I'm going to give it to TCU. It's been decades since their last bowl game. They're hungry to show it's not a fluke.

Beat me that time.  :-)

Going for Florida. Tebow wants that Heisman.

So how about them Seahawks!

Iowa and Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl.

No idea on that one.

Didn't see that coming either.

Man even with the win today my Seahawks have had a rough season. Life of a Seattle fan I guess.

Currently I'm wondering who will be Cincy's coach. Both for the Bowl game and next year. (??)

I see it will be a Texas v Bama title game. After last night, I hope Bama destroys the Horns.

Here is a BCS selection link fwiw...

Tell me about it. I'm a Hawks fan in Cowboy Country. It's rough.

Watching the interview with Colt McCoy right now. Texas or Alabama? That's a tough one. Like Tebow, Colt wants the Heisman, so he's going to be working for it.

TCU beat Boise St. in the Poinsettia bowl last year, and I think the Frogs have been to bowls 11 out of the last 12 years.  It has been quite a while since we've been to a "major" bowl, however.

Yeah, last major bowl. Last I've heard was the Cotton Bowl in 1959. I don't follow TCU, so I can't comment to how true that is.

heh, I went to grade school in Oklahoma where I learned to HATE the cowboys. LOL

Though Seattle has a shot at  9-7 I don't see it happening. Two first round draft picks though...

Sunday night football ready to kick off. I need a big game from Warner in one of my fantasy leagues...

Yes, that was back when the Cotton Bowl was a big deal, and it was 1959.  I did a quick Wiki check, and yes, we've now been to bowl games 11 out of the last 12 years.  And this will be the third time we've played Boise State in a bowl.

Also noticed that someone is vandalizing Wikipedia, imagine that! :whatever:

TCU Horned Frogs football team is the intercollegiate football that should not go to the 2009 national championship game team at Texas Christian University.

I'm not as worried about that as I am the price of the flight.  It's a bad time of year to try to fly from the cold part of the country to the warm part.

I think each school gets about 15,000 tickets, which should be plenty.

That's such a crock of shit. They should each play a BCS school.

Cotton is still somewhat of a major bowl with a 3 million dollar payout. It's just not a BCS bowl. Take away the BCS bowls, and it would rank up there with the best bowls.

Oh, and I'm taking my Rebels over the Okie State Cowboys 30-27.

IMO, the Gators should play TCU in the Sugar and Cincy play BSU in the Fiesta. All this does is set up a scenario for BCS teams to say, "See, those two non-BCS schools didn't play anyone."

I kind of agree.  It's almost like the "red-headed step-child" BCS bowl.

It should be an excellent game, but I would have preferred to match up against Florida.

The other situation is where the non-BCS schools to say claim part of the title.

5 undefeated teams is tough. Hell, we could still have 3 undefeated teams when it's all done. ("when" Cincinnati beats Florida) :-)

Sorry man, that's just not gonna happen. Last time Tebow lost a game, to my Rebs, he went undefeated and won the NC. Next time he lost was Saturday night. We'll wind up with 2 undefeateds.
