Well OSU gave the voters pause in making their final ballots for the BCS, but oh well. I'll be able to watch this LSU - Bama game, hope it lives up to the enormous hype it's going to get.
I feel bad for the Sugar Bowl. It seems like they were forced to pick Va Tech (you know they wanted Boise State).
Maybe the Buckeyes can make it 2 in a row over an SEC team

WTF VaTech? I did not expect that. BSU or KSU should have been given the nod IMO.
I was mildly surprised by the Michigan pick also but often those matchups make the most exciting BCS games.
OSU got shafted. Bama had their frickin shot once this season, OSU and their potent offense should have been granted theirs. I for one would have loved to see the Pokes offense stack up against the LSU defense, I can see Weeden and Blackmon really getting up for that game.
Aside from the NC, I think the Fiesta Bowl is the most intriguing. I'm worried about my Cardinal's ability to handle a potent offense a la Oregon and USC. Hopefully our defense will make adjustments to contain the Pokes and Luck goes out with a bang. He looks to be a Colt regardless.

I think Michigan makes a lot of sense as an at large. It's been since 2006 (?) that they've been to a BCS game, they'd fill that stadium themselves. Va Tech "fans" will fall all over themselves to sell tickets to Michigan fans. I would not be surprised to see 70% Michigan vs Va Tech fans.
Agree about OSU, but thems the breaks.

Sumlin to A&M looks like a good hire.
Hope the fans/AD give him time to get his system up and running. Could take a couple years and in the SEC, will be even tougher.

08:15 AM ET 12.12 | No one would accuse Larry Scott of thinking small, and now he's thinking globally. [Scott], the Pacific-12 Conference commissioner, flew to Beijing on Sunday to start an apparently unprecedented effort by a college sports league to establish itself in a foreign country. Scott plans to spend four days there meeting with various officials to put together a "road map" for a way to expand the presence of Pac-12 universities in China. While Scott has his eyes on Central America, South America, India and other Asian nations in the long term, his immediate priority is establishing the Pac-12 in China. Scott said in a telephone interview Saturday that he expected the Pac-12 to play games in China in the next three to five years.

I know I'm the only USCe fan, as some say, or the University of South Carolina Gamecocks, THE USC, or CAROLINA, but the OBC signed an extension through 2015.
For all of the SEC fans, the light you see coming through the tunnel is the train fixing to rule The Roost.

Yep. LT Matt Kalil is going pro.
Barkley said it yesterday during the announcement that he had considered both options thoroughly and it was very hard to come to a clear conclusion. But once he made up his mind to come back for his senior year, he said he's not scared of anything related to injury and other related concern.
I'm just so grateful as a fan because Barkley has gone through so much negativity and probably the darkest time of USC football program. He could have left the program to play at some other great football program when the whole thing happened, and he could have easily turn to pro this year. But he never did. And that's what we are really grateful for.

You know ESPN has nothing to talk about when they talk about a college quarterback coming back for another season 4 times in a one hour episode of sportscenter 
If they included sports outside the US, they would need 3 hours just for one episode.

Southern Cal isn't even a state. It's a region of a state.
Besides, you may not be old enough to remember the 1983 contest. USC 38, South Cow. 14. We won and claimed the title to the real USC and the boys of USCw shits have been afraid to play us again because most SEC teams would kick their ass.
#1 reason Kiffen dropped out because he knew he'd be out-coached.
They only thing USCw has on USC is a TV market.

Now call up ESPN and other media outlets and tell them to stop calling us USC.
Let me know how it works out for you.

South Cow... founded 1888, private
USC... founded 1801, public
We see the noobs. But's that's o.k. look how many SCAR games have been on ESPN v. South Cow. And we be bowling this year. Please grab a pizza and tune in because South Cal is at home.
Oh, before I forget, who has won the NCAA Baseball Championship for the last two years... damn UCLA is more of a competitor.

University of Southern California Football: 11 National Championships, 6 Heisman Trophy winners ( should be seven but of course Bush has his taken away).
University of Southern Carolina Football: 0 National Championships, 1 Heisman Trophy winner, which is funny because on the Heisman list, they're listed as "South Carolina" and not "USC", like So cali is..
Just sayin.

Whatever, SCAR (and I'd even though in jawja), would slap So. Cow around like a red-headed step-child.

What an immature argument, but as a bystander I'll interject. And yes, I'm old enough to remember something that happened 83. Again, not a USC fan, take that as either school.
When USC play Notre Dame, 95% of the nation are 'noobs', I guess. All us 'noobs' that don't give a rat's ass assumes the Trojans are playing the Irish. Again, just sayin...
When the term USC is spoken, it pretty much speaks for itself. However, when referring to the USC in South Carolina, you have to say 'the one in South Carolina...ya, the real one'. You can win some symbolic game in 83, but there no arguing with the fact that the sports world believes USC resides in a 'region' in California. We're all 'noobs' I guess.
