WJMorris3 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Doing a legitimate look at the bowls as they probably stand right now...NCG is SEC leader Florida and Big XII leader Texas.Pac-10 leader Oregon and Big Ten leader Iowa automatically go to the Rose Bowl, ACC leader Georgia Tech goes to the Orange Bowl.At-larges MUST be given to TCU, the highest-ranked of the non-AQ conferences, and Alabama, as #3 in the BCS. And we need to find a home for Big East leader Cincinnati.The eligible teams for consideration for the last two at-large spots are: Boise State, Penn State, USC, Pittsburgh, Utah.Sugar Bowl gets first choice, and they take Alabama. Then the Fiesta gets a choice, and they'd take USC. Orange's selection would be USC, then Fiesta takes Cincy, then Sugar is left with TCU.To recap:NCG: #1 Florida (SEC) v #2 Texas (Big XII)Rose: #4 Iowa (Big Ten v #8 Oregon (Pac 10)Sugar: #3 Alabama (at-large/AQ) v #6 TCU (at-large/AQ)Fiesta: #12 USC (at-large) v #5 Cincinnati (Big East)Orange: #10 Georgia Tech (ACC) v #11 Penn State (at-large) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Anyone who thinks USC is going to BCS bowl obviously did not watch Saturday's game at all. If you watched that along with Notre Dame along with following USC this year, you realize that their defense is getting worse and worse every game. It's playing out perfectly for one of those years where UCLA beats them. With the way their defense is playing, there is a strong possibility with the teams they have left on their schedule, they could go 0 for the rest of the season and finish out at 6-6. This defensively is not a good team. If you think USC is or can win out, then you need to watch USC and see how 1-2 loses are 90% going to happen. Their defense is on par with Iowa's which is very bad. I think what's hurting USC is all the coaches that have moved on and there's little continuity in the program. Assistant coaches are jumping for head coaching jobs left and right and that consistency in the coaching staff is what made them so good. It's not that Pete Carroll became a bad coach, it's just there's been change. It's the same thing with Notre Dame, it's not like Charlie Weiss became a great coach, it's just there's consistency in the program with the coaches and players who have been there for 3-4 years and all that practice now with a mature QB is taking an average program into a winning program along with the schedule.

NJTank Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 USC's BCS chances are done. Two Pac-10 loses one to Oregon, that means Oregon will have to lose two Pac-10 games for them to even get the Pac-10 spot. www.sportsecyclopedia.com For the best in sports history go to the Sports E-Cyclopedia at http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few seasons ago we were thisclose to seeing West Virginia play Missouri in the BCS title game. With all of the undefeated smaller teams left this season, at least one of them is bound to go undefeated. And Alabama, Texas, and Florida could very easily drop a game or two.

tBBP Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Somebody explain this ish to me...how tha eff do you "suspend" somebody for half a game? Apparently, Urban Meyer, in all his disciplinary wisdom, decided to do just that to Brandon Spikes, for (attempting to) gouge somebody's eye out in this past weekend's game versus UGA.Seriously...you don't "suspend" someone for "half a game"...that doesn't even make sense. That ain't a suspension...that's just a "benching". I don't care what kind of contrived explanation he or anyone in Gator Nation might try to come up with that half-assed "disciplinary action", I'll make it short, sweet, and simple: Meyer ain't have the balls to sit Spikes down the whole game for fear of losing a key player on defense and the bigger fear of losing a game, thus ruining their perfect season and their earmarked spot atop the BCS. Pure and simple, in my eyes. *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win out, they will most likely be in the top 10 mayyyyybe even top 8.There is too much money to be made by having USC in a BCS Bowl. And we all know the BCS at-larges are all about the revenue.If the Fiesta Bowl can get the most popular college team on the West Coast to come to their bowl and bring their legion of fans, they will do it.Here is the schedule@ ASUvs Stanfordvs UCLAvs ArizonaThe only team that should give USC any trouble is Arizona, and they get them in the Coliseum. ASU and Stanford should roll over pretty easily. UCLA will everything they've got at USC, but they are faulty at many more levels than SC is. Then it comes to #20 Arizona.USC's schedule is favorable for them. The computers may not be as high on them, but the human element of the poll will always love USC.And the Bowl Commishes love USC's money. | ANA | LAA | LAR | LAL | ASU | CSULB | USMNT | USWNT | LAFC | OCSC | MAN UTD | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me quote Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend." Texas still has A&M and Alabama still has Auburn. Florida, really has no competition until the SEC Championship. South Carolina is just a name because Spurrier is the coach (and really needs to be fired). FIU is well, FIU; and Florida State just is lifeless. I can't see FSU being able to stop Florida enough to win... or at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmike Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 28 Years and counting , but I happen to agree if it came down to a team who is 12-0 and an 11-1 team, i'd rather see an undefeated team in the National Championship, if Notre Dame happens to be that team, they are the better team in my eyes.I kind of agree with Will here, I mean with this theory, Boise State, Hawaii, and Utah should have been in the National Championship for the past 3 years. Because the past 3 National Champions have had at least one loss Florida '06 (12-1, Boise State went undefeated that year I believe), LSU '07 (11-2, First 2 loss NC and they were still better then an undefeated Hawaii team that got demolished by Georgia), Florida '08 (12-1, Utah went undefeated and beat Alabama who was #1 most of the season).EDIT- Oops, I was replying to an argument that was a couple pages back oh well.
