2008-09 Bowl Schedule -- Complain About the System Here!

Let the complaining begin!

Rose Bowl

Penn St. vs. USC

Orange Bowl

Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech

Cotton Bowl

Ole Miss vs. Texas Tech

Sugar Bowl

Utah vs. Alabama

Tostitos Fiesta

Ohio State vs. Texas

BCS National Championship

Florida vs. Oklahoma

How much did Ole Miss and Ohio State bribe someone to get in the bowls?

They weren't even close to the top teams this season. Miss has it's one win against Florida and Ohio State feasted on the weakest conference in the nation and got spanked the first time they took on a real team.

I think Boise St. is a better team than Utah.LongWayDown3

Both Utah and Boise deserve to be there

Virginia Tech and Cincy's bowl makes zero sense to me if we're going for the top teams

TCU and Boise deserve it more

What is worse?

The only team that might be a good team is Penn State. Besides that it's a bunch of pretenders and never beens.

Ohio State can't compete on a national level. Michigan State actually allows more points then it scores, Northwestern and Iowa are 1 game away from .500 and Sota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Purdue, Michigan, and Indiana are all past awful with Michigan being the only one that has a plan for how to come back.

The Big 10 is a wreck right now

Cincinnati? I would have liked Texas vs. Alabama :?X360PS3AMD05

Ole Miss is a good team. Beat Florida, LSU, and Georgia.. Ohh yeah and barely lost to Alabama..

Only thing I have to say is it should be Boise over OSU.

I still can't believe Cincinnati won the Big East.

It's like the Devil Rays winning the American League. Oh never mind.

lol wrong. The Big Ten was the 3rd strongest behind the B12 and SEC. OSU had the 9th SOS in the nation, having faced 5 ranked opponents, beat 3 of em, and as you know they teams they lost to were ranked #1 and #3. Boise went undefeated and i applaued them, but it was against one of the weakest (Rated 105th i believe) schedules in D-1 football. Utah on the other hand is very deserving, and they were rewarded with a BCS bowl.

Besides, although the buckeyes have had recent troubles in big games, they are still 4-2 overall in BCS bowls, and OSU vs Texas is hard to pass up, be it for rating, money, and the fact they just had a recent home and home (each with a win).

It's kind of funny really, and proof to me people like to jump on hate bandwagons, I never heard how okla. is 0-4 in BCS games, getting blown out in 2 of them. Before florida, OSU was 4-0 in BCS games and considered one of the better big game teams. Oh well, we'll see....I honestly think it will be a fun game to watch. The coaches need to do a better job mix play packages.

I don't see how anyone can complain about Utah getting in over Boise St. The Mountain West was very strong this season. They went a combined 25-11 in non-conference play and 9-4 against teams from the BCS conferences. Boise St is more deserving than Ohio St, but not more deserving than Utah.Oleg_Huzwog

Incase yall forgot Utah was the first to start the Mid Major crashing the BCS school in the games.. Utah is a very talented team and they are fun to watch..

They were not challenged in a game so far this year. .nocoolnamejim

Not challenged in a game this year?

http://boisestate.rivals.com/boxscore.asp?Game=30752

I'd say allowing Oregon to come back to within a touchdown with a redshirt freshman at the helm would be considered a challenge. Oregon gave you more of a challenge then you would know, with our 5th string(considered a redshirt as he wasn't exactly planning on playing all year) quarterback bringing us back to within 5 in the last quarter of the game. You can thank whoever gave Jeremiah Masoli the concussion on the first play of the game for your perfect season and your hopes of a BCS game.

I just want to know how Ole Miss got into a bowl against Texas Tech? Tech is going to blast them. Ohio State deserves a bowl, but they're better matched up against Ole Miss. A Texas-Texas Tech rematch would be great to watch.Yagr_Zero

Explain to me why you think Boise St was more deserving then OSU? I'm not disputing that Boise St is a good team, because they are. However I won't also disupte that they had one of the weakest schedules in D-1 football (108th ranked). Anyone with decent talent could of went undefeated with that schedule, OSU faced 2 Top 5 teams, 2 top 20 teams, and 1 top 25 team. Won 3, and lost to #1 ranked USC, and played #3 PSU down to the wire. Utah didn't have the SOS that OSU had either, but they played some very tough games this year, and as a result are a more pleasing BCS pick.

Say what you want about OSU and it's recent problems, but are still a top five BCS program record wise at 4-2. They simply need to regroup and get a freakin new Off. Cord that can take advantage of their talent. Believe me though, even after what I've said, I also agree they need a playoff model of some sort.

[QUOTE="dragonball3900"]

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"] I watched this game from beginning to end and never for a minute felt nervous about the final result. Boise went into a prevent defense in the last quarter and the game came close, but that is nothing compared to the string of barely escape wins that Utah had. What did they have? Five wins by less than a single touchdown? Now, I'm not arguing that at the end of the day Utah didn't deserve to go. I AM, however, stating that if Boise St. had started where Utah did in the preseason rankings and Utah where Boise did, then the positions would be reversed and Utah fans would be complaining about being screwed. Just like in 2004. [QUOTE="BLBxLakers24"]

We all know there was a bigger issue with the BCS in 2004.

plus everyone talks about the big 12 and how good they are but i guess i am the only person to think they arent really that great. they Oklahoma state, Texas Tech, Texas, and Oklahoma played each other but who else have they really played other than those four teams.... nevada, tcu, western illinois state or something like that.

plus i didn't include missouri because they are the msot overrated team in the big 12 and arent really that good

i'm not saying OSU should be in a bowl game but they are definately more deserving than BSUsquitsquat

Baloney. The only sort of person who would say that is an OSU fan. All the relevant polls (AP, USA Today, Harris, BCS) are unanimous in ranking Boise St ahead of Ohio St.

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"][QUOTE="LongWayDown3"]I think Boise St. is a better team than Utah.-SPECTER-MIKE

[QUOTE="-SPECTER-MIKE"][QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"] Yes. Hell Yes. A THOUSAND TIMES OVER HELL YES. BSU is only 3-0 against Utah in the last decade. They're only 13-0 against the MWC. They were not challenged in a game so far this year. The fact that Utah is going to a BCS bowl and BSU is not simply speaks to how idiotic the notion of preseason rankings are. There is absolutely no justification for a 12-0 Boise State team that played one of the most exciting BCS games in recent memory in the 2006 Fiesta Bowl getting the shaft this year. Three undefeated seasons in the last five years and only one BCS bowl invite. The BCS system sucks.Pepsi3
