It is OVER in the Alamo Dome. Mizzou loses.

[h2oville rocket]

I say Florida. They don't deserve it but it would give ohio state a reasonable chance to beat them. Probably wouldn't, but they'd at least get a chance.

[SicSic80]

The BCS is a mess...period. Hmmm...let the playoff talk begin again.

And I don't give a crap about who plays in the "title" game...All I care about is BG winning the GMAC Bowl.

Ahhhhh...once again, the voice of reason . Thanks Mike, I'm with you. Screw the BCS and screw the title game - Go Falcons - smash the canes!!!!!

ahh yea, your a hater who is pissed because OSU is in the title game for the second year in a row. The media is up in arms, Mark May can't stand it. It is great. Everyone is pissed. lol.

[Falconfreak90]

Pissed? Me? Nah. You know why? BG and the non BCS schools are virtually locked out of any BCS game. Yeah, HI did it this year and Boise last but it is next to impossible. I don't get mad at things I can't control. And we all know how the BCS controls the dollars in college ball.

And was OSU really in the title game last year? I'm sorry but I didn't see them there. Oh wait...they were there...for about 16 seconds.

I think OSU goes from Gator Bait to Tiger Bait. This ain't Youngstown State, bro.

Fact...OSU is 0-8 lifetime Vs. the SEC in bowl games...soon to be 0-9.

I'll take the Tigers by 14-20 points.

And Utah in 2004. Let's see, that's three times in four years. Yeah, that sounds next to impossible to me. With the way the season went this year had Hawaii played a marquee OOC game or two, like two years ago when USC was on the schedule, and won they could've been in that National Title game. Instead they scheduled Northern Colorado and Charleston Southern.

On the other hand, if they would have lost once at anytime to anyone, they'd have been playing on Dec. 17 or something, while the "big boys" spent the last month of the season playing musical losses and STILL landing in the big money games.

please don't kid yourself, it never would have happened, especially when Hawaii started WAC play

bgsukid,

A non BCS team MUST run the table to have a prayer and hope everyone in the BCS loses at least a game or two.

Like TG said, if a non BCS loses even one game, they're out of a BCS bowl. THAT makes it next to impossible.

They do have to go undefeated, as they should if you have Hawaii's schedule, and it's happened three times in four years so obviously it's not that impossible. I get that it's difficult I'm not saying it isn't hard, but something that's happened three times in four years is not next to impossilbe in my view. All you have to do is get yourself a cupcake schedule in a year where you're really good and you're in. In Hawaii's case you can't lose games to anybody on that schedule and honestly think you deserve to be in the BCS. Heck, Missouri isn't even in the BCS and they only lost to Oklahoma while beating Kansas and Illionis, two teams that are in the BCS. Boise almost disproved the theory you need to go undefeated to make the BCS this year. They had one loss and were ranked 19th when they lost to Hawaii. Had they won that game and finished with one loss, they would of at least finished 13th by virtue of all the teams that lost in front of them. The strength of the victory over Hawaii probably would've been enough to lift them past Illinois and into 12th giving them an automatic bid and Boise's loss wasn't even a good one. They lost by 14 to Washington and played a schedule ranked in 100's and still could've made it with one loss if they had gotten past Hawaii in this crazy season. In a season like this I still stand by my statement that in this particular year, where a two-loss team made the title game, had Hawaii played two quality BCS teams in their non-conference and beat them both they very well could be playing for the title. Most any other year I would say it'd never happen, but this year there was an opportunity for a non-BCS team to crash the party.

All you have to do is get yourself a cupcake schedule in a year where you're really good and you're in.

The problem with trying to set that scenario up is that the schedules are done pretty far in advance. A couple of years before a coach knows how their new recruits for said season will shake out.
It's not like the coaches are sitting there in July going "Well, we're shaping up to be a pretty good team. If we can just get Southern Utah on our non-conference schedule, we should be able to run the table!"

yes, keep saying it. Everyone doubted Florida last year.

OSU is aint Kentucky or Arkansas either, bro. They aren't Stanford or UL-Monroe, bro.

Talk it up as long as you will eat it later if OSU wins.

