NCAA 2009

Best case scenario. Auburn beats bama
bama beats florida
Nebraska upsets Texas
so we get tcu vs cincy for title.

That would be the worst case scenario for Fox.

And besides, there's a chance a 1 loss Texas or Bama(or Florida, for that matter, assuming it loses to FSU but beats Bama) would remain in the top 2 over Cincy and TCU.

I'm happy as long as Boise State is left out in the cold.

Here's hoping Nevada pulls a miracle out of their ass/gets lucky with that offense of theirs tonight.

[Ed Anger]

Why watch the war eagles get pasted at all then?

War Eagle in the upset today.

Or at least I hope so. I've got 50 bucks on it.

FUCKING SABAN. 

[Eddie Teach]

You should have taken the points.

Wyoming, picked to finish 9th in the conference, ends up 6-6 after beating CSU 17-16 (game was actually better than that score...) and finishes the season in 5th place.

I am glad that Wyo took Christensen from Missouri, a nice hire (sure he will be gone in 2 years, but still).

Where would Wyoming go? The fabled...New Mexico Bowl most likely!

[PDH]

Oh, and in support of my beloved Wyoming Cowboys:

Eat shit and live to tell about it, Rammies!
(in a rivalry, I believe in kicking the other when he is down)

[Valmy]

Congrats to Wyoming at becoming Bowl Eligible!

One more game to 13-0...I can almost taste it....

As a developing program the best things about making a bowl game is the extra 4-6 weeks of practice you get.  The money is nice but it is usually split among conference members; the prestige is nice but will disappear with a bad season next year; the recruiting advantages are minimal.  With all of the limits on practice time getting the kids an extra month or more on the practice field is a huge advantage in college football.

The money is peanuts. The share Wyoming gets from TCU going to a BCS is way more. Just playing a bowl game helps nab those oh so tantalizing recruits away from Louisiana Tech and other fabled programs.  The big plus the practice time - good news for a team that started a gaggle of true freshmen.

Okay, credit where it's due.  Stewart coached a decent 2nd half & WVU wins the Backyard Brawl.

Sorry, Wannstash

[MadBurgerMaker]

I hate the blue turf.  Fuck Boise State.

Edit:     That was a good game, Spiess.  I was hoping the kid would drill that FG, although I'm not sure why.  No problems with Pitt or anything.  Must be the whole "upset" thing.

[citizen k]

Pathetic to see people pinning their hopes on Nevada. 

[MadBurgerMaker]

Why do some of the Nevada helmets have stripes while others don't?

Well, now you're have to hope that Florida State beats Florida and then Alabama beats Florida instead.

To be honest, while I wouldn't mind seeing TCU-Cincy, the game I'd really like to see is TCU-Florida;  I think they're the 2 best teams.
