 2 team in the MAC.

There was a LOOOOONG time when a MAC team only had one bowl (could not get a 2nd bowl) now that they do have a 2nd one, the have to keep the appointment.)
 
Is Matt Eberflus the Missou D co ordinator ?

There was talk earlier this week that he was being considered for the Toledo Rockets head coach.
I went to HS with him :D

Gee, that must be your area thing, I just heard (read) last night here that someone in the Big 12 would NEVER root for another Big 12 team in a bowl game.

WHEN Ohio State won the championship the Big Ten did not stand up and say WE won, Northwestern did not win it , Illinois didn't win it , Penn State didn't win it ect.

Same goes for when the Bucks lost in the MNC games, why did it effect the whole Big Ten, many of them one thier games, even against the SEC.
Just because OSU lost, does not dimminish the rest of the conference that just one thier games.

It bugs me because if Florida wins, that does NOT mean that Alabama won the MNC , or Vanderbuilt or who ever, Florida wins, not all the other teams in the SEC.
Maybe it bugs me because there is such a biased attitude here that the SEC is above it all and could not possibly lose.

Geez lighten up. Having pride in your conference is not a bad thing. Yes if FLA wins the NC game, ALL of the SEC won. They represent the SEC.. Get over it.
 
You know what else is weird? Missouri playing in KC back to back weeks. You'd think between St. Louis, San Antonio and Houston the Big XII could stage a CG indoors somewhere. Why play in KC where it's freezing?
 
I hope and pray that Tulsa plays them in the GMAC Bowl.

That would be the type of game I love and you hate- tons of scoring and shoddy defense.
Sabres I trust that you will be the only person in the country watching that game. The GMAC Bowl is as useless a bowl as there is.
 
About Bama vs FLA..

First I have to say what a great game Bama, I really underedistmated you guys and gave you no credit, but damnt if you didnt hold one of the nations fastest and highest scoring offenses in the nation to only 31 points, and scored 20 on one of the best defenses in the nation. You guys are a class act and I would not of thought twice about cheering for you in the N Title game.

All that said is their any question anymore if FLA deserves to be in the title game?

No.

This time, unlike a few years ago, they legitimately won their way into the title game, as opposed to backing in via UCLA selling their souls to beat USC.

If Ball State plays Tulsa, they'd combine for more points than some college basketball games.

They didnt earn it 2 years ago? How not. USC lost, Florida moved up. Thats how it works. If Miz beats Ok, Texas will move up. Does that mean texas was undeserveing?


Anywho, id really hate to be the team that has to play Bama in a bowl game.. They are going to be fired up.
 
Florida was a 10 point favorite I think. That's a slap in the face to the #1 team.
Guess the oddsmakers got it right this time.

... Tim Tebow is a great college player but he will go down like Jason White as a great college player that won't even get a tryout in the NFL ...
:confused: Tebow is an entirely different type of player than White was. Not even get a tryout in the NFL? Unless he goes the way of Roberto Clemente before he graduates, I think we'll see him in the NFL soon enough. :up

... If Oklahoma looses, I honestly think we deserve at least some consideration (at least as much as anyone else in the scenario) for the NC game. It wont happen ...
You're right, it won't. See Michigan/Ohio State 2006.

Hats off to Bama and a tough loss for you Bama fans. Congratulations on a great season (much sooner than I expected or had wished ;)).

A quick look at the weather shows:
St. Louis 27*
KC 31*
San Antonio 46*
Houston 51*

So No where is exactly WARM. :)
