I forgot, which game they go to? Orange Bowl? They can go to either the Orange Bowl or the Sugar Bowl....yes, they are really the only one who has a choice in the matter.

Why do people, especially sports media, get whiney when "little" schools do well in the polls and possibly might break into the BCS dance? Really their arguments of "weak schedule" is incredibly IQ-insulting because the same logic could be applied to these big powerhouse schools with their cupcake schedules.
You know why? Ratings.
Its the same reason why industry people whine in MLB or NBA, dropping hints of how teams outside of NYC or LA will be a total ratings bust. They talk as if those sports are booked like wrestling.
Point is, Cincinnati getting in the BCS would be great. Same with TCU, or Pittsburgh, or Boise State. Just to make those marketing executives depressed.

And CBS's Danielson thinks the SEC Championship Loser should face the SEC Champion in the BCS Championship Game if Texas falls.....because CBS and the SEC have some sort of deal. Just so you know, if Florida loses to Alabama in the SEC Championship Game......while I am a Florida fan, I would not want them in the BCS National Championship Game. Oh yeah, and Texas' Mac Brown.....classy of you to think a non-BCS conference school should be in the BCS Title game or any of the BCS bowls.....yes, I think any BCS school sad about a non-BCS school entering the tournament needs to STFU.

Indiana and Penn State just started.
Personally, Indiana's better than their record, but even the hardest of hardcore Hoosier fans (yeah, they exist in football) can predict the outcome.
Well, Indiana, so far, is leading 3-0 and currently have the ball

Huskers up 7-0, and with Kansas St.'s loss earlier today, they control their own destiny.
Excellent pass from Lee to Paul, for once.

21-7 Stanford over USC. Stanford undefeated at home this year, just dismantled Oregon, and now whooping USC in LA. This is one quality team.

Terrible horse collar call against Iowa.
And with that, TD Ohio State.

How is Stanford not ranked?

Had a pretty good feeling that Stanford would pound us. Our defense is nothing to write home about this year--great potential, but don't know how to work together yet.

How is Stanford not ranked? I think they were at one point this year when they were 4-1, but they had two back to back Pac 10 losses and dropped back to the pack. They're ranked 25 in one of the polls this week.

Iowa's wide receivers are costing them this game right now, odd as that sounds.

God Notre Dame is going to get slaughtered when they play Stanford in Palo Alto in 2 weeks. Hopefully it's Charlie's last game

Boise State is tired of hearing about how they're playing down to their competition. They've already hung 35 points in the 2nd quarter against Idaho.

Both Iowa and Ohio State are proving my point that you never really know who the best team in the Big Ten is, which is what hurts their conference alot.
