BCS/Bowl Selection Discussion...

Boise St Vs TCU...lame.

 

[Archer]

Bullshit Fiesta Bowl game

Great chance to downtalk the winner and piss on the loser . Nobody is coming out as a winner

 

[Nash]

this is bullshit

 

[Goober]

Jesus this shit has been on for 15 minutes and they've announced 3 bowls. Fuck Fox and this crappy show. Just announce the bowl games. We don't care about shitty interviews, we just want to know who plays who, where.

And fuck whoever decided to have Boise St and TCU play each other. What a fucking joke.

 

[PP]

I saw the TCU/Boise coming. Its a huge cop out to not have these teams play some national powerhouse. I mean it will be one hell of a game but still

 

[Goober]

Haha, Woy Penn St didn't get in.

 

[mgoblue2290]

Weak shit by the BCS. Also fuck Mack Brown for being a giant hypocritical douche. TCU/Boise winner needs to call out whoever wins the Bama/Texas game.

 

[Archer]

Iowa/GT

I guess i'm catching up on some sleep that day

 

[Woy]

Haha, Woy Penn St didn't get in.

I guess the Orange Bowl didn't need the money they were reportedly losing.

Oh well, we have a better shot at winning the Capital One Bowl anyways.

I don't understand why TCU filled their basketball stadium up with students and went through the trouble of organizing a pep really for their BCS bid. It'd make more sense to me for them to refuse to even appear to play along with the whole process. It'd also be badass for them to just refuse to play, but I'm sure there's too much money involved.

BSU-TCU is basically just a throwaway game, it happened last year in the Poinsetta bowl and no one watched or cared. Sure this year it's a BCS game but it still isn't interesting or important.

 

[Nash]

these bowl games are going to be BORING

Alabama will kill Texas
Florida will blow out Cincinatti
Oregon will murder Ohio State
Iowa will blowout Tech

TCU vs Boise is gonna be the only good game.

 

[Goober]

Lol @ Oregon blowing out Ohio St. Ohio St actually has a good defense this year.

I would have really like to see coach Patterson say how they should be playing Alabama.. Is there like a fuggin gag order on all D-1 coaches about the BCS

Didn't Patterson basically say that he's fine with the current system? IIRC, he shouldn't complain about where his team is playing.

 

[Dez]

Patterson is just tryna be classy that is all. Of course he isnt going to let his emotions all out on National TV. Besides, this is their very 1st BCS bowl bid. He can build upon this...especially if they win. Hard to complain although there must be a part of him that says "FUCK THIS SYSTEM".

 

[Sportsbuck]

Oregon will murder Ohio State

LOL @ this one.

It's going to be a close, good game.

 

[padman59]

Yes, I did read/hear somewhere he said something like that... basically the system will work itself out. But WTF does that mean? Was he really thinking it'd work out in their favor? The only thing in that interview on Fox he said was "Well I voted us number 2".. IDK

Chris Petersen of Boise said something similar after his win against Nevada.. It just baffles me that these guys (A) Believe the system will favor them, or (B) Are just happy making it to a BCS bowl


EDIT: Coach Patterson on ESPN is so delusional talking about climbing the mountain & being ranked higher in the preseason next year so they might get a shot. Are you kidding? Boise has gone undefeated one season & had one close loss to TCU last year & start at an average ranking of 13-15. There is a reason why these non-BCS schools are ranked low enough at the beginning so they cant crack the top 2 if the go undefeated.

I agree. They should have at least kept their mouths shut about it until after the bowl game. I'm shocked they'd say something remotely endorsing the current system given their teams position in the polls.

But matching up TCU and Boise may be a good move for the BCS. The conspiracy theorist in me says it's a no win situation for the winner of the game. If the victor decides to attempt to gain momentum going into next season, the excuse will always be along the lines of "well, XXXX didn't beat a BCS quality team in their bowl. Their opponent was overrated to begin with."

What a fucking cop-out by the BCS.

Not really the BCS' fault. Blame the reps from the Fiesta Bowl who made the pick.

 

[FirstTimer]

You guys do realize the BCS Committee has NOTHING to do with the bowl match-ups, sans the title game. It's all up to the individual bowls. You can't blame the BCS for TCU v. Boise State. That one is on the Fiesta Bowl.

Thank you.

You don't think BCS reps are working behind the scenes to influence who picks whom? A matchup that results in either TCU/Boise beating another BCS conference team doesn't look good especially if the committee is concerned about Congress' threat to investigate the BCS. Either enough people were influenced to keep TCU/Boise in the same bowl or the BCS reps lucked out today. My skepticism toward the system makes me think the former.

 

[padman59]

Interesting piece of information: the computers wanted a Cincinnati/Alabama matchup for the championship.
