BCS Bowls That Shouldn't Have Happened

Last night the Orange Bowl was played and victory went to the Mountaineers. Is the ACC that bad? Sure doesn't seem to add up to much. At least the two teams in this particular bowl were their respective conference champions. Still...A BCS Bowl for schools not in the top ten? C'mon.

The Sugar was ridiculous. Neither team should be in one of the premier (and highest paying) games. Neither Michigan or Virginia Tech are top ten squads and certainly should have played in lesser bowls.

Such is the system we have in Division I ball.

Buckeyes Take Home the Sugar

At least the Hogs made it respectable. At one point it looked like it would be a complete blow out by the team from Ohio as the Hogs could just not seem to stop anyone. Whether the suspended players from the Ohio State squad should or should not have played is open to question, but had they not, then the Hogs would have likely won this one. Of course then there would have been trash talk from Buckeye fans. You know the old "yeah, but if our guys had of played" thing. Anyway, it is a moot point now. As of now I would probably put Ohio State at number three or four in the country. Hope everyone had fun in New Orleans. It is by far the best town to have any sort of bowl game. They still know how to do a celebration the right way.

Sugar Bowl

In a few short minutes the Sugar Bowl will kick off between the Hogs and the Buckeyes. The game outcome depends on which Arkansas team shows up. If Mallett is on; the the Buckeyes will have some problems. If he is off; then it could get ugly. I predict that the Buckeyes will eventually prevail either way and that is unfortunate. I could be wrong. Hope so. Getting kinda tired of Ohio State fans thinking they are entitled.
