Oh great. Probably no more Keith Jackson announcing, either. On FOX we'll probably get some runner-ups from Reality shows.

Joe Buck calling BCS games?
To: TheBigB
The beginning of the end for the BCS I think. ABC spent all that money developing the concept, and it is still controversial. So, they fold up their tents and move the money to Nascar.
I also expect ESPN to pull out of some of those lame third tier bowl games
To: BurbankKarl
How's this... rather than increase the number of teams to 10, have #1 play #4 and have #2 play #3 with the winners facing off in a title game the following week.

At least it will not be on NBC...they are completely incompetent in all phases of sports broadcasting and should be banned from any such contracts indefinitely.

I bet Pasadena loves the BCS....
You will have the parade on New Years Day, and the game on Jan 8th.
Holy half attendance, batman.

Because that would screw over Utah and Boise State. :-)

Hey, I'd rather see a 3-4 round playoff myself, but if you're going to add a 5th BCS game, at least do it this way so you don't have the same situation as the last two years, where there is controversy over the #1-3 spots. Of course, you'll still have controversy for the #4-5, but at least the two best teams should still meet up in the championship.

I believe it will be a second Rose Bowl, Sugar Bowl, etc. In other words, the four biggies (Rose, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta) will have their games, and then #1 .vs #2 game will be held after that, doubling up on one of the locations in turn.
I could be wrong, and if I am, please be gentle.

How about:
Cotton Bowl 12/25 - #4 vs #5
Gator Bowl 12/25 - #3 vs #6
Peach Bowl 12/25 - #2 vs #7
Sugar Bowl 12/25 - #1 vs #8
Rose Bowl 1/1 - Gator Winner vs Peach Winner
Fiesta Bowl 1/1 - Cotton Winner vs Sugar Winner
Orange Bowl 1/8 - National Championship

I think the fallout from last weeks MNF opening intro has something to do with this. Congratulations ABC, go join NBC in the incompetancy camp.

Bill O'Reilly will be doing color for the Bowl Games.
To: TheBigB
I will wager Utah and BSU don't even make a bowl game this year. They're hampered with the fact they aren't in the SEC and ACC.
