Virginia Tech

My brother is a Hokie and I’ve been to probably a dozen games in Blacksburg, so this isn’t motivated by hatred of VT or their program, but….

Virginia Tech going to a BCS bowl is absolutely outrageous and is yet another reason why the BCS is evil. VT is being rewarded for playing a terrible schedule.

Agreed.

They didn’t take Boise State OR Oklahoma State b/c they wanted teams that travelled well? This game proves that the BCS is a farce.

Time for a playoff.

It is indeed

A COMPLETE JOKE that V Tech is in a BCS bowl. They didn’t earn that what so ever. CHRIST THEY LOST THE ACC TITLE!

WVU won their conference

I’m not thrilled with the Big East getting an auto bid, but WVU at least has a title to point to. VT was selected as an at-large, which is even more outrageous.

Infinitely more deserving than VTech.

no conference can put 3 teams in the bcs

There is a loophole

If UGA had won the title game but LSU and Bama still gotten in to the title game, UGA could’ve still gotten the SEC’s Sugar Bowl birth.

VT going to the Sugar Bowl has nothing to do with the BCS

Bowls are, and always have been, independent actors who choose their teams not based on the “best” teams but who they think will generate the most tourism money for the local economy. To the extent that the BCS is responsible for the Michigan-VT matchup, it’s because the MNC game “stole” the Sugar’s first two natural choices – LSU and Bama – leaving them to pick through the remainder.

Now I happen to agree Michigan-VT is a terrible pick for the Sugar Bowl, but for completely different reasons. Michigan will bring a huge, excited fanbase. Virginia Tech? Seriously doubt it.

Don't Panic.

And is the Coach of the Year just an award for the coach of the team

that doesn’t suck as much as we thought they would?

KState
Michigan

Great, they both lost two games and will probably lose their bowls and really didn’t overcome anything other than the ‘the last guy really sucked’ so let’s make them the only candidates and act like Les didn’t even coach a team this year…

I have no problem with Snyder being mentioned

No one could ever have expected them to do what they’ve done this year. True, I think their record is kind of an illusion, as they’ve been outgained significantly on the year. But if you get to 10-2 I don’t care if your team is kept together with baling wire and prayer.

Michigan is a different story. Hoke fell into a perfect situation. Rodriguez had finally gotten the talent he needed (Carr had done a poor job recruiting his last two years), and that team was poised to go 10-2 no matter who was the coach. The defense was set to make a huge improvement , and it did. Borges did his best to cram the square peg of Denard Robinson into the round hole of the “West Coast” offense, but Robinson is just so awesome that it didn’t matter.

Don't Panic.

Congrats on your year.

LSU was the only team I was worried about this year and we all know how that played out.

Can’t wait until Jan. 9th.

Will be a great game regardless.

See you there!

Been saying it for a bit..

But this LSU team is Bill Goldberg WCW circa 1997. Spearing and jackhammering the competition, only to stand up and say, “Who’s next?!?”

Why complain about the bowl matchups?

The bowl system archaic , money-driven chamber of commerce ways of picking matchups is what makes college football unique!

Love the rematch,

would have preferred the Big 12 Champion to round out the (PAC12, Big East, SEC East) thing we had going but Bama is a great team and will be a great est for this team
