The college football season is over and the bowl schedule is upon us and there are a few things that I would like to talk about.
1. The national championship will be a shootout and a great game all around. Oregon Auburn were the 2 best teams in the nation
2. The Rose Bowl matchup is a terrible one. TCU Wisconsin? There NEEDS to be a Pac-10 school in there. It should be Stanford. The tradition of the Rose Bowl is always talked about and one of those great traditions is a Pac-10 (Pac-12 next year) school vs. a Big Ten School. Stanford should be the match up. I am all for TCU being in a BCS game but put it in a game that does not have such a great history as the Rose Bowl does. I say that any BCS non-automatic-qualifier-school should be in the Fiesta Bowl. That bowl actually has a history of non-aq schools in it. (Remember Boise St. vs. Oklahoma? I do, I watch it still from time to time and it a great game. Or last year's classic with TCU and Boise). The tradition needs to be restored for the Rose Bowl game.
3. Boise State needs to play on New Years Day, and those bowl games need to demand that they have Boise State in their game. I don't care if its a BCS game, as long as its on New Years. December 22? Its also a matchup I want to see on the day devoted to college football.
4. Why do we have no-name bowls after December 31? I'm okay with BCS games after Jan.1 but not no-name bowls with no name teams. Nevada vs Boston College in the Kraft Food Hunger Bowl? Im so confused. Switch it with the Utah vs. Boise State game.
5. They moved the National Championship back to 2 more days to January 10. I hate this; its more than a full week after New Years and its just going to get later and later. College Football needs to end before the NFL Playoffs begin.
I feel better now. Now I can watch Ravens vs. Steelers game which is a great one. Did you see that Joe Flacco 98 yard drive against debatably the best defense in the league? He is a great quarterback and has a bright future ahead of him.
I agree 100% on the Flacco thing IMO i think hes better than ryan
ReplyDeleteWell, on the road there is no comparison. But at home 19-1 all time at home is pretty hard to compare. Both are the future of the NFL
ReplyDeleteyes but there has yet to be a season where Flacco has missed the postseason
ReplyDeleteVery true. Flacco has arguably the best defense in the NFL and Matty Ice has an average D.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you 100% Rhodes. The Rose Bowl without a PAC 10 team just aint the Rose Bowl. You're right on!
ReplyDeleteIts just a shame. The last time a non- traditional game happened, it was Washington State vs Oklahoma, not only was it a blowout, but also not good ratings.
