Damn... the Big 10 has some tough bowl matchups!

Purdue plays Central Michigan... the MAC champs, and not a bad team if you watched them this year

Michigan State plays Boston College... runner up in the ACC

Penn State plays Texas A&M ... A&M just upset Texas in their last game

Indiana plays Oklahoma State... ok, the only easy game

Wisconsin plays Tennessee.... the SEC runner up

Michigan plays Florida.... eek5

Illinois plays USC ..... eeek16

Ohio State plays LSU .... eeek26


tough games boys, tough games

Not to mention, every sack, tackle for loss, interception, or otherwise will have Bo Pelini and nebraska references. I look for the championship game to be a 4 hour LSU/Nebraska commercial. Recruiting will be sweet.

For being a fan of Nebraska I don't think I have seen you say 1 positive thing or give any respect to a single big 12 team.

I am a nebraska fan and always will be. I will be chearing for all of the big 12 teams in their bowls. However when I come up with my opinion on who wins and loses, I try to look at it objectively. Right now, Oklahoma is the only team that I would feel comfortable putting against anyone else in the country. I dont think they would beat all of them but I think they would play respectable.

Oh, missouri got screwed. They are ranked 6th, they beat KU, but KU gets to go to the BCS bowl and Missouri has to go play Arkansas.

Missouri had to play Oklahoma twice and KU didn't have to play anyone..but missouri is who they lost to. Missouri is definitely the better team. Tom Osborne said when the big 12 was being formed he was against a conference championship game...and this would be one reason why.

I agree they are much better than the cornhuskers that were on the field this fall.

Best team in the country? Not sure about that one. One of the best...maybe. They did give up a game to a lowly stanford team.

They really need a friggen playoff system.

Logically Hawaii should be playing for the championship, as they are the only team to not have even one loss.

Sure their strength of schedule isn't great, but how is that their fault? A playoff system would make teams like that prove they are what their record says they are and take the decisions out of this stupid BCS computer system.

How is it their fault? They scheduled terrible Div 1AA teams instead of trying to legitimize their schedule and picking up tough OOC games. You don't deserve to play in the national championship game when you play the weakest schedule ever and after you play Washington your coach says it was the toughest game you've had all year

Hawaii bitches because they can't get any non conference people to come out there because of costs.

Either way their schedule is ridiculous. Until they man up they will get no BCS love.

Their athletic director is responsible for making the schedule. If they are going to point fingers, they need to point it there. Their complaint is some what legit in regards to non conference people not wanting to visit because of the costs flying a travel roster and associated things to hawaii.

From what I hear they tried scheduling Michigan and they would have none of it.

Again, a playoff system would ensure that only the most worthy teams get to the championship, and the control would lie with the teams and how they play and not some stupid complicated voting system.

I also hear Ohio state didn't have the hardest schedule either.

The last 2 years they played OOC games against Texas, starting next year they have a series with USC - after that a series with Miami, then a series with Cal and a series with Cincinnati, then a series with Virginia Tech - anyone that thinks Ohio State regularly has a weak schedule is out of their fucking mind. They had a 1 year gap between brutality and couldn't find anyone to fill it. Every year they have one OOC game against a top team in a major conference - please find me another team who can say that every season.