LSU is slow, LSU is a basic offensive team, Les Miles is the coach. Favorable match up for OSU, that's all I am saying.

Say what you want last year, live in the past all you want. OSU is in the title game on a "REBUILDING" year....FACT!

Can't live in the past in football, it doesn't mean anything for today. Yesterday was just a memory.

tell me about it..Washington has been on the schedule for about 8 or 9 years. They were a legit top 15 team when they were scheduled. Can not help they suck. Syracuse was supposed to be on the schedule this year. They had been on it for a few years. They were a decent team when they were first added. They cancelled, OSU had to scramble to add a team. No one in the BCS wants to come to Columbus as a "filler" for the empty schedule spot, they got stuck with Akron. (I like how you put down your own conference teams like Akron and Kent State and admit that the MAC sucks).

Miami is on the schedule in 2 years. They were #1 when added to the schedule, not OSU's fault they suck. Oklahoma will be on the schedule in 4 years..who knows, stoops may be gone and they may suck by then too.

Texas was mediocre when they were scheduled and they ended up being #1 the first year and #2 the second time OSU played em.

You never know what you are going to get when you make a schedule. Sometimes schools cancel on you. You all now that. Boise backed out on you, USF backed ut on you and you were stuck scheduling a Liberty or a WKU.

what powerhouses they are. My goodness!

What makes you so sure OSU would beat Kentucky and Arkansas? Seriously. OSU is 0-8 bowl games vs. the SEC and 7-20 LIFETIME against the SEC. I'm just going with the odds. And until OSU acutally beats a team from that conference, I stand by that statement. When is the last time OSU beat an SEC team? I know it's been quite a while.

And LSU went thru a meat grinder of a season and are battle tested. Yeah they lost two games...IN TRIPLE OT. OSU had a pathetic slate and still couldn't run the table. LSU DESTROYED the #6 team in the country, Va Tech, 48-7. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but LSU played EIGHT bowl teams this year...not to mention they won the SEC title with injuries and a hot coaching rumor flying around that LM was on his way to Michigan.
LSU is slow? How the hell did you come to that conclusion? Are you blind? Or do you just watch OSU and nobody else? Typical Buckeye fan...OSU has no equal. Keep in mind the Tigers have, oh, about 5 weeks to get their injured players healthy. Hell they won the SEC title and weren't at full strength

Finally, I NEVER doubted Florida was going to win that game last year. I was one of four guys out of 71 in our office bowl pool that picked the Gators to win. I KNEW the Gators were gonna win cuz OSU was not in the same league as FLA.

One other thing...this game is in NO...basically in LSU's back yard. I think that gives them another advantage.

I'll be the first one here to admit I was wrong if OSU wins...unlike your sorry ass that hid for a few days after FLA ripped your boys a new one. I just don't see OSU winning.

First thing..I didnt hide..I was on here THAT NIGHT, giving props to Florida. Go back and check the facts.

LSU is slow. I constantly saw Arkansas and Tennessee players running them down, catching their "speed" players at "skill" positions. I saw Tennesee beat them off the line the majority of the game. If it wasn't for a bonehead QB for Tennessee, LSU would have never been in the game.

I don't care if it is in LSU's back yard. Both team's get the same number of tickets. That is a moot point.

LSU played 8 bowl teams this year..Great! OSU played 7. Only Minnesota, Washington, Akron, Kent St. and YSU are not bowl teams. So another moot point.

I am so sure that OSU would beat KY or Arkansas because they aren't any good. Arkansas doesnt even have a QB. They have a weak defense. KY has a QB but that's it. They dont have much for WR's RB's or a D. OSU is about as well rounded as it gets.

It is obvious that you let ESPN do your thinking for you as you have the ESPN created love affair with the SEC.

[Falconfreak90]

Teke,

I don't know what world you live in...The SEC is the best conf in football this year. Followed by the Big 12 and PAC 10. ESPN obviously has a bias toward the SEC. But the SEC's record speaks for itself.

When the Bucks beat an SEC team, I'll give them props. Ohio State is a very good team...no doubt. I just think LSU will win...
