    I suspect that would be the sticking point. It's one thing to lose the traditional match-up when one team is in the NC game, it's another to lose it so one team could have a chance to play in the NC game. While last years Rose Bowl game was an entertaining game, I would have much rather UW played (and lost to) Stanford than TCU. The Rose Bowl game is the Big10's only tie in with a Pac-12 team and I'd like to keep that as a meaningful match-up as much as possible.

    As long as you make the BCS just the 2 semi-final games and the champ game and let the Rose keep it's traditional tie picking the top B10 and Pac12 teams that are not in the top 4 it might be something that can be negotiated. Do away with all of the autobids and just have it pick the top 4 from the BCS standings.

      Rightfully so. It's the only bowl worth watching and the only bowl with any semblance of tradition. One where both teams that make it know how much it means (at least if they're from the Big Ten or Pac-12).

        I'd like to hurl numerous expletives at the Sugar Bowl people today.

        That is all.

            To everyone that is claiming that the Rose Bowl has some sort of magical tradition...it doesn't. Not anymore. Let go. The ship has docked on the other side of the Atlantic and isn't coming back.

                That's what happens when you have 5 bowl games with the SEC.

                  Are you a fan of a team in the B1G? Every year I dream of seeing the Hawkeyes in the Rose Bowl, playing a USC, Stanford, Oregon, Cal, etc, in the granddaddy of them all. The Rose Bowl has tradition. Period.

                    It also would have been much less embarrassing a perfectly logical outcome.
