  Not too much to gripe about.....on the lower end maybe NCSU should have received more votes, but those are small potatoes.

  It's interesting to see Wisconsin ahead of Stanford. If Wisconsin jumps Stanford in the bcs, Stanford isn't automatically getting a bcs bid.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Wisconsin was ahead of Stanford in the polls last week. Stanford was inexplicably ahead of them in the computers.
• Rotinaj

  

  If it was in the computers how is it inexplicable?
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Because there is no reason the computers should have Stanford ahead of Wisconsin.

  As a BigTen fan, I hate to see that Michigan State is being left out of the BCS. From a coaching stand point, you work that hard and lose 1 friggin' game and you cannot get into a BCS bowl game? I wonder if that effects a players Psyche?

  While I feel for MSU, the fact of the matter is they were embarassed by a 5 loss team in their lone loss. There is only so many spots for BCS teams. It's the way the cookie crumbles. Maybe it'll be motivation for next season?

  This.
  
  I don't think their focus is going to wane too long... I'm pretty sure they're headed to Orlando to play Alabama in the Capital One Bowl... I'd wanna have my head screwed on straight for that one

  SDSU and Navy are matched up in the Poinsettia Bowl. The question is, who will have the larger crowd in San Diego???? I know who is selling more tickets.
• Manhattan Buckeye

  Navy will have a larger crowd due to the military presence in SD. SDSU should have a good showing as well....not bad for the Poinsettia Bowl to have a match-up that should fill the stadium.
• Con_Alma

  It won't fill the stadium. This will not be a sell out.
• johngrizzly

  Concerning MSU, is a conference permitted 3 BCS bowl teams?
