My game day thoughts.......

[SeattleUte]

You lost me. What do you mean?

If OSU beats Oregon then they'll have to find a spot for USC someplace and potentially reduce Utah's place in the pecking order as far as available bowls are concerned. If OSU loses, they're out of the picture and the Pac 10 has only one BCS team.

ah, ok.

So you still think the BCS bowls want to pick the non-BCS autobid before other BCS at large teams?

Got it. Well, good luck to you in that.

I have stated before....the Utes (or ANY non-BCS school) will be picked either last or second to last. And the game will most likely have the worst ratings of all 5 BCS games. At best, it will have the second worst ratings.

You may be right, which only makes all the more sense that Ute fans should root for OSU. However, I think Utah will be picked before the Big East or ACC champion.

If West Virginia wins the Big East they will be picked before Utah. You can put that in your sig line.

If Florida State wins the ACC or Va Tech they will both be picked over Utah as well.

I meant to say root for Oregon.

The ACC winner will be picked before Utah ... they have a tie in with Orange bowl. In fact its not a pick its a lock.

And this is exactly why I hate the BCS. It is not about finding a true champion, but about the number of tv sets in a geographical area. Always has been and always will be.

Yeah... that's right. ... that's what I meant. That's the ticket. It's so funny that you think I don't know that.

[SeattleUte]

Seriously, if conferences like the Big East and the ACC have locked bids what's the significance of saying Utah will be picked last or next to last? Neither of those champions will be "picked." 0 significance. It's just gratuitously mean.

it is reality.

if there were no auto-bids, Utah would not be playing in a BCS bowl, they would be playing in Vegas.

Why do you think an autobid rule was written in? It forces the bowls to do that which they otherwise would not want to do.

Next year when we have a Senior QB in our stadium putting the clincher on a fantastic year by beating them in RES I don't plan on being accomodating like I have been in the past.

Sorry to sound like your Young Men advisor, but that makes it sound like you have have decided to become part of the problem yourself now, rather than part of the solution.

The big east champ gets into a game but they aren't tie in to a bowl

Pac-10 and Big 10 - Tied in to Rose Bowl
Big 12 Tied in to Fiesta Bowl
SEC Tied in to Sugar Bowl
ACC Tied in to Orange Bowl
Big East must be selected
Non BCS team that finish under 12 must be selected

I fixed it for you.

Dang. (c:



Not justifying, just explaining.

And it's attitudes like this will ensure there will always be a baby to kick you in the head and someone to throw crap at my brother.

Or will better magic coins fix it?

Gee I hadn't thought of any of that...

Turnabout is fair play and quite frankly they will have earned it coming back to them in spades.

I do not plan on being a gracious host next year.
