Michigan vs. Houston...Sugar Bowl?

#2

As much as I want to see both schools make a BCS bowl this matchup makes zero sense. Of course, unless literally everything goes right only two SEC teams make the BCS (a terrible rule, if you ask me), so I guess this could happen.

More ew than that? Louisville versus Clemson in the Orange Bowl. Just another year in the Big Least.

Whys it terrible? I think capping a conference at two teams is fantastic.

In a year like this where Arkansas could be left out of a BCS bowl despite finishing 5th or 6th, it's not a good rule. And considering the Big East gets a team in while the SEC doesn't get a far superior one in, it's pretty lame.

I'm on board with the be losing its auto bid, but letting a conference have three teams just isn't good for the sport even if it's the sec. Pissed with a third team not getting in? Tough, they should have finished better than third.

I don't have an opinion on the cap.

But in regards to the NC game. I don't like a 1 loss team that doesn't win its division in front of a 1 loss team that wins its conference.

There desperately needs to be a rule saying win your own conference to play for the national title.

I agree 100% that there should be a requirement that you win your own conference to play in the NC game.

As for the Sugar Bowl:

If Mich State wins out (@Northwestern @Big10ChampGame) they go to the rose bowl, and the loser of the BTCG goes to. . . . allegedly the Champs Sports game, -v- SEC#2.

IF um wins out, they will be 10-2, and not have to risk another loss in the BIG10CG, leaving them open for the Sugar. Sending the CGloser to a lesser bowl.

There are two things that sucks about this if you are MSU.

1) if you lose Conf Champ game, you are still #2 in conference, and you beat um, and they get the better bowl, against a beatable opponent.

2) losing the Conf Champ game puts you in the Champs Bowl against SEC#2, which will most likely be the #3 team IN THE COUNTRY. Ass beating.

d) friggen hate the um reputation getting them into better bowls. especially after beating them 4 years in a row.

BTW and FWIW: Im a bucknut fan this week, just to sort things out a little.

But if MSU does what they need to do, and wins out, nothing else matters. That is my bottom line.

If a playoff is ever instituted, it should be open to only and every conference champion (11 teams) with a completely random allocation of seeding and byes.

You have the wrong Orlando bowl game. SEC #2 vs Big Ten #2 is the Capital One Bowl. And, FWIW, it will, in reality, be SEC #3 in the Capital One Bowl.

An 11-team tournament would require that 5 teams receives byes, and you want to randomly seed everyone from LSU to Western Kentucky?

Maybe they should do that with March Madness. Give Kansas a totally random seed and draw. Create the possibility of the Jayhawks competing in the First Four.

BCS supporters say that the season is a playoff. If that's the case, then two teams from the same bracket should not both reach the final.

ooooooooh, yes, got my stinking "crappy bowls that you dont want to be in again" mixed up.

Im hoping MSU just does it's job and lands the Rose Bowl. From there I dont care who gets what.

I think the only scenario in which the SEC would have 3 teams is if LSU beats Arky and UGA beats LSU in the SECCG. Therefore, Bama and LSU would be #1 and #2 in the BCS rankings while UGA would take the conference champion invite.
