Actually now that I see the BCS rankings I see that Alabama's comp ranking (not that those are "objective" either) is higher than Oklahoma State -- I thought it was the other way around. So I'm okay with LSU being #1 right now and Alabama #2.

They're about even (4-2) and OKST still has Bedlam to play.  The assumption is that a win in that game pulls them even or better.

Oh hey!  Didn't wind up mattering though because of the human polls, but at least now I can ignore college football again.  (Except for Illinois vs. UCLA in the most strangely depressing bowl game ever.)

I wish our shot at revenge against Mack Brown was coming in a year when we had a little more consistent of a team.

The BCS is a joke.  College football is all about money.  I won't be watching it.

Good to see Illinois gets bowl money even though they shouldn't have gone to one!

All snarking aside, Illinois had the talent to be in the hunt for the big ten title this year but they had the coaching anchor that was Zook tied firmly around their necks.

Pretty good summation that it is not about the football as it is about the money flowing about. How dare SMU cost its conference the millions a BCS bowl would bring with a loss to Houston?!  Ohhhhh, I see.

Here's the Bowls I will be watching:

Meineke Bowl - Noon on New Years Eve - Texas A&M v. Northwestern: It's a pretty equal matchup of teams, and both are looking for something strong to finish the season for recruiting
Liberty Bowl - 3:30 on New Years Eve - Cincy v. Vandy: I'd like to see if Vandy can step up against an out of conference team that's halfway decent.
Chick-fil-A Bowl - 7:30  on New Years Eve - Auburn v. Virginia: I'll be watching this one because it'll be the only thing on television that night that doesn't make me want to punch someone.

I will watch some of the Houston v. Penn State game before the UGA v. Michigan State game comes on

BCS
I will watch Wisconsin v. Oregon. Probably the most watchable of the BCS.
I don't think I'll bother watching Stanford v. Oklahoma State. No Fiesta. Siesta.
Sugar Bowl with no SEC team? Pass. Michigan should trounce a bad Virginia Tech team.
Orange Bowl? Even on a good year this bowl sucks. 3 loss team v. 3 loss team? Best BCS Bowl EVAR!
National Championship? I'll probably watch the first quarter and turn it off.

If it follows the rest of the way the season has gone, I'd watch the second half of the NC game.

The problem is that I just don't care. In my mind, win or lose, LSU is already the best team in the nation. Unless they get run out of the building, the NCG won't prove anything to me as a fan.

I'm putting this on record right now, 01101010 (by the way your name sucks to type), I think you lose this NCG.

You have to wait too long, and Alabama will get to hear for about a month why they don't deserve to be there. Nick Saban is just going to feed the fire, and Jordan Jefferson is a fuckup waiting to happen.

Haha, WOW.

I don't post that to discredit Bama. I truly think they are the best team outside LSU. But I still see having a conf championship as having a little more weight.

As for the wait. Les Miles will have his team ready. Just like Saban will have his team ready. This game will be about attrition.

Only Noah could get his team ready for 40 days off.

The NCG will be defensive and ugly because the offenses will have no flow.

The next asshole from the NCAA or anywhere else who uses the 'student-athlete' excuse on why something (playoffs, or whatever) can't be done is getting a kick in the nuts and then beaten to death with a OAG guide opened to the cross-country flights section.

Yeah, the conference hijinks have really put that whole student-athlete shit to bed. Nothing screams "naked exploitative capitalism" like a West Coast team being in the "BIG EAST!" and teams leaving conferences because their TV deal sucks.

Not at all as optimistic about Bama beating LSU as I once was.  Both OC and DC are being courted for HC jobs (Memphis and Texas A&M respectively).

You can put the blame for coaches abandoning Florida on Jeremy Foley. Ever since the football national championships, he's grown a very large head.

Rumor coming down the pipeline is Jim Mora Jr. to UCLA as the new coach. Should be named today at some point.

Illinois hired the guy from Toledo to be head coach, from what I hear he gets the idea that recruiting in state is going to be important and wants to focus on it (previous coaches have let Michigan wisconsin Michigan state purdue and Iowa recruit from illinois pretty much at will while they focused on pulling kids from other states).
