My favorite part of this is that 42,000 LSU fans have tickets to a USC/Michigan game in California on the same day their Tigers play in the Sugar Bowl just down the street. I don't know anything about these "pre-sold" tickets, but I have to think that the actual seats at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on January 1st are going to be made available to Wolverine fans.

Sugar: Notre Dame vs. LSU. ND lost by 26 to Mich and 20 to USC. Look for another 20-30 point blow out.

LSU officials said Saturday the school had received orders for 42,500 Rose Bowl tickets and 22,000 Sugar Bowl tickets.

With Ohio State's 55% graduation rate and Florida's 42% graduation rate for their football programs (source ESPN) it should be called the Not-So-Bright Bowl. Both teams are pretty good at cracking defenses. Neither is so good at cracking books.
Pathetic.

You are correct. All that the LSU fans have right now is a place in line and a "held" amount on thier Credit cards. If LSU gets Roses, they get thier tickets. If LSU does not get the bid, the "hold" is released.

Being a gator fan, we do have the 'choke' factor when it comes to big games. Sorry it is bred into the system. We will build up a lead and then lose. Usually happens like that.
This one could look like the ol' Nebraska and Florida game. A very mobile qb who can pass. Scary for Florida.

Unfortunately this mollifies the hypocritical SEC, which will now continue to defend this utterly ridiculous bullshit fraud that is the BCS, instead of switching to pushing for a playoff.
Until we have a playoff, there isn't a national champion in college football, just an annointed figure skating queen.

My snort was meant for the BCS, BTW, Arkinsaw :)

The problem with OSU is they are very physical, have a lot of team speed, have depth at every postion, are very well coached, rarely give up big plays, have good skills at the skill postions, and have excellent special teams.
They are simply not beatable. Mich played a near perfect game and got a very rare 3 turnovers and still was behind by 11 very late in the game.

LSU/ND is a great matchup, but Louisville would give OSU all they could handle.

Michigan had not given up a long run all season and gave up two against OSU. Henne missed a wide open Manningham for a TD. Michigan's late hit on the QB kept alive OSU late drive or Michigan would have had a chance to win the game. Perfect game???? Far from it. Granted Michigan got some big breaks on turnovers, but that was not Michigan's best.

I'm taking this article with a huge grain of salt. Considering the source yes. But looking at the numbers, no. The only BCS poll that has been released is the Coaches poll, and the coaches gave Florida a lead that is too much to overcome in the other polls. There is no way Michigan will get it, and I wanted them to.
To: zendari
I think Florida has a chance, the emergence of Percy Harvin now gives Florida a legitimate threat on offense that they haven't had for most of the season.

For the most part, New Orleans and LSU fans are two totally different groups of people.
