Oh my.
The sports forum on Skins's island hasn't been even a shadow of its former self, after the truemud primitive and the forked primitive chased the cboy4 primitive off the island. The cboy4 primitive, besides being the only primitive with a sense of humor, was also the only primitive who knew excresence about sports.
Anyway.

So Wisconsin wins the Big 10(11) and OU wins the Big 12 South...just because of the ****ing BCS rankings!
Wisconsin was only one place ahead of Ohio State. And A&M actually lost a position after beating Texas. And they beat OU!
Screw this shit.

2. Hey, El.
UCONN deserves a shot at the NC as much as TCU does.

6. I think both are the right choices
"Wisconsin was only one place ahead of Ohio State."
Wisconsin also beat Ohio State, so the "only one place" argument is rather weak.
"And A&M actually lost a position after beating Texas."
Just about everybody their side of Nebraska beat Texas this year. They won one game in the division, finished in last place in the south, and were the first team in the history of the Big 12 (I could be wrong about this, but I don't think so) to lose to both Baylor and Iowa State. At home no less. So I'm not seeing how beating Texas merits a big jump for the Aggies.
"And they beat OU!"
So? In a three way tie like this, one of the teams left out is going to have beaten the team that goes. They wouldn't be going to the BCS rankings otherwise. In some other conferences, A&M would be eliminated anyway by virtue of their overall record, which is inferior to the other two teams tied for the division lead. I guess that solution would be okay, but I don't think it would be inherently superior to what the Big 12 does now.
For the record, franksolich is very happy Nebraska's playing Oklahoma for the Big 12 championship; it's our last game in the Big 12, before we hike over to the effete Big 10 (effete excepting for Ohio State, of course) next year, and franksolich hoped Nebraska could leave with class.
Oklahoma is class. Texas A & M, Oklahoma State, not hardly.

Texas A&M is a great school, a military school, a very conservative school compared to most. I went to a football game there and it's the best place I've ever been as far as the crowd and how they got into the game.

I agree. I saw one game there in the early 90's. Incredible atmosphere and very knowledgeable fans. They were even friendly to us Horned Frog faithful. Of course they were kicking our butts, which might have affected their mood.

Coach, somehow when I watch Gabe Carimi and the Wisconsin Badger offensive line dismantling a defense, 'effete' isn't the first term that comes to mind. :???:
'Effete' brings to mind 'mincing'. The Badgers O-line has made mincemeat of their opponents this year, though, so that may be what has you confused. :-)
