***College Football 2012 Bowl Thread***
The CFB Bowl selections are tonight, 8:30 on ESPN.
Reason I started this thread... New York Times' Pete Thamel is reporting that a source tells him Northern Illinois slipped into the top 16 and will play in the Orange Bowl against Florida State. ESPN's BCS guru Brad Edwards says he thinks NIU is in too. Either way, bowl selections are starting to leak this afternoon. |
Oklahoma is out. Sad.

Pete Thamel ?@SIPeteThamel
BREAKING: Northern Illinois vs Florida State is official in the Orange Bowl, according to a source. |
I think that's awesome, although I don't think it's going to end well for them.
I wasn't sure they were going to make it, thought (ironically) that they might end up just outside the bubble thanks to Boise State. |
I didn't think they'd make it either... but they probably have a better shot than Kent State would have. NIU has a dual threat QB who can at least cause some havoc out there.

It's official: K-State has received and accepted an invitation to play in the 2013 Tostitos @FiestaBowl against Oregon on Jan. 3. #kstate |

Looks like Georgia is going to get Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl. From five yards away from the national championship game to the Capital One Bowl.

So long as the Cats play K-State football and not try to match Oregon's offense attempting to play Oregon ball. Otherwise it will be Baylor all over again. |
Hoping my Sun Devils get the Las Vegas Bowl and not the Albuerqueque Bowl.

The ACC should finally have an Orange Bowl opponent they can beat.
I'm sure the OB is thrilled about this. Nothing against NI but that's not a game I'm remotely interested in watching. Their inclusion is a joke. They beat no one of substance and in fact lost to a 4 win Big Ten also ran (Iowa). I caught some that MAC CCG and to put it bluntly they stink. |
I was actually looking forward to Oklahoma vs Florida.

What a joke.
Imagine this... #1 Notre Dame vs #8 Stanford -- the rematch #2 Alabama vs #7 LSU -- uh, the rematch #3 Georgia vs #6 Kansas State #4 Florida vs #5 Oregon Probably another all-SEC NC game, but head and shoulders above this crap. |

#1 ND vs #4 Ore
#2 Ala vs #3 Fla The best team in the country is one of those 4. Probably #2 or #3. #5 got bombed by an also ran and dutifully exposed relatively speaking. Not that we need to worry about that. Don't forget to set your DVR for what should be an epic OB! Not to mention what it does to the Sugar Bowl, swapping out what would be Fla/OU for Fla/Louisville <--------zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The BCS is a laughingstock. |

I can't believe it is 40 days away
Bama vs ND..that is crazy |
KU cost the Big 12 millions.

Defense is not my main concern. My concern is playing the ball control offense that will limit UO's high powered offense's opportunities. We got away from that for a few games, and it eventually cost us. |

It seems like we ask this every week of every season but, HTF does Texas continue to be ranked in the BCS?

****ing Kansas teams... |

Really amazed S Illinois got a BCS bid. That is a team that got beat by the worst Iowa team in over a decade, and barely beat a 1 win Kansas team. They are not good. The Boise States of the world at least passed the eye test but the Salukis look mediocre.

I don't really blame him. It's Northern Ill. No one knows who they are. What do you think they draw....15kish to most games. Couldn't be more irrelevant. |

But yeah, they're pretty irrelevant. |
Jesus ****. Northern Illinois might be the worst team to EVER make a BCS Bowl.

Kirk Herbstreit- "NIU lost to Iowa, the worst team in the Big10."

Louisiana Tech screwed themselves out of a bowl game by not immediately accepting their Independence Bowl offer.

Being in the Orange Bowl means NIU must purchase 17,500 tickets. NIU's average attendance for the season was 15,670.

Also, shouldn't the B1G have to forfeit their auto bid this year since their best teams are ineligible? It doesn't seem right that a neutered conference should still be treated the same as if they were intact.
If a team that would have otherwise qualified to compete in the title game can't because they are ineligible, the auto bid should go away. If the Rose Bowl still wants Wisconsin, they could grab them as an at large. |

Congrats to the Mildcats for making the BCS. You guys got screwed last year so nice to see Old Balls force the issue this season.
OU vs. A&M in the Cotton is going to be a great matchup. How pissed are FSU fans? They had to play a poor 6-6 Ga Tech team in the ACC championship, and their reward for winning is the right to play a poor Northern Illinois team in the Orange Bowl. I bet ticket sales will be amazing for that thrilling matchup... Not many interesting matchups this year and a ton of crap teams playing bowl games. I hope the playoff and selection committee beginning in 2014 will finally start matching the best teams up against each other. |
Quote:
It's insane. Let's imagine this scenario for a moment: The final rankings go something like this: Alabama Oregon USC Florida Stanford LSU Oklahoma Texas KSU Georgia West Virginia South Carolina Louisville Your playoff would be Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma, Louisville. What does that solve? |
the SEC Champ game was probably the best game I've seen in a decade; maybe ever.
I can't wait for the title game. |
