Okay, without getting into the whole debate about whether it should have been Okie State or Bama playing LSU, can someone give me a rational explanation as to why Virginia Tech was picked over Boise or Kansas State that doesn't involve "money" issues.

I mean come on, this is a joke. I'm an FSU fan and realize the ACC in football has become known as the "Always Crappy Conference", and we get 2 BCS teams in, while the Big 12 gets only 1? Virginia Tech's resume is horrible in that they got blown out by the only ranked team they played all season....twice. This is a joke.

Kansas State v Boise should have been the Sugar Bowl. As it stands now, the Cotton Bowl with Kansas State and Arkansas seems more prestigious than the Sugar.

VT only beat my Blue Devils 14-10. We missed 2 field goals. VT has no business playing in a BCS bowl game.

BCS is a joke. NO ONE will watch the replay. We need Congressional intervention to stop this anti- trust rip off of the American people. We want a playoff!!We want it NOW!!

Pro basketball, NCAA basketball, baseball, pro football—all have playoffs.
You’re right: The `BCS’ is a joke.

Wow, bad choice for the Sugar Bowl.

My feeling of LSU playing the Cowboys was wrong.

Oh well, have to beat the Tide twice.

Saints up on Detroit at the half, 24-7. Drew is awesome.

what’s worse is that the “Voters” which is just coaches, computer geeks, and the Sports MSM act like they know what’s best, even though fans wanted a different result.

BCS = GOP Establishment trying to shove their agenda down our throat.

A couple of articles have mentioned that Virginia Tech has a larger fan base which travels.

I’m not sure if you are joking, but if you think congress should get involved, you might be on the wrong site.

So you now want the federal govt involed in a private enterprise? That’s not very conservative.

More bad news.

Michigan in a BCS is nothing more than $$$$. They had a weak schedule and are in no way better than K-State, Boise, etc.

It's all about money and it makes me ill.

Why not? A large number of people of FR also support the light bulb ban and are also supporting Congress passing a law on how loud commercials on TV can be.

I do not support any of these things, but if it floats their boat, even conservatives are FOR government interference.

Oh, that’s just great, ardenroad gal, let’s get the idiots in congress involved.

You’re on the wrong forum. We want congress in FEWER aspects of our lives.

Am sorry.

You are missing the entire point of the Sugar Bowl teams and $$$.

It’s not about the teams you mentioned, but about Michigan.

They are the money team hello!

Decisions? Talk about decisions!

That room full of chimpanzees would be more astute than the decisions today by Jason Garrett of the Cowboys.
