So, SC & Florida lose...

The Trojans fell to Arizona at home tonight. That means they are a candidate for the Vegas Bowl. However, I would not be surprised if BYU gets another Vegas Bowl bid because they're a lock to draw a sellout. Since Arizona appears to not be going to the Vegas Bowl - though that could change - there would be no repeat of last year's game

If Arizona does go to Vegas, they'll play Utah. If they don't, the Utes might be sent to San Diego to take on either Cal, Oregon State or Stanford. Confused? Yeah, I am too! 

Beyond the Utes - Florida just lost the SEC Championship to Alabama. That means the Tide are going to play Texas/Cincinnati/TCU for the title. The Longhorns just need to beat Nebraska tonight to lock up a national championship berth and TCU probably lost any case they had for a berth if Texas were to lose with Cincinnati's victory over the 15th ranked Pitt Panthers earlier today.

That means, if all goes according to plan, the Frogs may take on Florida in the Sugar Bowl. Or Boise State in the Fiesta. 

Basically, it's all a cluster @#!% right now, guys. 

Under any scenario, I think I'd want Utah to play Stanford. That would be a really good game.

Bring on USC

Not sure why you have ruled out USC…
I think we play them in San Diego and we BEAT them.

great story line…two frosh QB’s in a rebuilding year…last time they met 2001 Utah beat USC coached by Pete Carroll…yada yada yada.

Just betcha that is what it is going to be.

Texas and 'Bama in NCS Game

I ambetting Alabama cleans their clock.

Texas did not impress down the stetch, their not as good as last year’s team was in an even weaker Big 12 and Alabama is stronger than last year in a toughened up SEC.

On papaer anyway, Alabama looks to roll.

The Pac-10 . . .they should make them all play ACC teams. Talk about a bruised up couple of leagues.

I don't know...this year's NC looks like '09's Sugar.

Texas went undefeated with a questionable schedule and often won ugly. Alabama was better on paper and expected to role. No one is going to give Texas any chance in this game – just like they didn’t give the Utes a chance in the Sugar.

Mack Brown is a helluva coach. I don’t know if he can overcome the talent issue, but I won’t count Texas out of it because they won ugly a few times. People did that last year for the Utes and it really pissed me off. Don’t forget, Alabama struggled up until the SEC Title game, too.

You know, close wins over Tennessee and Auburn aren’t any different than close wins over Texas A&M and Nebraska.

Good points

But this year the Big 12 is a weak sister, and Alabama has something to prove.

How do the coaches stack up in terms of preparing for bowl games?
