Emerald Bowl: SC vs. BC

Boo on that. Who does BYU get now the Beavers? Awesome.

[BoylenOver]

So Utah will play Kal in the Poinsettia Bowl?

Correct.

Fire, then beat, Ludwig!

As one final punishment for this disappointing season, SC players will spend Christmas in a hotel in San Francisco.

So I am guessing you'd much rather see them in LV against BYU now don't you.

So what's it going to be, Triplet? Vegas on Dec 22, Frisco on Dec 26, or both?

SD would have been ideal. one hour drive.

I am glad they are not playing BYU. That would not have been enjoyable.

Pete Thamel, the CFB blogger for the New York Times, is reporting Iowa/GaTech to Orange and Boise/TCU to Fiesta.

Vegas for sure. That one is not a problem

The 26 will simply depend on the availability of flights. It is a horrible day for a bowl game, but not a bad day for flying since everyone is shopping.

The actual matchup isn't awful...BC is a decent team. But the whole prospect is very disappointing.

Playing the Utes in SD would have been way better....close drive, opponent has relevance on this board, etc.

I wonder if GP still feels the way he did about the BCS bowl system. That's horrible. So now we get essentially last year's Poinsettia Bowl all over again minus a few backs.

This is a chicken-poo move on the part of the bowls.

However, the anti-BCS movement took another huge hit today. First time that 2 busters are admitted to the party in the same year.

How many times has the Big East, Big 10, Pac 10, or ACC had 2 teams in the BCS in the same year?

A lot.

[HuskyFreeNorthwest]

A lot.

I believe the last time the P10 had 2 teams was 2000, Oregon State Fiesta and Washington Rose.

I am not sure that is a lot.

You're saying this like TCU and BSU are in the same conference. We're looking at 8 teams from one half of D-1, and 2 teams from the other half.

I wanted to fact check my 'a lot' statement. I was right.

98-99 Wisconsin and Ohio State (SEC had two teams)
99-00 Wisconsin and Michigan (SEC had two teams)
00-01 Oregon State and Washington (Pac-10 only conference with 2 teams)
01-02 Big XII and SEC each had 2 teams
02-03 Washington State and USC / Iowa and Ohio State
03-04 Michigan and Ohio State (Big XII had two teams)
04-05 Big XII had two teams
05-06 Ohio State and Penn State
06-07 Ohio State and Michigan (SEC had two teams)
07-08 Illinois and Ohio State (Big XII had two teams)
08-09 Ohio State and Penn State (SEC had two teams)

DDD wasn't just talking Pac-10. He was talking everyone else but Big XII and SEC.
