It occurs to me that you may want to change your avatar Horkolad.  Did you see any good games this weekend?

every single starter on michigans defense should be benched for the bowl game.

" The Big Ten owns the SEC in recent bowl matchups, friends"

Not my Auburn Tigers.  Other than last year, when we beat Va Tech,  where we went undefeated and got screwed out of the National Championship, we've beaten Wisc and Penn St the years before that.  I don't remember exactly but it's been in the last 3 or 4 years.  

Here are some pretty impressive stats about AU.  I think we don't get enough respect, even after going undefeated last year, but these numbers are pretty impressive if you ask me:

Auburn now has won 24 of its last 26 games overall and 17 of its last 18 SEC games. And five of its last six games against top-10 teams and five of its last six against Alabama. And four straight Iron Bowls, three straight postseason bowls and two straight games against Georgia.

yeah- Auburn has been tough and they haven't been getting the press they deserve.  i think it was the 2002 season (2003 bowl game) when they beat penn state.

I'm just curious to see who we will play in probably, the Capital One Bowl.  If Ohio St. doesn't get the BCS at large bid, I think we'll get them.  If not, we'll probably get Wisconsin.  But these guys think maybe we are deserving of an at large bid, which I would have to agree with, because I feel we're playing as well as anybody right now - and if you don't believe me, just watch a replay of the games against UGA and the absolute domination of Bama.

I doubt we'll get it, but if they want a team that's gonna be fun to watch and bring alot of fans wherever we go, I think we'd be a great pick.

Go Buckeyes!!!! :) :)

Ducks showed their worth and better get a BCS bowl bid.  Only loss of the year was to USC....we went 10-1 and won three in a row after our starting quarteback broke his leg.  What more can you do....the are ahead of Notre Dame in the rankings but will probably get punked becasue everyone thinks Notre Dame is the bomb.....why, I have no idea.

maybe i haven't seen the Ducks play enough, but what i have seen i haven't been impressed with.  i think they'd be 7-4 if they were in the SEC or big 10

[doEVILslittle]

so what's with the big ten not utilizing a head to head tie-breaker? Penn State won this championship outright and Ohio State doesn't deserveto get any "share" of our championship...and they know it too

and yeah the oregon ducks should definitely be ahead of ND in the rankings with one loss to the #1 and i'm glad the BCS put them over the irish because with two losses it wouldn't be fair to put them ahead based solely on the name of the school

here's what it's all about in this podcast:
