And the College Football season begins!!!

[Crothian]

well, its not like the Bruins are known for their run defense....in fact they are known for their utter lack of one. So, ya a good day but not a suprise.

Replace "Bruins" with "PAC-10" and the picture is a whole lot clearer.

What bodes will for USC, maybe, is that their defense shut down a very good UCLA offense. Not that they'll be able to do that against Texas, but it's still a good sign.

Way to go, Georgia!!

I don't think I heard one sportscaster/commentator who gave Georgia a chance...

Now the question is, does LSU deserve an at-large bid?

Now the question is, does LSU deserve an at-large bid?

No. And Virginia Tech doesn't either. Of course, neither does Notre Dame; on merit, the at-large bids would go to Oregon (at the end of the day, the only one-loss major conference team that didn't win their conference) and Ohio State.

This would be why I don't like the BCS. Un-ranked Florida State and 13th ranked Georgia get a BCS game ahead of more worthy teams. Go ahead and throw in 11th ranked West Virginia for kicks. Despite that, I am glad Georgia won...

ESPN is predicting the matchups as follows:

Rose Bowl: Texas vs. USC
Fiesta Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Ohio State
Orange Bowl: Penn State vs. Florida State
Sugar Bowl: West Virginia vs. Georgia

Wow, with those loses OSU should move to number 4 in the BCS and doesn't that mean they get a bid automatically?

Yes. Confirmed that watching Gameday final this morning. OSU should get to 4 in the BCS rankings and any team in the top 4 without an automatic conference bid gets an at-large automatically.
