Watched the MAC championship game last night, at least until the fourth quarter. Miami picked Bowling Green apart again. It's been a pretty good year for Ohio football, I'll be happier once OSU is in a BCS bowl though.

I'm just hoping Georgia beats LSU this weekend, so that my Orange can beat Notre Dame (not that I think they will) without screwing up the national championship game that everyone outside of Louisiana knows is correct (Oklahoma v. USC). It's bad enough that there will be one good side effect from my team losing (Coach P, who still hasn't found a successor to Donovan McNabb, likely gets fired). Two good side effects would be really annoying.

The MAC needs better bowls. Miami of Ohio is easily one of the 15 best teams in the country. Heck they should be chosen by a BCS bowl

Okay, maybe not but they deserve better then they get.

People are saying the same about the WAC. The WAC champ gets the Humanitarial Bowl. Not a great bowl. Of course, Boise did get Forth Worth this year, so it's a step in the right direction.

Personally, I think all conference champs should get a quality bowl. I was looking forward to Boise possibily playing Miami OH at the GMAC (I think that's the one), but TCU is the next best thing.

K state took the lead? LSU blowing out Georgia? The games are reversed

Well since Cal were the ones to beat USC, I'll be glad if USC doesn't make it to the championship game.

USC had a big win so I imagine they will be make it. But if not it'll be great to have Pac 10/Big Ten Rose Bowl finally

Wll what do you know. Kansas State routing Oklaholma 35-7 with 7:44 to go in the fourth..

This is going to be very interesting. Mosts experts thought that Oklahoma would go to the title game even if they lost tonight. But I don't think they thought Oklahoma would get blown out like this.

If USC doesn't go to the championship, that will be another nail in the BCS coffin. It's bad enough, but USC should be there. Who knows, maybe it will be USC/LSU. The way OK is losing, I'm not sure they should still be in, though they probably will be. Which brings up another beef. How can a team lose a Conference Title game, only to turn around and go to a National Title game? Just silly.

So if 1-AA/2A, etc. can have a football playoff, why can't the big boys?

Wow, finally a year with no undefeated team. It's this type of situation the BCS was set up for, it's to judge teams with the exact same record and dtermine which is best.

I'm hoping for USC/LSU title game.
