Won't matter next year....8 teamsAzubuike24;1683311 wrote:In the defense of the Big XII, they just need to step out a PLAY SOMEONE in the non-conference. Their league structure (10 teams, all teams play each other once) works out very well to crown a true champ. They just need to ensure they set up some big match-ups at the end of the season, or really pad their wins early on.
If either Baylor of TCU had a win over another top 10-15 team in the non-conference, I guarantee they would be getting more consideration than they are, because Ohio State's body of work isn't great at all.
I don't see it. Houston is an old SWC school. It's the biggest market in the state. Sure, there are other Texas teams, but the arguments for Houston vs Cincinnati are the same. Cincinnati is a pro market with solid HS football. Houston is the same...with more tradition and more geographical ties. I guess you could make an argument for both of them and not Boise. UC would have a geographical rivalry with WVU, where nobody else does. Houston would have the same with Texas.Fly4Fun;1683337 wrote:Houston gives the Big 12 another Texas team? Oh joy. Cincinnati gives them a much bigger geographic footprint and just as good if not a better program as of late.
So you are proving that my post was accurate? It is still a rule unless a waiver is submitted....Ironman92;1683346 wrote:This was just said to NOT BE the final answer.....just said on ESPN the Big 12 would just have to apply for a special waiver to have a championship game and more than likely would be approved.
Yeah....I was dumb for saying the BIg 12 should have a championship and you asked me how dumb I was because I didn't know they weren't allowed because of the rules.slingshot4ever;1683353 wrote:So you are proving that my post was accurate? It is still a rule unless a waiver is submitted....
ND by 7...yes, they're struggling, but LSU suckssherm03;1683793 wrote:Notre Dame vs. LSU in the Music City Bowl on 12/30.
I'm going to say LSU by at least 17 in that one. And no sleeper, I will not enjoy this bowl loss.
LSU is pretty terrible. Wouldn't surprise me to see ND only lose by 14.sherm03;1683793 wrote:Notre Dame vs. LSU in the Music City Bowl on 12/30.

The injuries to ND's defense will be what does them in. I'm predicting at least 3 Everett Golson turnovers, and ND's defense won't be able to stop anything. It will be an ugly one.vball10set;1683811 wrote:ND by 7...yes, they're struggling, but LSU sucks
I thought they changed the name of the Military Bowl to the Snooze Bowl.Con_Alma;1683817 wrote:It's sounding like Cincinnati will play Va Tech in the Military Bowl at the U.S. Naval Academy.

Yep, not surprised. Barrett will get his chance.lhslep134;1684226 wrote:Mariota, Gordon, and Cooper
Saw on Twitter that it will likely be the biggest differential ever, which is currently held by Troy Smith. Ironically it could be because of what Ohio State did to Melvin Gordon on Saturday.vball10set;1684235 wrote:They might as well engrave the trophy with Mariota's name...it won't even be close.
Hell, most of the bowl games could be changed to the snooze bowl.sleeper;1683848 wrote:I thought they changed the name of the Military Bowl to the Snooze Bowl.
I agree. The most meaningless college football bowl is better than a lot of the alternatives when it comes to sports viewing during the winter. Until conference season starts, the vast majority of CBB games can be dud match-ups, while regular season NBA and NHL is an exercise in tedium.FatHobbit;1684620 wrote:I may be the only one, but I love bowl season. There's football on all the time. The more the merrier I say, because in a couple of weeks there won't be any more until next year.
