Any idea which network is carrying the Poinsettia Bowl? I will be missing it....hopefully it ends 3-0 for TCU.
EDIT: Answer ESPN. Last second field goal wins it for Horned Frogs....

At 17-7, I thought Oregon was not going to show up and quit watching the Holiday Bowl. Oregon 42-31 Oklahoma State. BAH!
Really surprised they scheduled the Capital One Bowl during the Rose Bowl....you had to figure most people bailed on Georgia-Michigan State in favor of the sexier matchup in Pasadena.

Which turned out to be pretty one-sided.
USC is annoyingly good.

LOL, looks like TCU should have got the invite. Their only loss was to Oklahoma, and they held the Sooners offense to almost the exact same point and yardage total as Texas (same points, 1 more total yard).

This year, the Pacific 10 conference was piss poor.
I really hope Jahvid Best returns to Cal next season.

Stupid Alabama. They bought into their own hype, and didn't think Utah was worthy of their full attention.
I hope Texas unloads and waxes the floor with the Suckeyes tonight.
Ohio State senior Class:
- Multiple losses to Penn State
- 2-1 Series loss to Texas
- 1-3 record in Bowl Games(only win was in 2005 Fiesta Bowl over Brady Quinn and Notre Dame)
- ZERO NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Love it, love it love it!!!
EDIT: 24-21 Texas...I don't think Texas really got up for this one...it was 6-3 for Ohio State at halftime!!! Very unimpressive. One of Utah/USC has a real chance to finish ahead of them.

Let me get this out:
Tebow is good enough at the college level, but to say that he's the best college QB ever, or one of the 10 best college players ever, is idiotic. He is at best, the 4th best college QB of the last 13 years behind Tommie Frazier, Matt Leinart, and Vince Young. I would also suggest that Danny Wuerffel was better.
As far as other positions go, it's not even close. Barry Sanders, Earl Campbell, Marcus Allen, OJ Simpson. I mean come on.

Well, I was actually thinking it would have been 52-19 for FLorida, so I'm quite surprised that they got shut down.....they were held to half their season average against what was supposed to be a leaky defense.
Sam I Am is nothing more than a rhythm QB. Once he gets out of sync, he just can't recover. No wonder MAtthew Stafford will be taken higher.
But he might have 3 national championships and 2 Heismans when he's finished.

One thing we learned from this bowl season: Many teams that were supposed to be good AREN'T......they're overhyped:
Georgia Tech --> Needed 300+ yards on the ground to beat the defending champions....got slightly more that half of that
Texas --> That's right.....you couldn't beat the whipping boys of the BCS until the last minute of the game. Could you beat USC? No.
Alabama --> Some might have seen right through them from the start....I actually thought they were for real. Could you beat USC? No.
Miami --> one of the best teams NOT to win a conference title?? Huh??
Penn State --> did not travel well
Oklahoma --> Ha....Ha....Ha. Could you beat USC? No.
Texas Tech --> how the hell did they score as many points as they did in the regular season? Against one of the weaker SEC defences, they were sloppy. Damn teasers.
Oklahoma State --> when it counted, they lost
Ohio State --> I hope this continues forever and ever and ever
Boise State --> Bad closers.....stumbled at first real challenge. Could you beat USC? Hahahahaha...
Ball State --> when it counted, they lost

At least I got one right...and pick that matters most too! I still think USC is better than Oklahoma though.

How are those teams picked, and do the people in charge own a map?
