What state won the most BCS bowls? Pound for pound, no one touches Alabama.

Haven't looked at the numbers, but the only ones I'd guess were in contention would be Florida, Alabama, and California. Unless OSUn, and their claim to all these BCS wins, is more. Most states with great teams, just have the one team.

I don't like the Charlie Strong hire. He's never performed as well as he should have. They should have been undefeated this year with the #1 QB and a ridiculously easy schedule.

Well, the loss to UCF was justified by them killing that powerhouse Baylor team.




Also, teams should really look into the little WR motion "pass" handoff. What is the drawback??? It's bobbled and dropped for an Incomplete. Slimiest of chances it's bobbled up and picked.

 

[BertramCooper]

Lol, Tajh saying he thought he would get the MVP.

Philly Brown should get MVP on Clemson's behalf.

Florida.

2 for FSU, 5 for Florida and 3 for Miami. I forgot UCF! 1 for them too, the scrappy bastards.

Alabama and Auburn only have 5 between them. Less than Ohio state alone.

 

[C4Lukins]

Not sure about the UT hire, but I hope for the best. Looks like the best option we were left with.

 

[Kalnos]

Petrino would be a great hire

I mean, it's very possible because he's at Western Kentucky right now.... but he's a pretty big douche.

 

[Lonestar]

Florida.

2 for FSU, 5 for Florida and 3 for Miami.

think it's actually 13, counting UCF's win.

11, counted wrong, because I was looking at a list of scores and scrolling, you might have actual numbers in front of you.

 

[eBay Huckster]

wouldn't that only make it 11

 

[Kacar]

Not enough Hyde. Never possibly enough Hyde.

Probably the saddest I've been about a departing player.

Where was Kenny G? XBrax had taken 12 edge spears.

Sammy Watkins finishes game with infinity catches for OMFG yards. Maybe the Browns can get him.

I thought you were a TCU guy

Wiki has a list of most BCS wins/appearances by school on the BCS page.

 

[Lonestar]

Yeah, Alabama's 3-3, sadly for us.

But good for us, that we're 3-0 in the game that mattered

 

[timetokill]

They've should've had that Papa Johns there waiting for him.

 

[pxleyes]

Urban having emotional problems again?

 

[devilhawk]

So they are the only team from South Carolina to ever win a BCS bowl

Also means that Kansas won more BCS bowls than both MU and KSU combined. Let that sink in.

Happened pregame apparently.

I counted:

Florida - 11
California - 8
Alabama - 6 (counting the win on Monday)
Ohio - 6
Texas - 4

 

[impirius]

Not that I'm allowed to ever hope for a Clemson win, but it does mean that the Gamecocks beat the Fiesta, Orange, and Cotton Bowl winners this season. That should look nice for the final rankings.

Charlie Strong to Texas would be interesting. On one hand, he's the anti-Mack in many ways--hard-nosed, non-coddling, doesn't care about what the media says, isn't obsessed to the point of distraction trying to control them, relentless recruiter with a lot of motor.

On the other hand, he really has zero Texas HS ties at all. So he'll need to do a lot of work there, and hire some good recruiting guys that do have connections. You can't fly high in recruiting this state without the HS coaches, and just being the new guy at Texas isn't an automatic slam dunk.

Oklahoma has 5.

You should bet part of your life savings on Auburn. I think its free money don't you?

 

[Kacar]

Oklahoma has 5.

Thought Stoops and OU was 4-5??

Ahhhh OSU won that one year nvm.

 

[Yaboosh]

Thought Stoops was 4-5??

He is. Ok St won one.

 

[Lonestar]

So Florida has 3 teams taking turns sucking ass (and with a neat little freebie this year), Alabama sucked ass for the 1st half of the decade, but have been good for one a year the last 4 years, and California is, I guess, USCw winning alot of Rose Bowls in the middle of the decade, followed by Stanford's run?

Texas is Texas and TCU?

 

[CouldBeWorse]

Oklahoma has 5.

Sorry I missed that. Was really just including Texas to mock them. They should be up there with Florida with that talent and money.

Have the Texas message boards started in with Blazing Saddles references yet?

Good memory, Lone

And haha at the Hancock Bowl. How the Sun has fallen!

I don't think this means much. It's Texas. If they offer, 90% of kids in the state will accept immediately. I'm sure they'll have more than 1 guy on the staff who sticks around who is devoted to helping with this though.

that was the page I was looking at earlier.

Damn, I'm old enough to remember the early 90's bowl games, and that whole "Coalition" mess.

But I don't remember a damn thing about the Hancock bowl. Is that were the Sun went?

Is there even still a Sun Bowl?

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Is there even still a Sun Bowl?

UCLA vs. VT

 

[Lonestar]

UCLA vs. VT

Whew, that makes me feel better, after yesterday.

I barely remember that Alabama went to a couple of those in the 80's.

Well played. Good luck.

I laughed out loud at this.

Jim Harbaugh and Nick Saban are among candidates new #Texas coach Charlie Strong beat out for the job. Both would have accepted if offered.

I heard they offered Lombardi but he didn't respond, so they went with Strong.

Would be crazy if Harbaugh took the job, pls happen.

Out Clemsoning Clemson

 

[cashman]

Hopefully Strong can't get Saban on board as a DC.

 

[Purple Cheeto]

Things I saw on Twitter:

Ohio state allowed 500 yards 3 times this season, as many as previous 12 combined.

Louisville has contacted Duke about David Cutcliffe.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I'm hearing Charlie Strong beat out Phil Jackson for the Texas job.

[zer0das]

I missed the pass interference call that brought back an interception, but early on the refs weren't calling shit when there was pretty obvious pass interference against DGB. Probably decided to throw him a bone. Honestly the lack of calls early could have contributed to Franklin being rattled too.

 

[jakncoke]

dropped down to 21th

turns out ok st let me down too. thanks gondo you shit!

Damn just like all those Heisman winners all Texas had to donwas return the calls and offer. I definitely believe this.

Is that tweet a joke or is it legitimate Texas delusion reaching critical mass?

It's Chip Brown being the unofficial PR machine for the Texas AD.

 

[Fireball20]

I think it's a strong hire by Texas.
