I'm heading to Fort Worth for the Fort Worth Bowl. Not going to be that exciting of a game, but I can't wait to head to Texas. Go Marshall!

My Auburn Tigers aren't gonna get the shot at the NC!!

I'm happy though, it's been a long time since we played in the Sugar Bowl.

I went to the SEC Championship game here in Atlanta and it was awesome!!

It sucks for Auburn and Cal but dear god the Cal people wont stop complaining about a conspicracy (no really) and how Mack Brown "begged and pleaded" for votes (though he just said two sentences that asked people to take a closer look at Texas). It would have taken alot more for Cal to get into the Rose Bowl than Texas, they have no arguement.

Look, Texas got their ASSES WHOOPED!!!! Cal barely lost to the defending National Champions. Rose Bowl is in CA. They are 2nd in Pac 10. Behind defending National Champs. They did get screwed. But, so did Auburn. Auburn definately got the raest deal of all.

Lets take a look at Cal and Texas. Texas lost to its rival OU on a neutral site 12-0 and Cal lost to its rival USC 23-17. It however appears that USC has made it a habit of having close calls to unranked teams: Standford, Oregon State, and UCLA.
Texas in no way had its "ass kicked," OU did not score its touchdown until the 4th quarter was half-way done. Peterson had alot of yards but nothing to show for it since the score was 12-0.
Now lets take a look at Cal and Texas oppenents. Texas played 5 ranked opponents to Cals 2. Texas opponents combine record is 63-49 to Cals 61-63. Texas played much more difficult teams.

You cannot justify Cal being screwed just because they barley lost to USC.

The BCS sucks, thats what it comes down to. Until there is a playoff, it's rare that a true national champion will be crowned.

A playoff system wont work either. You would have the conference champs and a few at-large spots, but those would be disputed just like the bowls of the BCS. I think they should throw out the AP and Coaches poll and have people that actually watch teams play be the one to vote. Not biased journalist who cheer for their home team or coaches that vote for themselves.

Playoff systems work extremely well in every other college sport, including the other levels of football, including I-AA. Marshall played I-AA up until 1997, so we know it works. It actually makes for better games too. I would MUCH rather watch a good playoff game than see two teams play in a bowl. A bowl you don't have much motivation to play for, just one and done. Playoffs you have to play for the next week.

It would be fun but schools that go undefeated the whole year than lose to a low-teir team in the 1st round would get all mad.....Plus $14 Million for a BCS Bowl?

Who was that that almost handed Texas their asses until they woke up and decided to play? I guess we can use the strength of schedule thing after USC hands the boomer schooner their azzkicking.

Longhorns = slightly above average

They shouldn't lose to a low-tier team then. Upsets happen every single day. And who said they couldn't award payouts for reaching certain levels? Simply assign bowls to the later rounds to host.
