Neither TAMU or BAMA deserve the #2 spot.  They're schedule is nowhere
near the level of Washington's and FSU's, and I REALLY HATE to admit it,
but the PAC-10 is arguably the best conference in the country right now,
certainly the most unpredictable.  FSU barely lost to the #1 team in the
nation at Miami!  And after these last two games, they absolutely
massacred their opponents, with their first team only playing half the
game.  That goes to show the depth of the FSU squad.  Bama and TAMU have
not proven SHIT this year.  Therefore, BAMA and TAMU fans should fight
it out for the #4 and #5 spots, while FSU and UW battle it out for #2
and #3.

   We have absolutely no say on who the Cotton Bowl wants to invite. 
The reason why the Cotton is considering nd is because they are a better
draw for TV audiences and guess who broadcasts the Cotton Bowl...  You
guessed it, NBC has the Cotton rights and they would love to have nd
play in the Cotton Bowl to bring up their TV ratings.

Njan, schmjan...

Firts of all, we beat Cougar high by 8 pts.  However, the only thing
that should matter is
that we won.  As Vince Lombardi once said "Winning isn't everything,
it's the only thing." 
You talk about Michigan clobbering chs and, yet, you fail to mention, in
your twisted logic,
how chs clobbered Illinois who then tied Michigan.  You also talk about
a not-so-hot Stanford
team that WE beat and then turned around and beat the irish at home,
whom had also tied
Michigan.

And, just to point out how ridicilous the voters of the AP poll are, two
weeks ago Nebraska
beat the shit out of the buffs, yet the buffs are ranked a couple of
spots higher than
Nebraska.  I don't care if Nebraska lost to the Cyclones, on a head to
head contest, the
'huskers proved to have been far superior than the buffs, thus should be
ranked higher than
them.  So, what it comes down to is that the current system sucks. 
However, we have yet to
run out of time in a game, and until we do, I say we deserve the
ranking.  When we do get
outscored, you all can gloat in the fact that we lost.  But I will be
just as proud to be an
Aggie as I am today.  We haven't had the prettiest of victories, but
what these are to some
people squeaks to others are good comebacks (fsu, bama, miami, etc).

If tOSU loses to Michigan (likely), and MSU beats Illinois, then MSU
has a 6-2 record in conference, but 6-5 overall, while tOSU is 5-3 in
conference, but 8-3 overall.

The clause in the contract that gets tOSU to the Citrus Bowl is the
one that allows the bowl folks to opt out if the second place team
doesn't have 8 wins.  If tOSU wins, or MSU and tOSU both lose, tOSU
gets second place, and go to the citrus bowl.  If they lose, and MSU
wins, the Citrus Bowl folks can skip over MSU to go to tOSU, which
they have decided to do.

All the schools that I'm familiar with have the athletic association
a separate legal entity from the university.  All money spent on bowl
trips come from the athletic association and not the university thus
the football programs are not a drain on the university budget unless
you argue that gifts made to the athletic association take away from
money that would have otherwise been donated to the school.

Actually, it's going to be difficult to root for Oklahoma to beat Nebraska,
but I think I can manage it. :-)  I'm not all that excited about the
Buff's Orange Bowl prospects, but I would like to see them win the Big 8.
(I'm not sure any Buff or Husker backers should get too terribly excited
about the Orange Bowl; while the Big 8 looks more evenly balanced this year,
it also doesn't look as strong at the top as it did in previous years.
The idea of going to the O.B. and facing Miami or Florida State on their
home turf is not an inspiring one.)

Well, Mark, glad you asked.  That center of hospitality, your own school
is guilty of one such incident, although I don't recall the year. It
was probably about 10-15 years ago.  Several students (it appeared they
were students) threw dead fish at the ND players and after a time, several
players. . . .visited them . . in the stands and voiced some concern.

Miami never did anything that premeditated and poor in sportsmanship.
Perhaps in that regard they are not representative of Georgia Tech.

Can anyone out there tell me when and why the Carolina/Clemson game is no

national interest on Thursday nights anyway.) .  The only problem I can see

FSU jumps over Texas A&M, with a blow out with Tulane.

Well the polls MO POINTS rule raises it's ugly head again.  With FSU and

Florida could still win the SEC by beating Bama.  But, right now it looks
