None of this will be official until tomorrow evening, but here’s one fan’s take on the BCS lineup:
- BCS Championship- Oregon and Auburn
- Rose Bowl- Wisconsin and TCU
- Sugar Bowl- Ohio State and Arkansas
- Orange Bowl- Stanford and Virginia Tech
- Fiesta Bowl- Oklahoma and UConn
On paper (or HTML, whatever), these are pretty good matchups; we’ll finally see if TCU “deserves” their BCS opportunity, and Bob Stoops will get a chance to FINALLY win a BCS game. Stanford will be playing a Hokie team that has won eleven straight, and Ohio State’s defensive weakness (secondary) will be up against the best QB they’ll see all year.
Other storylines:
- Michigan beat a BCS bowl team. Let that sink in… OU gets to play a team that only manged 10 points against the Wolverine defense.
- Also, as Tom put it– “The Big T1e1n’s 7th best team beat the Big lEast’s BCS representative by 21”. Meanwhile, Michigan State (more than likely) gets to sit at home.
- The “Sugar Bowl” may also be called the “Got The Hell Out Of Dodge Bowl”, as former teammates Ryan Mallett and Justin Boren will face off against each other.
- Again, credit to our pal SouthBayBuck– I’d love it if the National Championship Game could pick up sponsorship from Dell or Apple, given some of the history there.
