They got run good running play off for almost 20 yards, and then the next play Rivers fumbled the ball. Terps have the ball with 1 minute to go inside the 30 with a chance to get the GW FG. Its 24-23.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Hey Discojunge, Which side are you on in the SC/Clemson battle? I think you said before, but I forgot I hate USC much more than Clemson, which merely annoys me. And Clemson beat one of my top three most hated teams in Florida State, so I'm rooting for them. Also: same colors as Tennessee, and their coach, while a Bowden, is much cooler than Lou "my heart will explode if we do so much as have a holding penalty against us" Holtz.

MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Im rooting for the Gamecocks to beat Clemson since a Clemson loss means the Terps would be the #2 seed in the ACC and go to the Toyota Gator Bowl vs #2 Big East Team on January 1rst which could be Pittsburgh West Virginia or Miami (if Miami loses to Pittsburgh). I dont think playing Miami in Florida (Jacksonville) would be a good matchup (remembers Maryland getting spanked by Florida in the Orange Bowl a few years ago). Maryland already beat WV 34-7 this year. Pittsburgh would be a tough game.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Im rooting for the Gamecocks to beat Clemson since a Clemson loss means the Terps would be the #2 seed in the ACC and go to the Toyota Gator Bowl Well Clemson/South Carolina has no effect on Maryland because its a non-conference game. As long as Maryland avoids an upset to Wake Forest next week, they are going to the Gator Bowl. Even if they lost next they'd finish in a tie for 2nd with Clemson and they beat Clemson so they'd probably still get the nod although the Gator Bowl wouldn't be under any obligation to take Maryland over Clemson. Anyways...you can pencil Maryland into the Gator Bowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Question: Is the Rose Bowl going back to the classic Big 10 champ vs. Pac 10 champ (or the 2nd place team if the champ team goes to the title game) this year? Or have they pretty much said "Fuck tradition" since last year's game? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 (edited) *resists urge to go on 5 page rant about the BCS ruining the Rose Bowl* In any event...the Rose Bowl is always tied to the Pac-10 and Big Ten except in year's they host the national championship. Michigan will go the Rose Bowl automatically now barring an armaggedon scenerio where USC and LSU both lose and you get a two loss team in the Sugar Bowl. The Rose Bowl is all about tradition but the Orange Bowl fucked them over last year by taking Iowa instead of allowing them to take Ohio State's spot (since they were playing for the national championship) and have the Big Ten represented in the Rose Bowl. This year the Rose Bowl will take Washington State, assuming USC is in the Sugar Bowl...well unless they blow against Washington which they appear they might do... FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK...Wazzu blows it. No Pac-10/Big Ten match-up in the Rose bowl for a THIRD straight year. FUCK THE BCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have fun in the Holiday Bowl losers.

Bored 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Well Washington State just fucked everything up beyond solving the Holiday Bowl picture that everyone is talking about. The Fiesta Bowl will have first pick this year (at least that's what I've heard but you can never know with the BCS) and they'd probably take Texas, assuming they don't blow their game against A&M, and then Rose Bowl will pick 2nd to fill USC's open spot, assuming they are in the Sugar Bowl. My guess at this point is they'll take the SEC champ now. Gee great never see a Big Ten/SEC match-up on January 1st. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not going to win you over since your an SEC fan and believe me I'd rather have the SEC champ over Florida State which might be the other alternative in the Rose Bowl. Personally I think they should move the Outback Bowl off January 1st as it doesn't have the same tradition as the other games that day and again you already get a more prestigious SEC/Big Ten match-up in the bowl formerly known as the Citrus Bowl. Should add now with Washington St. gone, Ohio State probably slips back into a BCS bowl as an at-large. Edited November 23, 2003 by Bored Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 Actually OSU has no guarentee of a BCS bowl. If Texas moves up to #4 in the BCS they automatically get an at-large berth and if Washington St. wins today the Rose Bowl is going to take them as they want a Pac-10/Big Ten match-up, assuming USC wins out and goes to the Sugar Bowl. That would then put Ohio St. in the Corporate Whore Bowl, I mean Capital One Bowl. Forgot about the #4 automatic rule. But the reason the Fiesta is so big on Ohio State is that they brought in an estimated 120,000 to the Tempe area last year. Not that they would bring in that many since its not for the national title. And the fact that if K-State or the Florida/Georgia/Tennessee winner beats LSU or Oklahoma, I think both LSU or Oklahoma get BCS bids over Ohio State.

teke184 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 If K-State and the SEC East champ win, the BCS bids would go to: K-State (Big 12) SEC East champ (SEC) Florida State (ACC) Miami, Pittsburgh, or West Virginia (Big East) Michigan (Big Ten) USC (Pac Ten) Oklahoma (At Large) Texas or, less likely, LSU (At Large) Oklahoma is a no-brainer because even a one-loss Oklahoma would still be a top-3 BCS team. Texas is a harder choice but their current ranking shows that they'd probably vault ahead of LSU. LSU's current BCS numbers are about 12 points. Given that the best portion of their BCS numbers is their poll ranking, that would immediately disappear following a loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted November 23, 2003 BCS problem arises for Big 12 League working to ensure champ will get in a major bowl By BLAIR KERKHOFF The Kansas City Star You want Bowl Championship Series controversy? How about a scenario where Kansas State or Missouri wins the Big 12 championship game and doesn't end up in a Bowl Championship Series game, which is promised to the league winner? What? The BCS rule says its championship game matches the first- and second-place teams in the final BCS standings. Other rules stipulate a team from a BCS conference like the Big 12 gets an automatic bid as an at-large team and that no more than two teams from one conference can play in BCS bowls. If an undefeated Oklahoma narrowly loses at Arrowhead Stadium on Dec. 6, the Sooners could fall to no lower than second, given what would be a huge lead in the BCS standings entering the game. Also, Texas, fifth in the latest standings, could move up to No. 4 by the final week. Does that mean Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl, Texas in the Fiesta, and Kansas State or Missouri in the Cotton, left out of a BCS bowl? Hold on, cat lovers. The Big 12 office is aware of the situation, and commissioner Kevin Weiberg spent much of his Monday on the phone with other commissioners (BCS officials) talking about this scenario. “What would happen is the champion would be protected,” Big 12 associate commissioner Tim Allen said. “All along we believed the (conference champion) should be the first team in.” In this case, K-State or Missouri would replace Texas in the BCS.
