Gawd dammit! How the heck can they put Nebraska in??? They didn't even win their own conference??? It should be either Colorado or Oregon facing Miami in Pasadena!

Blame TCU, they earned Nebraska .25 in their overall total, due to strength of schedule, if TCU had lost Friday, CU would be there instead.. Its pretty sad how the BCS works. I mean come on, an unranked team beating an unranked team, made Nebraska's strength of schedule improve enough to get .25? LOL... Sad, very sad..

Yeah, I agree. Nebraska shouldn't go to the BCS. How can they put in Nebraska ahead of Colorado??

IMO, Oregon should go. The only game they lost they essentially dominated Stanfurd all day long, except for a couple freak turnovers.

another thing, since it is at the Rose Bowl, it would be more fitting to send a worthy Pac-10 team... e.g. OREGON

Conference Championships are over-rated. Just wait until next season when we have 12-game seasons rather than eleven. You'll see more two loss national contenders as the number of games played increases.

The Huskers match up well with the 'Canes. If Miami was going to run the gamut then why not through the #1 pass defense? Miami will have to stop a savage run attack with their porous defense. Sounds interesting to me! Oregon and Colorado will be so lobsided it'll end up a split title if the 'Canes lose. Why? Because some ass in a suit decided that Colorado's two losses were no big deal. C'mon, they lost AT HOME to Fresno State Who(?)!

The Huskers lost on the road and on a field that was sloppy, long grass, and frozen turf underneath. It took them a quarter and 35 points to realize that they wore the WRONG SHOES for crying out loud. Take away the first quarter and the Huskers outplayed Colorado. Take away some desperation passing at the end and you end up with a closer game. Texas beat Colorado by more points, which by their logic makes them forfiet any luck of going to the Rose Bowl.

<< Question: In a playoff system with the 4 teams, who would have won 2nd place? >>



Whoever lost in the Championship game of course. :)

Anyways, they should really have a playoff system. At least have the winners of the 4 BCS bowls go into 4 way playoff. :)
