The safe bet is to always pick against the ACC in BCS Bowls...they are 2-15 now (if I am not mistaken).

WOW!!!, what happened to Clemson! Everything I had read about this game gave them the edge. So much for what the experts say! Great game by the Mountaineers! Total destruction of a team!

Will make one final update Tuesday, after the championship game. Looking forward to finally seeing an SEC team lose in the BCS Championship Game.

Finally, we have come to the BCS game! This has to be the longest 35 game schedule that I can remember!

Ohhhh...to hear these yahoo's from the SEC...there will be plenty more of this game tonight for years to come. That is what happens when you sell your conference, owner gets to choose. But, alas, they are buying up all of them. And that Les Miles is such an arrogant pompous butt..."big boys football..." What a blatherskite.

And now he can go home with a shut out loss to a Better team.

Big Boy football; only if you are in a red jersey. The Tigers looked pitiful tonight.

You shouldn't have to play a team again to win a championship. It isn't fair to LSU at all.

They didn't have to participate....they chose, along with all the other 119 teams to do this, so...they pay the price...not even going to get all the second place votes.

I agree, I'm just tired this system. They are going to try a plus one soon, that will be worse.

Congrats to LSU Afgan Bob great picking in the bowl games! Where the points are concerned for me not so well, but straight up tied for second with Spence not too shabby. Now we just have to wait for the changes in the fall and see what happens next season!
