Hawaii In, Missouri Out

UNTflyer · December 3, 2007

Hawaii gets the Sugar Bowl. Missouri goes to Cotton Bowl to play Arkansas.

SUMG · December 3, 2007

Also the FW Bowl is getting a 6-6 California team.

Wonder how many folks they'll bring:

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- California accepted a bid Sunday to play Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl.

The Bears (6-6, 3-6 Pac-10) had been 5-0 and ranked No. 2 in the AP poll before a 31-28 loss to Oregon State on Oct. 13. Starting with that game, the Bears lost six of their last seven.

Air Force (9-3, 6-2 Mountain West) accepted its bid last week to play in the Dec. 31 Armed Forces Bowl, to be played on the TCU campus. It is the first bowl game since 2002 for the Falcons, who won six of their last seven games.

With a bowl victory, California would finish with its sixth straight winning season under coach Jeff Tedford. The Bears were coming off a school-worst 1-10 record when Tedford took over after the 2001 season.

The game will be a homecoming for California running back Justin Forsett, who played at Arlington Grace Prep, which is only about a half-hour from the stadium where the bowl is played. Forsett has 1,406 rushing yards with 13 touchdowns this season.

Missouri was #1 in the country yesterday... today it doesn't even get into a BCS game.

LSU vs Ohio State for the "national championship"

This Fox Selection show is such a beat-down. Jimmy and Barry are both whoring it up for the BCS.

Someone explain to me how KU beats one very avgerage team all year , Texas A&m and is BCS worthy ???? Their OOC was a JOKE

UNTFan23 · December 3, 2007

I love how Ohio State just moves on up to No 1 despite not having played in 2 weeks. Of course, we saw how well they did last year when they hadn't played in over a month when they got schooled by Florida for the MNC.

untbowler · December 3, 2007

so I assume Troy will get a bowl seeing as how Cal got a selection with a 6-6 record, if not then Troy is getting screwed royally. Thought bowls had to take an 8-4 or 7-5 team before selecting a 6-6 team that went 1-6 down the stretch? Bowls are doing the same crap that Selection Committed for March Madness does.

Their OOC was no different than the joke of teams that OSU played.

LSU at least played Va Tech.

OSU played a $hitty OOC as well , I agree. In the regular season tho , they beat one ranked ( final rank ) team, WISCONSIN.

Can't say the same for KU. They will get hammered by Va Tech

Sucks A$$ , Troy is better than half of those bowl teams.

I hope Waters gets a 2nd bowl agreement for the Belt , we really need it

And OSU whom Troy slaughtered is bowl bound--go figure.

BCS = Joke. Plain and simple. Until they figure out how to do a playoff.

I would just rather eliminate the BCS and then go back to the old way of doing the bowls. Then you would actually get matchups people want.

Smitty · December 3, 2007

Missouri not going to a BCS bowl is indefensible.

hickoryhouse · December 3, 2007

Sun Belt is still pretty young and has no reputation yet. The conference, and hopefully us, needs to keep racking up those OOC wins and then we will get that second bowl tie in. Troy deserves it this year

UNTflyer · December 3, 2007

Someone had a sense of humor to send BYU to Vegas.

runt96 · December 3, 2007

This is sooo wrong. Troy not going??? Mich. should do the right thing and refuse their bowl bid, and so should OSU.

NT03 · December 3, 2007

Someone had a sense of humor to send BYU to Vegas.

Greatness!!!

I've got an idea.... I go to Vegas send a few escorts to the players room , keep em up ALL night.

We get a ton of money 2 gether and bet on UCLA to cover the spread , use that money for the stadium!!

I Miss Booger Kennedy · December 3, 2007

Despite losing to Troy by 24 and winning 2 less games, OSU is in and Troy is out. What a fucking joke.

FirefightnRick · December 3, 2007

Some day, hopefully soon this wrong will be right.

Unbelievable. Troy had one hell of a season. They deserve better.

VideoEagle · December 3, 2007

I must have completely misunderstood the rules. Last year, I THOUGHT part of the way the SBC had a team in the Motor City Bowl was because of a rule that bowls had to pick 7-5 teams over 6-6 teams unless there was both a contractual obligation AND not 7-5 team available. I must have been wrong.

I would rather watch Troy(8-4) over Colorado(6-6)!! I think Troy could represent the Belt and bring a lot of people to that game in Shreveport! I think Troy could beat or make it a good game against Bama!
