Bama's road graders up front would be a tough match up for FSU....


I would too if I were you. I don't think it is going to happen though.


I am too. The we have only three undefeated teams...well five but they of course don't count for reasons that have been expressed for seven years...I digress. So that means the Bama will throw the BCS into a tizzy. That would mean a NC between FSU and OSU, if any sane rationale is used. Baylor won't have the political clout. On the other hand, a one loss Bama will make the argument that they are still the best...and that may be...but not how the game should be scored.

If Baylor wins out they will be in front of Ohio State at the end.

Makes me smile....on a scale of one to ten, how much interest is there in the Baylor Bear? Follow the money.

I now buy into Baylor. They came back mightily after a first quarter deficit and they did it in a "BCS matchup-styled" atmosphere at the Jerry-dome.

The polls would have to be manipulated for Ohio State to finish ahead of Baylor as I understand it. But you're right, if it comes down to dollars and cents, they Buckeyes bring the dollars. Doesn't seem to matter this year. We are going to go to Pasadena, just a week earlier than we would have liked. It is the game we deserve, though, so I have no problem with it.

There are worse bowls than the Rose. 8)
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I know. They Rose is a great time. But when you get right down to it, you want to play for championships. It would be hard for me if I though the Buckeyes we good enough to win the championship, but I don't so it is easier.
