Cincy goes to the Sugar to play Florida. So the Orange will be Georgia Tech vs Iowa.

Cinci-Florida isn't bad. It at least potentially keeps the argument for a split title on life support.

Good to see it was Iowa chosen, but that matchup with Georgia Tech is rather dull.

Lets be honest, Georgia Tech and anyone is rather dull.
That said, go Iowa.

Yeah whatever game features the ACC team is almost unwatchable by definition.
I can't say any of these matchups really excite me.

And to flog a dead horse, I'll reiterate that Texas did nothing to deserve this berth over TCU or Cinci. Nothing.

Re: College Football 2009: Bowl College Stupidity Rankings
Pretty lame that TCU/Boise St are playing each other. BCS Power conferences suddenly afraid to play these non-AQ schools?
I also noticed Cincinnati was #3, meaning they were going to the title game if Texas had lost. Not sure I agree with that ranking, but its clear being the team that played more recently helped them.
Oh yeah, and regarding Penn St, i'll just say "i told you so."

Personally, if those are the 10 teams I wish they'd have swapped Boise State and Iowa. We'd be better able to benchmark the MWC and Big East against the "power" conferences with my approach.
In a word, yup.

They started the season higher in the pre-season polls. That's all it was in my mind.

It appears I did what I thought was impossible, overestimate the greed of the BCS.

Re: College Football 2009: Bowl College Stupidity Rankings
Yeah. I'm just *****ing about this horrible system. Some small consolation is that these matchups aren't very interesting and I don't like Texas or Bama so I might be able to resist tuning in for these games.

Re: College Football 2009: Bowl College Stupidity Rankings
Of course Cincinnati would go, they're the one still in a BCS conference.
It's amusing that we could have as many as three undefeated teams when the year ends and yet somehow some people find that this system is ideal and works correctly because strength of schedule and rankings determine it to be right.
There really is one born every minute, the BCS just makes it a debate over exactly who Barnum was referring to: The people that believe the BCS or the people that still follow college football with this horsesh-t system deciding who wins.

Re: College Football 2009: Bowl College Stupidity Rankings
The funny thing is that despite the extra game we've gotten this way where there's multiple undefeated teams. Everybody's gaming the schedule to get this result... things weren't this cutthroat in previous bowl eras.
edit: the reason i say this is because in past eras there were few cases of dual undefeateds... stuff like that happened, and so did split national titles... but you'd think with a college landscape that appears more level you wouldn't have so many undefeated teams... but everybody is going out there and gaming their schedule... and its only right that they do.
