I mean I figured we'd get a not great bowl selection, but I was was expecting the Meineke Car Care Bowl at least... I mean for awhile it was simply a joke that we'd have to go to that one, and then we got passed over for it. Womp. Thanks for being so nice about it though. And good luck! As bad as it would be for the Big 10 if UF won, I am pretty well conditioned at this point to root for any team facing OSU.

No, it shows a bias towards Saban. The SEC has been decided. What is the point of replaying LSU v Alabama? LSU is the SEC champion. LSU is the SEC West Champion. In what way could Alabama be the National Champion just by beating LSU in one game? Oklahoma St is the Champion of another conference, so if they beat LSU in a NC championship setting, there would be none of these complications, though the AP would still likely split the title. Dumb.

Agree.

The BCS Selection show is a joke! It's taken 2 hours and they aren't finished yet!!

(I had to look up where the TicketCity Bowl is...aka The Cotton Bowl.

Nope, the Cotton Bowl is still alive and well. It's just a non BCS bowl now.

Montee Ball was selected as a Heisman finalist! I'm so happy for him! He found out on his twenty-first birthday too, which just made that day more perfect.

I was reading SI today and this made me laugh:

"Mr. Mandel, I am new (legal) citizen from foreign country, learning English and American sport. Please explain me how team can be national champion but not conference or division champion. In my country thing like this do not happen.
-- Chartah Varhta, Akron, Ohio
I can't possibly explain it, but this may be the most insightful summation of the BCS I've ever seen."

"Baylor we are, and Baylor we will always be." My freshman year, our team went 4-8 and no one thought we had a chance. Everything has changed in these four short years, and I'm happy to have called myself a fan throughout it all. Sic 'em Bears and congratulations to RGIII!

Happy he won! I was pulling for him and Andrew Luck.

As long it wasn't that rodent from LSU

Hey! That "rodent" from LSU is an amazing football player that no one expected to even be invited to the Heisman Awards. BTW, Honey Badgers are not rodents.
