Think they'll offer TCU a +1 game or hide away with their meaningless crystal football? Personally I think they are going to hide as they know TCU would beat them.

id like to see Stanford in that mix and see how it would play out. but with Cam still being under investigation due to his jackass of a dad...its possible that they might lose the trophy.

I did not watch a single bowl game up until last nights Championship game this year. I have decided that instead of watching the bowl games and whining about the system I will just not watch them or pay attention to the system. Yesterdays title game is the first one in a half dozen plus years I have watched, and I only watched it last night because some people from across the hall wanted to come over and watch it. If you do not like the system, then stop supporting the system. If people stopped going to these games and stopped feeding money into the system it would change; as it is now though they keep raising profits, you don't change what works and obviously from a financial viewpoint the current system works.

This article kind of sums it up. This title game drew in record tv ratings, that is not the kind of stuff that is going to motivate change. Now imagine what some of the powers that be would be dealing if this was a record low cable viewing instead. They would have to at least think about the potential of changing the system.

You act like Cam really didn't know... He knew and he was part of the negotiations. Auburn will lose the trophy and Cam is probably already talking to Reggie Bush about what the proper procedure is for returning his heisman.

of course i think he knew, but the way i understand it...he is under investigation due to his fathers actions not his. if they find him guilty in this matter, i would like to see the punishment follow him to the NFL...and be severe.

Not really false BCS champs. They are in fact BCS champs.

Best champs money can buy!

But lets be honest here, do you think that Oregon would have been there without all the Nike money?


..and Amendial, lets be honest here as well, you didn't watch any bowl games because it was basketball season at ku by like.. October 1.

I have not watched more than one bowl game a season for many years now. They just do not interest me, I guess I fail to see the point of them for the most part. A 7-6 team playing a 7-6 team for what? Some long winded wired named bowl trophy. I can see some meaning in the BCS bowl games, but not the other 857 bowl games.

Welcome to the non-basketball fan's problem with "March Madness", after the first weekend or two, does a casual fan keep watching?

i know i havent paid much attention since Bob Knight left Indiana...kinda took the punch out of the program. Indiana was going down hill and really wasnt competitive, but still had hope. since then, really only pay attention to key games and havent followed it like i used too.


hopefully one day, ill get the fever again...it also just hurts that players only stay for a few years then bolt...i hate this aspect, but i understand its the nature of the beast.
