When the Cotton moves to the new Cowboy home, you’ll see them pitch to become the 5th BCS bowl. If not sooner. Though, why anyone would want to be a part of the Bowl Chump Series is beyond me. Oh, wait,.... money. Never mind.

When will they (whomever THEY are) figure out the fans are now drolling for an LSU vs. someone matchup.

Personally, I’d like to see...

LSU vs. WV

sorry Dawgs: its not like LSU v. Georgia was out of your control
sorry USC: Play someone next time.
Sorry Mizzou: you had your shot at OU in the Big 12 title game and fell short.

Georgia president: Schools need to regain control of postseason

On Monday, Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford and SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said the ACC, SEC, Big East and Big 12 are open to a “plus-one” Final Four format in which the top four teams would be selected and seeded.

I must confess - I can’t figure out how they can take god knows how many college football teams and decide who’s 1 and who’s 2 and so on and so forth.

While I’m very ambivalent about a national college championship, I can understand the fans wanting one. But I don’t know - I often wish they’d just left the “Big 4” alone. But I don’t know the nuances of BCS selection, because I still can’t figure out how Cal didn’t go to the Rose Bowl and Texas did. I think it’s because USC went to bowl game designated as the championship (Fiesta? Orange? I forget) and therefore the Pac-10 lost its spot in the Rose Bowl.

Rats....now I have a headache.

The Cottown Bowl being on of the "traditional" New Years Day Bowls, they are entitled to make the pitch to be included, imho.

I must say that I almost forgot to watch last night's game. Call me stuck on traditional but any game played on any day other than New Years, just seems out of place. And if we get a playoff system like so many are screaming for, what will the season end, April?
