A part of me wants to say that if you didn't earn your spot in the top 85 for a scholarship, sorry you can't have money, but it's the top 85. These people are getting a semi-free ride through college and not just any college. I'm looking at 20k/year student loans for my last two years of college th...

I agree there is a double standard. You can be sure if this had happened with Akron, and the Zips were in a rare bowl game, that these players wouldn't be participating. The NCAA wants to make the BCS games as big a showcase as possible but doesn't care as much about schools that are not as high pro...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Looking forward to hopefully having more time to spend here in 2011.

So, how should an Akron guy like me feel about this? Now they will say it is because of the suspensions when we, the 120th ranked out of 120 teams, go in and knock them off in the opener next year. :shock: In reality, it will still be the biggest blowout we have suffered to OSU since Goliath started...

Phili is basketball happy right now; their market is just a fraction. Temple's final few home games had little turn out... my guess is, the Bowls took that into account. Seeing as it would have been an at large, then no obligation is defiled. . . . I agree with everything said here but still why pu...

Who was Temple passed over for in the at-large pool of teams? I am honestly not sure. I just know that teams like UTEP and Florida International are 6-6 and bowling. Are they more deserving than 8-4 Temple? Plus Temple would bring the Philly media market.

Soooo...be one of the 70 teams playing in a bowl. It is an added incentive. I know that the same can be said for EE's. They get the extra spring practice that other freshmen do not get. It is always good to have a few studs enroll early. Temple was good enough to be one of the 70 teams in a bowl. A...

In the SEC vs Big Ten Bowls...Ohio State will be the only team favored. Bama vs Michigan St.....Bama favored by 11 If Bama beats Michigan State than we would have a three loss SEC team beating a one loss Big Ten team....not good for Big Ten bragging rights. Penn State vs Florida in "Disappoint...

Yeah, there should have been some kind of manuevering done.

Last I checked UConn is in a BCS game. Don't the Huskies and Owls have the same record? Connecticut and Temple played each other this year too I believe, what was the result of that game again?

I like the Texas bowl between Illinois and Baylor. Also, for once I really like most of the BCS matchups. A one loss Stanford team travelling to the Orange Bowl is the kind of thing I love about the bowl system. Also, really looking forward to the Pinstripe Bowl, football in Yankee Stadium could be ...

Temple is 8-4. Temple did not get a bowl invitation. 13 teams, including some from non-BCS conferences, that have 6-6 records will be in the postseason. Until this year teams with winning records had to be taken for at-large spots ahead of .500 teams. I know a lot of people wanted that rule dropped ...

I agree that Wisconsin is best team in the conference but they do have one conference loss as does MSU and the Spartans won head to head. The bigger question here may not involve Wisconsin. If the Big Ten gets a second team into the BCS, should it be OSU or MSU? We all know who they will pick but do...

Actually if they all win, the biased BCS voters are in the driver's seat as much as anyone. Its just a matter of which road they prefer to take. I believe the same could be said if only Wisconsin loses, but at least in that case MSU has a shot at a BCS slot somewhere else, even though we all know th...

That is what makes CFB great, and the ACC is surely one of the best conferences to watch week in and week out for a few years in a row now. You've gotta love not knowing who will win from week to week, keeps it fun.
