Well I see the BCS is up to its old tricks. Pick a non-BCS team first (Boise), then get everyone to pass on TCU so they are matched together.
I'm sure that Iowa-GT game will be a snooze.

wait is TCU really playing boise? That's the biggest piece of ever. How ridiculous. That's completely awful. Everyone wants to see these little guys upset the big BCS teams. How do they not get this right.

Yeah really, who wants to watch Iowa-GT? Even though they would have been blow outs, pairing Boise and TCU with one of those teams would have at least made it compelling. They just dont want BOTH non BCS teams to be undefeated at the end, because, like Utah last year, you could argue they could still be National champions etc, etc. Yet again the BCS produces some great match ups . Ill watch cincy/fla hoping for the upset, tcu/boise because that should be like a 65-72 game, and bama trounce texas. Hopefully the voters will give TCU and Boise credit preseason next year to give them a lower barrier to climb

Didn't TCU and Boise State play last year in a Bowl Game as well? Unless it's a National Championship game--what is the point of the rematch? Ridiculous.
Florida got a team they'll murder--Kelly having one eye on ND job and that won't help his team. Bearcat Defense sucks and they'll get slaughtered by the Crying Tebows.
Say it every year--the bowls have gone to hell with the conference affiliations and the matchups more often then not provide terrible games with non interesting teams which we know about. Sorry--but seeing Oklahoma State and Ole Miss in Cotton for what seems like the 8th year in a row sucks. Michigan State in the Alamo Bowl with 9-11 suspended players? Minnesota who barely beat South Dakota State for their "bowl qualifying win" against Iowa State?
Just awful and something needs to be done to at least seed the BCS so 1 plays 2, 3 vs 4, etc....because this stuff sucks.

Am I the only one who thinks Bama-TCU would be better than Bama-Texas? I'm no expert, but...

Hopefully the voters will give TCU and Boise credit preseason next year to give them a lower barrier to climb That's why TCU and Boise are in BCS games this year. Utah's win over Bama last year allowed those two to start higher up this year. If you remember, last year there was a question as to whether or not Utah would make a BCS game (and Boise was given no shot). I don't think there's going to be a similar "bump" next year. I think the championship game is always going to take two undefeated bcs schools over an undefeated non-BCS school.

This is an overreaction, but I feel like people in Communist countries who know that the news that they're getting is an absolute and total fraud and that the beet harvest didn't smash the previous year's record. It's BS, and yet they're selling it like it's not.

Is anyone else as upset as i am about Suh being a senior. to see him play another year with what can only be a better Nebraska offense (could you find a major team with one worse? that's a rhetorical question). That Suh can play defense like nobody's business. The play by play guy tonight got it right, not in a very long time, if ever has a defensive tackle taken over a game like Suh did tonight. While I have always thought high draft picks are better spent on linemen and tackles over RBs and WRs (aka divas) i think this is especially the case this year I'm with you on this one. Suh deserves a much better offense than what he's gotten this year. I think I want Nebraska to start the back up QB next year - drawing a blank on his name, #17 a freshman this year. I think I've seen enough of Lee.

Brasky, this one must have hurt Mr. High Times because he usually doesn't respond like this.
Maybe Hifi's hot dog didn't turn into a bong like Gator fans expect when the "chosen one" fires up his team with a made for tv rant.
Tell you one thing:
"Nobody will ever cry with as much estrogen, and lack of perspective as I will. I can PROMISE you that you will NEVER see another player or team cry as hard as you'll see from me/my teammates. Thank You and Dad Bless".

I'm not sure I understand all the hatred for Tebow. But I guess you all got what you wanted. As for my response to Brasky, I didn't feel like getting a warning from the mods. But trust me, I had another commenr or two in mind.
P.S. RDF, I don't get the mixed metaphor with the hot dog comment. Is there something I should know about? As for that "other" thing, it's called a "water pipe." Bongs are illegal.

Look at it this way hifi. At least your team was utterly bitchslapped all day and thus suffered no heartbreak. Imagine how much it might have hurt if the Gators were even competitive.

Look at it this way hifi. At least your team was utterly bitchslapped all day and thus suffered no heartbreak. Imagine how much it might have hurt if the Gators were even competitive. I know you were meaning it as somewhat of an insult, but actually you make a good point, albeit inadvertantly. Seriously though, I don't think there's any comparison between losing on a last second play and pretty much being pushed around all game. You do kind of build yourself up for it (loss), even as you are holding out hope for a miracle comeback. As far as the game goes, I'm very disappointed, but I'm not as angry as I have been after losses. They simply outplayed us. I don't think they are better than us, but they damn sure were Saturday. My take on the game was that like most games, there are a handful of plays that ultimately make the difference in the game. Alabama players stepped up and made the key plays. Florida had the chances but couldn't get the job done. Key Plays: Aaron Hernandez dropping the ball at the one yard line. Then the ball deflected right to Deonte Thompson but he couldn't catch it either. Numerous other dropped passes: Jeff Demps dropped a swing pass with nothing but green grass for 20 or 25 yards. Riley Cooper dropped 2 big gainers. Deonte Thompson dropped about a 20 out pattern that I initially thought was defended, but it wasn't. Granted, he was a little screened by the defender, but the ball hit him squarely in both hands. If you change even one of those plays, things could be different, but you would expect to make most, if not all of those plays. Lastly, even down 19, with 11 1/2 minutes to go, the game wasn't over until the pick in the endzone. That was a bad pass from Tebow and he misread the defense as well. He read it as man and they were in Zone. I think Tebow makes that pass 99 times out of 100, but that was the one. On the other side of the ball, 2 plays in particular stood out. The screen pass after we had cut the lead to 12-10 was enormous. We had all the momentum but then bang, they caught us in a blitz and executed perfectly. Perfect blocking, perfect timing and a well done play. Lastly, McElroy tiptoed down the sideline on a crucial play that gave them a key first down. Again, I'm not making excuses. They made plays and we didn't. We had the chances but for whatever reason, we didn't get the job done.
