Rose: Wisconsin vs Stanford
Orange: ACC vs BE

Am I supposed to be pissed about playing Ohio State in Glendale instead of Wisconsin in Pasadena? That wouldn't bother me ONE BIT.

I still believe the other bowls are tired of the Rose Bowl going on and on about how great they are and how they need to hold onto tradition...that is unless someone wants us badly enough.

Playing in Arizona bothers me. I want to go to the Rose Bowl! and care much less about whether its Wisconsin or Ohio State.

The Rose Bowl man! Once in a lifetime shot to go out there and kick a pompous yankee team all over their snobby bowl committee's game.

ESPN Agenda

The Bowl Selection ProcessScroll down to 5-D in red and draw your own conclusions

Team selection procedures

The bowls will select their participants from two pools: (1) automatic qualifiers, all of which must be selected, and, (2) at-large teams, if fewer than 10 teams qualify automatically. The following sequence will be used when establishing pairings:

1. The top two teams in the final BCS Standings will be placed in the National Championship Game ("NCG").

2. Unless they qualify to play in the NCG, the champions of selected conferences are contractually committed to host selected games:

Atlantic Coast Conference-Orange Bowl
Big Ten Conference-Rose Bowl
Big 12 Conference-Fiesta Bowl
Pac-10 Conference-Rose Bowl
Southeastern Conference-Sugar Bowl

3. If a bowl loses a host team to the NCG, then such bowl shall select a replacement team from among the automatic-qualifying teams and the at-large teams before any other selections are made. If two bowls lose host teams to the NCG, each bowl will get a replacement pick before any other selections are made. In such case, the bowl losing the No. 1 team gets the first replacement pick, and the bowl losing the No. 2 team gets the second replacement pick. If the Rose Bowl loses both the Big Ten and Pac-10 champions to the NCG, it will receive two replacement picks.

For the games of January 2011 through 2014, the first year the Rose Bowl loses a team to the NCG and a team from the non-AQ group is an automatic qualifier, that non-AQ team will play in the Rose Bowl.

A bowl choosing a replacement team may not select any of the following:

A. A team in the NCG;
B. The host team for another BCS Bowl;
C. When two bowls lose host teams, then the bowl losing the number one team may not select a replacement team from the same conference as the number two team, unless the bowl losing the number two team consents.

4. After steps No. 1, 2 and 3 have been completed, any bowl with an unfilled slot shall select a team from the automatic qualifiers and/or at-large teams in the following order for the games played in 2007 through 2010:


January 2011 games: Sugar, Orange, Fiesta


January 2012 games: Fiesta, Sugar, Orange


January 2013 games: Fiesta, Sugar, Orange


January 2014 games: Orange, Sugar, Fiesta

All teams earning automatic berths must be selected.

5. After completion of the selection process as described in Paragraph Nos. 1-4, the conferences and Notre Dame may, but are not required to, adjust the pairings taking into consideration the following:

A. whether the same team will be playing in the same bowl game for two consecutive years;
B. whether two teams that played against one another in the regular season will be paired against one another in a bowl game;
C. whether the same two teams will play against each other in a bowl game for two consecutive years; and
D. whether alternative pairings may have greater or lesser appeal to college football fans as measured by expected ticket sales for the bowls and by expected television interest, and the consequent financial impact on ESPN and the bowls.

The pairings may not be altered by removing the Big Ten Champion or Pac-10 champion from the Rose Bowl.

I really wouldn't be that upset with that after Gee's comments. Those are easily the 4 best matchups out of those 10 teams.

btw, the projection might be right about Fiesta, but if that the case it will be to protect Gee and the Big 10 rep by matching us up against the Big 12.
