I'm okay with Louisville. At least victory isn't guaranteed like it would be against Bob Stoops.
Now I'm wondering if it will be 2009 all over again if Strong leaves for a SEC job.
Like Brian leaving for ND.

I wonder if some people voted Florida down to prevent us from getting a BCS #2. I'd be OK with that, more than most of them thinking Oregon has a better resume/is better.

Because we may not have enough offense to beat you?![]()
Huh?
Florida is a solid 2 in the computers, I'd guess.

But then he talks about Oregon, which is confusing. His comment would make sense to me if he talked about Florida being compared to Alabama.
Herb Hating.
Truth though.
Think he was saying people ranked Oregon over us to make sure we did not jump Bama with a #3 human rank and our #2 computer ranking.
I doubt it was even possible though.
You're aware they will be playing football, not basketball, right?
CUSA vs. SEC is the normal tie in. SEC didn't have enough teams and the Liberty is one of the few bowls that has an at large option. They went after Iowa St.Consider me confused. On the ESPN bowl schedule page, it has the AutoZone Liberty Bowl with "SEC vs. Tulsa", yet when I go to Iowa State's page it says Iowa State against Tulsa in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl. Wut?
Where are our FSU fans? They've got to be pumped at playing NIU.

Oh. There wasn't any worry about that. Computers are only worth 1/3 of the equation, and Bama was a solid 3 in the computers anyway.

Don't be so quick to throw them to the dogs, Their coach is taking the NCSU job. His chances of taking an undermanned team to beat FSU just tripled.
I think he's already abandoned NIU, however. I don't think he's coaching their bowl game.
Hot off the presses: A&M vs. OU in the Cotton Bowl
I hate when coaches do this.
Sometimes the schools tell the coach to beat it. I don't know which it was in this case.I hate when coaches do this.
Dont underestimate the Noles ability to not show up.
NIU almost lose to KU at home...I rest my case

Just salty about Oregon being ahead of us in the human polls.
And the computers are weird, so I was just idly speculating that some voters may have done that. Not a concerted effort or anything.
You could also look at the narrow victories over Bowling Green, ULL, and Missouri.
Then see that Oregon had all but two of their games won by the third quarter. The other two, they beat USC by three scores (basically), and loss in OT to Stanford.
Florida has the best resume but Oregon has had a crazy season in terms of the 'eye test'.
The one knock I have on Sumlin (so far) is that he interviewed with A&M in the week leading up to Houston's CCG. Did the interview process cause enough distractions to cost them a BCS bowl? I don't know, but it does make me nervous for what will happen in 3-4 years.
I'll keep my O&B glasses on. Haha. But seriously, playoff is the only way.
Has anybody figured out what the BCS bowls would have looked like with OSU eligible? Would they have pushed NIU out? Or with OSU potentially in the title game, would the Rose Bowl be forced to take a non-AQ (don't they have to take one every few years)? B1G wouldn't have gotten two teams in, that's for sure.
