2013 BCS Bowl Chatter

• Classyposter58

  

  Can I just say f*** the BCS. I'm in my early 20's and these damn rules are ruining these amazing bowls I grew up with. These last two Orange Bowl's have sucked and no one is there tonight. Also why not put a top 10 team in the Rose Bowl, good god I didn't wanna watch unranked Wisconsin, I wanted to watch say Stanford vs Georgia instead

  Agree, I did not want to watch the B1G 6th place (actually tied for 5th with Northwestern) play in a BCS Bowl. Does the Rose Bowl have to take an unranked team? Especially a team that shouldn't have even been playing for the B1G title (finished 3rd in their division). It was surprisingly a much more competitive game than I thought it would be, I don't know how Stanford beat Oregon, they're very physical but not very fast.

  Yeah they said it was the weakest schedule during the game

  Agree the Orange Bowl has been awful for the past several years
  
  As for Wisconsin being there.. That's on us. They shouldn't have been there, but teams who finished better (Ohio State, Penn State) were ineligible. Nothing the BCS can do when that happens

  They controlled the ball for almost 40 minutes in that game and shut down Barner

  Big 1G is 1-9 in the last ten Rose bowls.

  Just like NIU being in the Orange Bowl was on the Big 10. Nothing the BCS can do there, either.

  Only win, OSU over Oregon.

  B1G 14-0 in quality schools.
• thavoice

  I was hoping NIU would be able to put up a fight but it was clear they just were not close to being talented enough to compete. FSU wins that game 11 out of every 10 times they played.
  
  Big ten was down this year as everyone knew going into the bowl season and I was not surprised at their record. Because they are the big ten, a bcs power conference, they are gonna get alot of big bowl bids and this year were outmatched and I think underdogs in all but 1 maybe?
  
  Early on I thought the rose bowl was gonna be a rout but WIsky turned it up a bit.
  
  Oh well.....

  Wait a minute here. You say you hate the rules that are ruining these amazing bowls you grew up with, yet want the rule to change that would have matched up two top ten teams in the Rose bowl with Stanford and Georgia.
  
  WHich way do you want it?

  Florida has 1 player from Kentucky, Sam Robey from Louisville. Sam's dad Rick was a star hoops player at Kentucky and in the NBA.

  I like Teddy Bridgewater, but UF should have no problem with the Cards.
• Speedofsand

  

  I don't see why UF is a 14 pt favorite. UL is good, UF struggled a few times with avg teams. Charlie is an awesome coach, I've always been a huge fan of him. I expect a one score game, 30-24 Gators.

Members of the team spent the afternoon visiting children throughout the hospital and autographing Sugar Bowl footballs. (Matt Stamey/Staff photographer) [LEFT]

  I'd guess if the Rose Bowl were played in Cleveland it might be close to inverted.
• KR1245

  

  I really like Bridgewater, I hope he can do enough to keep it close.
• dlazz

  lol, sweet start to the game.
• ts1227

  

  that escalated quickly
• Ironman92

  

  Florida is mashing and Florida is losing.
• SportsAndLady

  

  Florida/SoS suck
  
  14-0 Cards
• Crimson streak

  

  Td Louisville 14-0 really didn't see this coming
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  SEC! SEC!
  Where is the defense?
  That was way too easy.
  
  The FB was wide open in the flat.

  Looks like UF finally is waking up

  Hopefully just like Miss St did.
• Azubuike24

  

  UL better continue to score TD's. UF will start running it straight down their throats sooner or later.
• Azubuike24

  

  Yeah, UL looks great thus far offensively. I'm just saying their D isn't any good and Florida isn't going to be their typical offensively-challenged selves.
