Amen! I usually hate Auburn, but come bowl season, I'm a War Eagle! Though, I have to admit, being an LSU fan, it's going to be hard to root for Alabama with Nick Saban on the sidelines...
There's a poll on AOL in the sports section...kinda agrees with you.
What's the top reason for the Irish's bowl skid?
Overrated teams 78%
Recruiting Dropoff 10%
Coaching 6%
Bad luck 5%
Could it be that we've found the ONE thing all FReepers agree on...that ND is severely overrated?
Severely no, overrated yes. They belong on a NEw Years day bowl this year, but no BCS Bowl.
o-who?
LOL
They lost to Oregon (with a little help from the refs) and to Texas. That's 2 in the loss column, not 1.
Gator fan checking in. Enough of the appetizers, let's get on with the main course. The Gators are the underdogs and they should be. But that's OK, it will be decided on the field and not by public opinion:-)
Whad up Al?
Hey Max! How've you been? Sorry to say this, but I think your Gators are in for a beating. But it sure would be funny to see how a Gator win would shake up the BCS. Which 1 loss team would be the title holder? And what would become of the undefeated Boise State Broncos?
No doubt it will an interesting game. The Gators do have quite a bit talent and are accustomed to playing big name opponents so don't count them out.
Which 1 loss team would be the title holder? And what would become of the undefeated Boise State Broncos?
The way it stands if Florida wins they will be the Champs. The other 1 loss teams will have a legit complaint and it will fuel the fire for a playoff. It will also make for some good Sports Talk fodder. Good stuff huh?
More than a little help from the refs, the 2 blown calls on the same play stole the game. Even disregarding the wrong call on the touch before 10-yards (the correct call would have given OU the ball) OU still recovered the onside kick, yet the refs awarded the ball to Oregon. If the ball had been awarded to OU, they only had to kneel down and the clock runs out, end of story.
Colorado didn't win the 5th down game, and Oregon didn't win the OU game. OU in truth had only 1-loss going into the Fiesta Bowl. For the record, I'm a Sooner-hating Longhorn.
Point taken and technically, you are correct as far as I'm concerned. But in black and white, it's 2 losses. Too bad for Stoops. His team might have been playing for the national title.
Yeah, FL will be crowned the champs if they win, but that would also give LSU another disappointing "could have been champs" scenario. Boise State fans would holler very loudly about being the only undefeated team left. USC would also have a lot to say.
I hate the BCS.
Thanks for doing these threads. Its been great during the year. I have been out of town for two weeks so have not been able to enjoy them but I shall read this one with pleasure
Few thoughts since I have just returned from the Sugar Bowl
Nick Saban is now the most hated man in Louisiana lol. It was quite something to see the fury of LSU fans and just average Louisiana Citizens. The past chants of Geaux to Hell Notre Dame were replaced by something else.
Les Miles needs to start getting respect.
Notre Dame's problem I think might be real simple in part. That is strength and Conditioning. They did well the first hals but boy they tired out in the second.
As to Quinn good player. Don't underestimate that if he played in a Dome for the first time how this might have effected him
I just looked at the current BCS standings and saw that LSU and USC each have 2 losses. That said, nevermind my last post. That, or insert Louisville and Wisconsin in place of the previous two. ;o)

So I was wondering...will this be the thread for the game on the 8th or will a new one be started for that? Thanks for all you've done to make FReeping even more fun!
OMG! I just read the header at the beginning of the thread. You answered my question way before I had even asked it!
And starting in about 3 minutes, the first ever International Bowl....
Time for a nap :)
