Thanks to Leonadis and the 300 Spartans the world is in its proper order with a SEC team competing for the BCS Title. Thankfully Northern Illinois lost in the MAC Championship only one minnow UCF will be playing in a BCS game.

BCS Games:

Rose Bowl: Sparty vs. Stanford

Fiesta Bowl: Baylor vs UCF

Sugar Bowl: 'Bama vs OU

Orange Bowl: Clemson vs the Ohio State University

BCS Title from Pasadena: FSU vs Auburn

Most Interesting Non-BCS matchups:

Cotton Bowl: Okie State vs. Mizzou (back to the future Big 12 match up)

All those Big 10 = 12 vs. SEC match ups are pretty crappy on paper with the Big 10 = 12 so weak.

This will be the emptiest Fiesta Bowl ever. Neither of these schools travel. It was a major mistake to make the Fiesta Bowl the Big 12 champion BCS bowl instead of the Cotton Bowl. Its too far to travel, especially for small schools. And why isn’t UCF in the Orange Bowl? At least their fans would show up. Baylor against Oregon or Ohio State would have been great. Oklahoma really ends up the winner, as they get a much better match up against Alabama.

The problem was the Cotton Bowl got shut out when the BCS was formed.

OU/Bama is a great game...if, IF Bama shows up..this time, I think they do, and will pound the Sooners..

Just read a great line about the Alama Bowl..Oregon v. Texas..they're saying that this could be a BIGGER defeat for Texas than the original Alamo..LOL

Wish they could have gotten Texas/Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

They should do away with this nonsense and go back to the way it used to be: the National Champion was the winner of the Michigan - Ohio State game.

Isn’t Cowboys Stadium (now AT&T Stadium) one of the sites that will now hold the championship game with the new four-team playoff format?

The ducks should be playing bama. That is the game we all wanted to see in October. It is still the game we want to see now.

All I am saying is that Baylor, for overcoming so much to win their first Big 12 Championship and make their first BCS bowl, gets shafted in an opponent. They’re the champions, not Oklahoma, so they should get the premium opponent.

True dat. The poor ol' Cotton Bowl stadium has been home to so many games for the ages. Still home to The Red River Shootout... and maybe some Texas high school games?

Outdated, and no one doing anything to modernize it. Also located in a part of town that people don't necessarily want to travel to.

So yeah, the Cotton Bowl, where the average high temp is what, in the 40's, got left out and the Fiesta Bowl, located in sunny and warm Arizona, moved in.

You'd think that some local bazillionaire would step in and renovate and preserve the place for posterity on the condition that it have his name put on it on something. /s

I don't disagree with you, but I think in the end it will be a good think for Baylor..they should win BIG, and that will let the school continue its rise..and next year, they move into that awesome new stadium..

I think Texas has been successful for many decades simply because they got the best players from the state. That's no more...right now, Texas may be the 4th choice among recruits, after Aggies, Baylor, and even TT ( Kingsbury relates well to the kids...Brown doesn't. Rice had a great year, and SMU is getting some mojo back..

The Cotton Bowl may become “Olympic Stadium” if Dallas gets the Olympics in 2024.

“Big Tex” burning was a warm-up for Mack Brown

Don’t know if Bama will care.

The SEC teams have a tendency to not care about the Sugar Bowl, see Bama-Utah and Florida-Louisville.

It's more that they suffered a let down from failing to make the championship game.

Her'e today's bonus question: Assume we had the new 4 team format in place now. What are your 4 teams, and seed them?

It's ironic..but the final BCS ended-up getting it right, but if it was a 4 team playoff..there's a good case for 6-7 teams.

Man! I am GOOD!

If Auburn wins, that’s good for the state of Alabama, and the SEC (although I don’t really care about the latter. I’m a Bama fan).

If Auburn loses, it’s Auburn, that’s great.

So either way, I come out ahead.

War ... nah, I can’t say it.
