Who are you rooting for, part deux

Same here coach. Just tell the truth. We believe we can make more money using the current system even though we know that a playoff would determine a true National Champion.

Congrats to 'NOVA on a tough win last nite

For all you folks who think OSU is gunna beat Oregon, I'm taking all comers. CD and I already have a high stakes bet going.

But before you agree to a bet, might want to look at how the two teams fared against common opponents.

Hint: Oregon used USC to mop up the rain puddles (which were mixed with Trojan tears) and also edged out Purdue. The Buckeyes lost to both.

And the Bucks don't have a quality win on their record, except for those so ridiculously overrated Hawkeyes.

All bets are ON!

I know that the NBA is thinking of legalizing betting on their games but it is legal here on the HSBBWEB ?

Well, I am pretty sure that the bet CD and I have going is legal. If I win, he uses a Duck logo for his avatar for a week, and if he wins, I use a Buckeye.

I think CD is in serious trouble!

I agree - the Big 10 is a joke, tOSU is a joke (no offense because my animosity stems from the BCS).

Oregon by 14.

I see you're Mountain West, so you have to be happy for Wyoming's win in the New Mexico Bowl. Kind of a roller coaster fourth quarter and OT. Glad to see the Cowboys come back and win.

My son (longsapper) was HS teammate of PK Ian Watts. They keep in touch online. We've had fun following him and Wyoming this season. Their QB is fantastic.

Here's a nice story about Ian.

You are right. I was very pleased with Wyoming's win. My mother-in-law graduated from there. I hope the MWC can go 5-0, especially pulling for Utah and TCU.

Great story about Watts. Gotta be some adjustment, Philly to Cheyenne. Definitely a different culture.
Has he said anything about that adjustment?

He's home for Christmas. He was at school today. He told my son it's a little different, but he loves everything there- the school, the location, the people and, of course, the fresh air. I think football helped him assimilate.

He said they're getting rings, too. We're really happy for him. He's a nice kid. Quiet, but confident. My son said 'he must like it out there, because he put spurs on his Air Jordans.'

I forgot. He's also amazed by the 30,000 fans that come to the games.

First bowl game in 30 years....

TEMPLE OWLS!

How about my Dawgs last night?! Go you hairy Dogs!

I must admit that the first half of this game was probably the most boring game I've EVER seen! LOL.

I'm so glad that Joe Cox is graduating!

And how come Bowling Green wears orange?

Actually not truly rooting but TRULY enjoying some great bowl football today

Cannot wait for tonites game between The Gators and The Bearcats to see who is more focused and ready

Nonetheless it has simply been some great football today

Great Rose Bowl game--wow

Right on...TRhit!

Did anyone see the field conditions today during the LSU - Penn State game? Holy smokes!

I have NEVER, EVER seen a field in that horrible condition before. It looked like land mines had gone off all over the field cow pasture.

Did they ever say during the game why?

YGD


Same conditions for both teams

Congrats to Ohio State--great win


Now--lets go CINNCY !!@@!@

TR, I'm not debating that one team had an advantage over the other due to the conditions. That's a no brainer.

I was asking if anyone saw the field upon which team played and how terrible it looked.

p.s. Cincinnati doesn't stand a chance against Florida!

How stupid does the BCS poll with Cincy rated above TCU look now? They need to pull the Big East automatic birth and give it to the Mountain West...4-0 in bowl games this year so far.

I'm embarassed for Cincy.

Can you say remake of the Georgia vs. Hawaii Sugar Bowl?

This is embarrassing.

I have rooted for UC just because I have a lot of friends that are fans and connected to UC. I sure didn't expect a blow out like this. Although I'm happy for Tebow to go out like this.

I'm losing a lot of respect for Urban Meyer. Why are his starters still in...specifically Tebow...and still passing almost every play. No class.

WE NEED PLAY OFFS!

I totally disagree with this. The Big East is down this year but overall it's a good conference. That being said Florida is MUCH better than UC and the SEC is still probably the best conference if not the second best.

If you want to have someone lose their automatic bid then look at the Big 10 and the ACC in the past 5 years. The ACC is getting much better quickly but I'm not seeing much improvement in the Big 10.

Here is the alltime records of each conference according to www.bcsfootball.org

SEC 2 - 0 1.00
PAC 10 12 - 5 .706
Big East 6 - 5 .545
Big 12 7 - 9 .438
Big 10 8 - 11 .421
ACC 2 - 9 .182

The best % lies with the MWC but they only have a 2 - 0 record.

The WAC is the next non-BCS conference at 1 - 1 and the independents are 0 - 3.

This tells me a couple of things

1. The SEC is hands down the best
2. The Big East is a pretty good conference overall
3. The Big 10 and ACC have been terrible in years past
4. The BCS conferences have a monoply based on the fact only 7 games have had non-BCS schools
5. A playoff is needed

UC is not a bad team but they weren't of the same caliber as Florida. I like what Brian Billick said during the game (not sure if this is word for word) "I can see why Cincy is a top team but it does make me wonder just how good Alabama is"
