TCU or Baylor got screwed. I think TCU had the best resume, but Baylor edged TCU head-to-head. Minnesota was the only common opponent for TCU and Ohio State, and TCU rolled over Minnesota, whereas OSU only won by seven.
Some relatives and I had planned to go to State’s game but Miami is too far from here. Was thinking about flying but my niece can not afford that. Hail State.
What, no Cocoa Puffs Bowl? I’m disappointed...
Penn St vs. Boston College in NY City on Dec 26? Who thought that that would be a good idea?
What, no Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Franfreako?
It will be interesting to see how Florida will approach their bowl game, with a group of coaches who probably won’t be back. I’d like to without Muschamp’s meddling how they would have looked.
I like the Texas-Arkansas matchup.
I just wonder if Baylor or TCU really is going to care about their bowl games.
Thanks for posting. Interesting.
They should have a “Cereal Bowl” played in Battle Creek, Michigan. Or, how about a Toilet Bowl pitting the 2 worst teams in college football against each other. That could draw a circus-freak type audience.
BUMP

Once again, my home town Huskies will get a spot in the “I Don’t Give a Damn” bowl. But it’s still nice to have one more game.
I feel bad for all my TCU fan relatives back home in Fort Worth, they were all decked out in their purple at the game yesterday. Daughter will be traveling with the band to the Outback Bowl in Tampa . . . I think she is happy about that . .. she was thinking they might be in the Music City bowl up the road in Nashville . . .
Husband and son were in Nashville today for the Titans game . .. YIKES . .. and they stayed for the WHOLE game. Glad I stayed home.
Ping.
It really irks me that so little discussion is given to Baylor.
They beat two top ten teams.
The head to head with Tcu leaves me wondering why any of these games are even being played?
Baylor beat tcu for the big 12 title but even the big 12 director says that doesn’t matter.
Oklahoma was the preseason #2 in the nation behind Alabama. Big 12 beats big 10 and again it’s ignored.
It’s also suspect that only state schools get in while private Christian schools are shut out.
This stinks bad.
And another thing....
Baylors one loss involved an extraordinary record setting 215 yards in penalties called against Baylor at West Virginia.
It was not simply a lot of penalties called it was record setting.
Where’s Boise State?
Where’s Boise State? Never mind.
Here is one problem with the playoff system. It has essentially turned bowl games into the college football version of the NIT. Who cares?
Since TCU or Baylor did not make the pick, I will hold my nose and root for Oregon!
Well, here we have it. Baylor is #5, TCU is #6. Committee impressed with Ohio State’s rape of Wisconsin.
