Sorry to be a bit late to the party, but it confuses me why my school (Toledo) didn't get into a bowl game where Ohio, a team with the same overall and worse in-conference record (Toledo 5-3, Ohio 4-4), got into one. Is it because of Toledo's last game, a loss to Akron, or was it outside forces? Probably the bowl researched and figured Ohio was more attractive in terms of ticket sales and tv rating compared to Toledo. To me, that would be confusing. Toledo's one of the higher attended teams in the MAC (only Northern Illinois has more attendance), and while Ohio U's market is bigger (Huntington, WV) than Toledo's it isn't by all that much. Having had some time to think about it, I believe that the biggest reason that Toledo didn't get in was because they may have been either asking for too much or Ohio was more attractive in terms of cost to the bowl runners.

This whole thing is almost like a soap opera.

Mack Brown says nothing has changed for him. Mack BrownThis part I found a little interesting... "While nothing officially has been announced regarding Brown's future with Texas, the school already has a short list of candidates to replace him. It includes San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, sources told ESPN Senior NFL Insider Chris Mortensen."

Damn, I was hoping that Saban would have to fight Mack to get him out of his office

I know he is safe for now, but a couple of weeks ago some friends and I were talking about Muschamp and UF. I booked a wrestling style angle that would draw for yrs. Muschamp gets sacked bc Florida steals the head ball coach back. In retaliation S.Carolin. signs Tebow as a QB coach and University ambassador. The heat would be tremendous. They'd have to play that game at Daytona.

I honestly (almost) feel sorry for Alabama fans with this. Either Saban is leaving for Texas or it turns out that he's basically holding Bama hostage for more money.

So what team would you guys say was the most disappointing this year? Was it Florida? Northwestern? TCU? Michigan? Another team?

At the risk of sounding like I'm trolling, Alabama would be in the conversation as well. A lot of people had crowned them champs halfway into the season. I think Texas could also be considered.

To throw gasoline on the fire, Saban is NOT at the awards tonight. As much as he supposedly loves McCarron, this is a bit interesting.
I'll give Saban credit on not doing a damn thing to end the 'Saban to Texas' rumors.

I gotta go Northwestern for most disappointing.
They come off 10-wins, finally winning a bowl game... and they win only ONE Big 10 game?!

Teams that did exactly as I predicted: Ohio st, Oregon, A&M(sux to have been right), Alabama, Arkansas and Notre Dame, all lost when I said they would and as often as I thought they would.
