NCAA Football 2012 - No child rape edition

so lol at Oklahoma getting snubbed because of Northern Illinois. Orange Bowl's gonna get negative ratings for sure, but I guess people are just tired of Big Flop Bob

The Cotton Bowl is going to be a hell of a game, though. Oklahoma vs either LSU or Texas A&M.

Bowl Pick Em group is open; I'll get a full writeup once the games are actually posted, but for those who care, you can register already.

Yay, we get to beat up on Nebraska...

...I wanted Georgia/Texas. Would have been nice to play a decent team we havn't played in a while. Sigh.

[Intrinsic]

Hoping for Oregon State vs Texas, although I'd probably go to the bowl if the Beavs are in San Diego.

Hello and welcome to the NO HOMOS GETTIN' HITCHED Bowl

Couldn't have picked two better teams actually.

Oklahoma St. dropping as far down as they did in the bowls pisses me off. 7th place Big Ten vs. 3rd Place Big XII...gtfo.

At least I can claim Purdue is going to a "New Year's Day Bowl"

Just bought my tickets to the cotton bowl

[Rhinox]

I'll never get the allure of going to the game. Sure the atmosphere is amazing but the overall experience is so much better at home

At end of teleconference, Brian Kelly got the last word: "Congratulations, Nick." Alas, Nick appeared to have already hung up.

Saban is pretty much the best ever.

That was really the only match-up they could have ended up in. Carolina would be out because of Clemson, A&M was a pick for the Cotton/Outback and their QB has the media draw, Georgia wouldn't have fallen that far and they play Clemson to open next year.

Could be a good Fiesta Bowl for the first time in a long time. Gator Bowl could be good. TCU/Michigan State is a really neat matchup. USC and Ga Tech is funny. Rutgers/Virginia Tech could be a really good game too.

Not unexpected, just lame. I'm leaving town a few days before too, so I can't even go >.>

So yeah, this is what I'm coming up with for bcs/interesting big bowls:

Notre Dame (12-0) vs Alabama (12-1) BCS NCG
Kansas State (11-1) vs Oregon (11-1) Fiesta Bowl
Wisconsin (8-5) vs Stanford (11-2) Rose Bowl
Florida (11-1) vs Louisville (10-2) Sugar Bowl
Florida State (11-2) vs Boise State (10-2) Orange Bowl


Non-BCS:
Texas A&M (10-2) vs Oklahoma (10-2) Cotton Bowl
Nebraska (10-3) vs Georgia (11-2) Sun Bowl
Michigan (8-4) vs LSU (10-2) Capitol One Bowl
Clemson (10-2) vs South Carolina (10-2) Chik-fil-A Bowl .... I can definitely see something being worked out to swap LSU and SC around there.
Texas (8-4) vs Oregon State (8-3) Alamo Bowl
Baylor (7-5) vs Northwestern (9-3) Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl

I like mine better but... closeenough.jpg

It's more about the few days before and stuff than the actual game, although the game can be fun, too. Only reason I'm not going to Fiesta is because Tempe/Phoenix/Glendale area is boring as fuck if you don't drink.

Gotta wake up early to buy Rose Bowl tix tomorrow.

That graphic is the worst selective stats I have ever seen. Almost all of those teams are 7-5 with none in the top 10.

Its okay because johnny is still going to win.

a. OU will be back in top 10 after they embarrass A&M

b. not our fault playing in the SEC gets you 10 games against trash teams, while being in the big 12 7-5 is better than a 10-2 SEC team did their last year there.

[Plow]

I mean, A&M didn't even have to face the powerhouse that is Vanderbilt, which dominated an extremely similar schedule to them in pretty much the same fashion. If only they'd gotten to play Bama, they might have gone 1-2 against respectable teams, too!
