College Football Bowl Predictions


I just don't understand the way the BCS and AP think. I will be the first to admit that when LSU first started off the season I thought that they were going to go 7-5 again this season. But obviously they are getting better and better as the season goes. They have two loses that come from playing against #1 and #2 in the nation. That's not too bad. I hope that they can win out the rest of the season and see what happens there. But here is what really bothers me. And I would love for someone to explain it. How does USC land a spot in the BCS bowl against Boise State? (prediction) USC lost twice...one of the teams we beat before they played them. Washington was an unranked team when they played USC. Really, its so frustrating to think that USC is constantly in the higher rankings even when they cant prove themselves against weaker teams. I would love for USC to be ranked #1 in the nation just so I know that they would go play either Alabama or Florida in the championship game. I am sure that everyone in the SEC is so sick of hearing about USC and their "bought" rankings that if there were a match up between the two FL or BAMA would make it a point to shut out USC and make them feel pain.

USC is not a great football team. Why does the BCS and AP polls think differently?

Some Conferences have automatic bids to certain games. The rose bowl will always have the PAC 10 winner, the Sugar bowl will always have the SEC winner, this is of course if they are not in the championship. Since one of the SEC teams will end up in the championship then the second team will be in the sugar bowl. That is why Alabama made it to the Sugar Bowl last year. Some of the bowl games have a choice and they have a commitee that chooses the schools they want to play. As long as they are in the top 14 then they can pick whoever they want. This can get a lot more complicated with different scenarios so try not to think about it too hard.
