BCS/Bowl Game Selection Shows Open Thread

It's early, but not sure when the site is going to be up or not, so while there's a window, I'm getting it in. If the hits crash it, could be a really short open thread.  But discuss the Michigan Bowl (which will probably be known for sure before the show...if it's not already), and any othre bowl games on ESPN's coverage tonight, starting about an hour away.  (By then the 504 errors will hopefully be done).

Brad Edwards says Michigan vs. Va Tech or Boise St.

 

Kansas St. and TCU have to be PISSED.

After the BCS selection glow, I expect to chat about the other bowl match-ups as they're announced and discussed on the next program tonight. 

To answer your question...OSU can have a losing record if they fail in the bowl game...plus a little pre-Meyer Florida revenge?  Pretty easy. Though rooting for Florida isn't. But then, I managed to pretty easily in the 2007 bowl game after the 2006 season.

Yikes.

We didn't think the Big Ten was strong to begin with...and the match-ups are getting even more brutal than imagined. This could be a rough road for the B10.  We might be the best chance for a victory, and that's no guarantee.

Nobody familiar with UM's bowl history since Jan. 1, 1970 should ever—EVER—figure a victory is guaranteed, regardless of who the opponent is. We've been snakebit in bowls more than any other program in college football since that day.

Agreed. It's a joke.

TCU, Boise St., Kansas St all have arguments over Va Tech. The simple fact that it's the poor ACC is enough to make you laugh.

With that said, I'll take it. TCU and Boise worry me in one game situations with those two coaches. Va Tech, I just think they're overrated. And they come with the BCS AQ tag which is nice.

Don't underestimate Georgia. Underrated, and has the potential to give l'il bro all it can handle.

And what's bad for Sparty is bad for the B1G. And what's bad for the B1G only serves to weaken our bowl bids in the future.

I expect Georgia to manhandle MSU.  They are big inside on both sides of the ball and are solid offensively.  Despite my best efforts to root for the B1G, I find it increasingly difficult to root for OSU / MSU, and probably won't be in this match up either.

 


And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know it’s going to be Michigan again. Michigan!
