if Missouri was #1 and Ohio St can be playing for the BCS title - how does Illinois not deserve to go to the Rose Bowl? They defeated Ohio St in Ohio and lost to Missouri in a close game.

I'll take the 40 points

what's the bet now?

I believe there was talk about Illinois facing Florida in the Capital One Bowl. I haven't seen the Zookster in person for a while now.

someone has to be champ. what, no champ because everyone lost too much? and then people complain because these schools schedule some games vs weak opponents...because everyone thinks a perfect season ='s a top team. do you want tough play most week, or everyone playing it safe? i'd rather a team who plays hard than a team who plays no one, and then trumpets their 0 loss record.

If there ever a year where no one really deserves the award it would be this one.

This just in...Kirk Herstreet reports that the Capital One Bowl is now part of the BCS and the underdog gets the Lou Holtz pre game speech.

ESPN will leak the results by 5pm EST. Kirk Herbstreet will report Va Tech and Georgia in the title game. Then the NCAA will refute the report.
