I don't think that Oklahoma should jump Oregon! Even though strenght of Schedule doesn't count Oklahoma lost to unranked team, Oregon lost on a fluke to then #5 or so Cal.

how can michigan make a bcs game? they would have to beat ohio state to be big 10 champs, but they have ohio st in the orange bowl....

guess i dont understand all this.....

texas could get a bcs game too....

'cause the Rose Bowl gets

"BCS vs. BCS (Big Ten Champion vs. Pac 10 Champion, if available)" -

'BCS' meaning top 12 of BCS standings ..... so I guess CFN is projecting that Michigan will finish in the top 12 of the BCS standings ... if Mich beats OSU then they are Big 10 champs, i guess thats what CFN is projecting .... if not, ellifino

Texas vs. USC would be fun to watch. The announcers would probably spend 3/4 of the broadcast talking about the national championship game between the two, but the game would be entertaining.

i would love to see a texas usc matchup in the rose bowl if ut cant make it to a bcs game

UT still isn't ranked in any of the computer polls are they?

They are assuming that Michigan wins...thus as the Big 10 champs they are in the Rose Bowl. Ohio State is getting an at-large spot in a BCS game.

Texas won't make the BCS unless something odd happens in the polls. 3 teams from the same conference are not allowed to make it into BCS games and (barring anything unusual in the next few weeks) 2 of the 3 between Mizzou, Kansas, and Oklahoma will be in BCS games. Then again, as long as you're in the Top 14 in the BCS standings you can be considered for an at-large bid so they would technically be in the running for one...albeit a very long shot.

Boise State will NOT be in a BCS game this year....

:eek: :eek: NOOOOOOO!!!!!

If the colleges in Texas don't kick it up a notch there won't be very many bowl wins for them this year. It could actually end up quite embarrasing.

That doesn't make sense. That have a weekly college show too. I guess it makes since because some of the players are NFL prospects?

I guess...I get their coverage of the combine and workouts and stuff since those are all prospects in the draft, but I wonder how many pro prospects there are on K-State or Houston's squads???

[Adidas410s]

last year they aired the Texas and Insight Bowls...maybe 1 or 2 others...

Jordy Nelson, Charles Foster, Freeman, maybe a DB
