rumors
On the twitter from Graham Watson at ESPN that Boise and TCU are going to matchup in fiesta. I have a hard time the Fiesta turning down ratings gold with a Big 10 team.
Some games are already known
Via ESPN:
Kentucky will face Clemson (I hate Clemson) in the Music City
Georgia will play Texas A&M in the Independence
Auburn faces Northwestern(!) in the Outback Bowl
South Carolina against UConn in the Papajohns.com
Arkansas plays East Carolina in the Liberty
Ole Miss’ opponent is also confirmed to be Oklahoma State while Southern Cal goes to the Emerald Bowl(!) to play BC. Oh, and Fresno is Wyoming’s opponent in the New Mexico Bowl.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Well
It might be enough to prove that Boise likely doesn’t belong in the Top 5. But beyond that …
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
'We still haven't played our most complete game yet,' Mack Brown says
They better hope that’s true.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
That's precisely what Saban said...
…before the SECCG…..and they finally did. Bama better hope they can do it twice in a row.
I am watching FOX
Are they going to announce the bow selctions also, or just the BCS rankins?
"Why does bottled water have an expiration date?"
BYU is going to Las Vegas again
We get another year of Mormons in Vegas jokes
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
I remeber being a kid
and thinking 1 vs 2, then it would continue 3 vs 4, 4 vs 5. That sure would make it easier.
"Why does bottled water have an expiration date?"
The bowls don't like this talk about merit. They have to sell tickets and commercials.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Temple in EagleBank
Either UCLA or Army will be the other team
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Penn State to Capital One
LSU faces the Nittany Lions as the Big Ten reacts to Iowa going to the BCS
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Nick Saban is arguing with ESPN's 'David and Goliath' narrative
‘Why can’t it be a great game with two great teams playing?’ Because that doesn’t show how insightful the ESPN panelists think they are.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Saban is acting like the ESPN panelists are his players
Then he makes fun of Dr. Lou. This is truly great television.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Saban
I like how he says you should respect any opponent, but last year he had maybe a midnight curfew for the Sugar and had many, many excuses why they got crushed by Utah.
I think that's why he's hesitant about having another 'David vs. Goliath' set-up
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
whats even more amazing...
that Utah team…that was so amazing and cried so much that they deserved a chance…went 9-3 this year..and that Alabama team that got, by your own words “crushed” is now playing for a BCS title…man..i love irony.
"The goal is to be a champion," Saban said. "I didn’t say to win a championship. I just said be a champion. That’s our goal here. That’s what we want to do."- Nick Saban
Turnover.
Last year’s Utah team was senior-heavy. 9-3 outpaced most expectations for them this year.

I feel bad for Cincy.
They’re getting completely overlooked in all this because of TCU. I still think it should be TCU/Bama for the marbles, but Cincy has to feel slighted nonetheless.
