[The Chairman]

Let's bring some weenies, cuz it's goin' to be a barbecue both on and off the field.

Read a great quote on college football: "Now is the time when the greatest regular season in sports gives way to the worst post-season in sports."

Bizarre to think that Georgia,which may be the consensus #2 team in the country at season's end, is playing in the Who-Gives-A-Rats-Behind Bowl, whilst leading college football powers like Northern Illinois, Louisville and an unranked Wisconsin team go to the BCS bowls.

The anti-playoff crowd did not do themselves any favours with the line-up this year.

Only two from any division are allowed to play a BCS bowl. With the Tide and the Gators in, the rest of the SEC is excluded, including 4 others in the top ten. Ga, LSU Texas A&M and SC all have to go to crap bowls.

Who made up that stupid rule?

Does America want to watch quality football over the holidays or are they a bunch of homers that only want to watch their team play? (Yeah, I know the answer)

Must spread the advertising demographic around geographically. Sure glad they don't make these boys play like professional football, where money is a chief concern.

Since only one bowl really means anything, does it really matter? In my opinion even the 4 game playoff isn't enough they need a play off system that includes all conference champions, and maybe runner ups no special invites, win and your in!! Throw the polls out the window, but that's just my 2 cents

The amount of "crap bowl games" every year amazes me. It used to be an honor to go to a bowl. Now every "advertiser" has a bowl out there.... at long as you win 5 or 6 games, you can play some other mediocre team that won 5 or 6 games.

Exactly. There are now 35 bowl games. 35!!!!!!!!!!! The only reason they added a 12th game was to get teams to that six win total. Now 6-6 gets you to a bowl. However, there is now a lot of discussion among FBS commissioners to require a 7 win season to be able to play in a bowl. If this happens some of the smaller bowls will probably go away but that's a good thing in my opinion.

First the reports said Kirby... now they say...

The Associated Press: AP source: Auburn hires Gus Malzahn as head coach

It's not in the ScubaBoard ToS, I can safely say. I guess I'll just have to ban the entire BCS committee for their insolence.
