Oh no, they have all obnoxiously stumbled into work today.  But they brought snacks, so its all okay with me.

Hey, at least the game lived up to the hype.  Great one to watch.

That QB for Texas is pretty damn good.  I was impressed.  If it wasn't for them beating Ohio State then I would of rooted for them last night.  Oh well, at least the only team that beat us was in fact the national champs.  Smiley

Yeah, the bad thing though is that the NCAA is going to be patting themselves on the back saying:
"See, the BCS series does work!" rolleyes

Orange Bowl was good in a weird sort of way, and the Rose Bowl (what little I saw of it) was pretty good, too.

The rest of the bowl games this year have been a festering pile of crap.

How in the hell does a #3 team end up playing #22?  Why not 3 & 4?

I THINK BCS is overlaid on top of some pre-existing contractual agreements that exist between some of the teams/leagues and some of the bowls.

At least that's my understanding.

Hey, I'm just happy to see Penn State back in the top 10!

Florida State made it to a BCS game because they beat VaTech in the ACC Championship game.  An 8-4 team in the BCS is an embarrassment.  Hell, I'm not too happy that the Big East got a BCS slot.  Although, I have to admit, West Virginia did beat a pretty good Georgia team.

That's pretty close. It's based on $$$ and politics.

I would like to see a real playoff series like they have for basketball, but I don't think it will ever happen.

I wish.  I actually watched the whole game without the assistance of a single beer (or other alcoholic beverage).
