BCS Selection Show Open Thread

The hot rumor on the street is that our beloved Tide will be playing Texas in the BCS National Championship Game, but the rest of the bowl games are pretty much up in the air. There are usually a few surprises in bowl seeding, and I'm sure that will be the case again this year. Either way, chime in here with your thoughts from the BCS Selection Show and the unveiling of the full bowl line-up afterward.
Note: Apparently the team will not be watching the show tonight, and will instead be attending the team's year-end awards banquet (we'll have more up later on the awards from that). Coach Saban, however, is expected to appear live via teleconference at some point during the show with Texas coach Mack Brown.

Why watch when you already know where both you and the team you just blew out are going? Does anything else matter? I hope they enjoy the awards banquet and have a wonderful and much deserved celebration.

Why does ESPN still have Texas' escape headlining their website?
That was by far the worst game of the season. Is this a case of playing down Alabama’s accomplishments?

So do you pull for
other SEC teams to win their bowl games so no one can talk that “SEC is overrated” BS?
I find it hard to root for Florida or Auburn or Tennessee.

If we beat Texas...

Rumor is TCU vs Boise State
If so, TCU and the MWC should kick the BCS in the nuts and go home.
Of course, it might be enough to kill the BCS
That's the hot rumor...
… and if it turns out to be true, I imagine that you’ll see even more antitrust hearings on the Hill in the next few months.

A decent bit, I imagine...
… I really just don’t think that the BCS officials wanted two non-BCS teams in separate BCS games. I really don’t think the BCS guys like the non-BCS teams getting in there simply because I doubt their games sell the tickets / merchandise and get the ratings like they would get with a BCS team from a big conference.

Nebraska should have won the big 12
they weren’t supposed to be able to review the clock at the end.
What you're seeing is team spirit. It's like the Holy Spirit, but more powerful.
-Hank Hill
When the Pac 10 followed the replay rules instead of getting it right in the Oregon/OU fumble issue, people wanted the refs fired.
There was a second left on the clock, and the replay booth noticed it. It was the right call.
I'm wrong all the time.
Looked like there was 1 second left...
when the ball hit the ground. If that’s the case, they deserved the chance to use it, replay rules or no replay rules.
That play was not reviewable under the B12 replay standards

That's my point
People bitched when the “replay standards” were followed and it obviously changed the outcome of the game . . . now they’re bitching when the replay standards aren’t followed in an effort to get an obviously blown call correct.
I'm wrong all the time.
Don't be obstinate.
In both cases, people are demanding that the rules be followed. People weren’t bitching that the “replay standards” were followed, they bitched that the call was blown, despite the fact that it was reviewed. Here, people are bitching that the officials reviewed something that the rules say can’t be reviewed. That’s entirely logically consistent.
That's my beef
Here, people are bitching that the officials reviewed something that the rules say can’t be reviewed.
That game was over. Anomalous clockwork has always been part of the game (and obviously contemplated by the B12s rules). For TX to say that the refs “followed their morals” to give them another second in which to negate their own stupidity was asinine…almost as revolting as the talking heads on the WWL saying that “it was the right call” like Athena from the head of Zeus…or Dan Beebe’s inability to tell the Pelinis precisely why he thought that it was “the good call”

Same thing
In the Oregon/OU game, the replay rules said that the replay official could not comment to the game officials on parts of the play that were not under review.
In other words: the possession of the football was not reviewable under replay rules. The only thing that was reviewable was whether the ball had gone 10 yards before it was touched. The official didn’t have an angle to overturn the call on the field but did see that the officials mis-called possession. He was not, by the same rules you’re talking about here, allowed to tell the game officials that.
Same rules. You can’t have it both ways.
I’ve never seen so many people be so militant about wanting the game rules to be imposed incorrectly just to satisfy some arbitrary rule about what’s reviewable.
The imperative is to get the calls right. In this case, they did.
I'm wrong all the time.
Don't you know...

Hint, ours over the past 5 years is just a shade over 72%…and that’s with 3 ten win seasons.

The standards will continue to move
as the teams meet them. Apparently their schedules are weak. I’m not really sure the MWC schedule is weaker than an ACC schedule. And Boise State beat Oregon, the PAC-10 winner. I’m not even sure one of these schools would have made it if Texas had lost.

do it against better competition is all...
BSU plays the easiest schedule i have ever seen. TCU’s and Utah’s is a little bit harder. If they continue to play elite competition (and only playing pac-10 teams isn’t doing that) then i will start to ease up. Until then, im gonna stick to being a hater.

i thought patterson was gonna burst a blood vessel in that on-site interview.
he all but called the BCS sons a bitches on live tv.
Roll 'Bama Roll: The Champagne of 'Bama Blogs.
let em cry all he wants...
first BCS game ever…and its not the NC game…STFU TCU…do it again next year and we’ll talk.

nothing...schedule better teams during the regular season
and he wouldn’t deal with this.

TCU should be pissed
Not being in the big game is one thing, getting the other non-AQ school is ridiculous. and they had a reasonable schedule based on what they control.
no....
Two teams who started out the year ranked higher, played in much tougher conferences went 12-0…they can’t bitch…

I think their bitch isn't for not playing in the Title game...
…it is for being matched up with another non-BCS team. They wanted a shot of proving themselves vs the “Big Boys”

They like relatively even matchups...
but the only teams in the SEC with worse records aren’t bowl-eligible.
