12.08.08 YOUR BOWL MATCHUPS ARE PRETTY GOOD
So the matchups for all 368 bowls were announced last night; your BCS Title Game correctly pairs Big 12 champion Oklahoma with SEC winner Florida. The great state (cough) of Ohio is sending two teams to BCS bowls (Big Ten co-champ Ohio State will play Texas in the Fiesta Bowl, and Big East winner Cincinnati will play in the Orange Bowl against ACC winner Virginia Tech). Rounding out the BCS pairings are Penn State and USC in the Rose Bowl and upstart Mountain West champion Utah versus Alabama in the Sugar Bowl.
WAC champ Boise State finished 12-0 and got totally hosed by the BCS, settling for a bid to the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl, to take on TCU. Notre Dame is going to get lei’d, two of the service academies received postseason bids, and you can see the rest here. Maybe someday that link will be to a wonderful playoff bracket that we can fill out and pretend to follow. Put that on your Christmas list…your 2014 Christmas list.

Better lei’d than lei’d off.
Or worse…wei’d.

I will be participating in the Bong Bowl.

Don’t give the Japs any ideas. A Wies Bomb could destroy the world.

Ball State actually finished 12-1. They got their asses handed to them by Buffalawl 42-24. They only hosed themselves.
Oops, I read Boise as Ball. Damn Freud.
You picked Ball State as the only team with a gripe and they lost to Buffalo. Boise State had an equally tough schedule. Hey, there are high schools that are undefeated. Why don’t you promote them as well.
Whoo! Yah!! I’m so stoked for Bowl Games! I’m ready for them! Wait, it’ll be three weeks before any of the ones that matter are played? Oh, well, that’s a pretty long time to wait to see a definitive set of final standings to know how good each team is, but I’m still somewhat excited. What? The bowl system doesn’t do that? Oh, well…um…college football sucks.
I for one am excited about the holiday tradition of watching an overrated Ohio State team get annihilated by a much superior team in a BCS bowl game.
I believe Bart would call it Craptacular,
seriously how does Ohio State end up in the BCS again?
