TCU's win means nothing. "Big" 10 is by far the most overrated conference in the history of college sports.
That's your opinion and you are entitled to it.
In my opinion it means a lot more than "nothing." TCU is a non-aq school so just to get into a BCS game is great. For them to win a game is even better. First non-big school to win the Rose Bowl since 1936 or some such year. Seems like something to me.
I am not saying TCU is the best team in the country and am not saying they would win a playoff if we had it. However, the win means far more than "nothing" except to some bitter hater who just likes spewing... in my opinion.
TCU won- they deserve credit and congrats is in order. Being a Badger basher is really not reasonable nor is it appropriate- Wisconsin had a good season-it obviously did not end with a win.
In these discussions, it seems that we loose sight of more important issues such as sportsmanship- being a good winner and a good looser
TCU has a great football tradition that most just do not appreciate because it dates back several decades- Davey O'Brien - imagine that- it is the guy the Trophy is named after
The team that beat Syracuse and Jim Brown in the Orange Bowl- ( I think it was the Orange Bowl 28-27)
Appreciating the moment and what we experienced seeing the game seems more important than having the last word- what we saw was more important that the last word
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
As my dad and I were walking around before the Lightning game last night we saw the Gators team buses pull into their hotel on Harbour Island. I was within about 10 feet of Urban Meyer. It was too dark for a picture but I'm not sure I would have taken one even with perfect lighting...Urban was clearly pretty emotional about it all but it was really a cool thing to see. I'm not a Gator fan at all, but having lived in Florida my entire life I fully understand the significance of what I saw last night. Urban Meyer getting off the team bus after coaching his last football game for the Florida Gators-pretty awesome.
Stanford v. Va Tech in what should be an interesting game. Stanford played a great season except the 4th quarter against Oregon. Va Tech played a great season except the game against the 1aa school they lost to (spacing on name). Stanford favored by 3.5. I think Stanford will cover but I think Vatech has come a long way since those first two losses.

I heard an interesting stat on Ohio St football on the radio this morning.......0-9 against SEC teams in bowl games all time. Wonder if they will end that skid tonight?
"Stanford played a great season except the 4th quarter against Oregon."
Larry Oregon was down 21 to 3 after the first quarter. After that the Ducks smoked Stanford 49 to 10. I think Stanford actually had 3 bad quarters this year.

Ok, maybe it was last year that Stanford played a bad 4th against Oregon but my point remains the same they played all but 3 quarters, of the season, great and for that they get... absolutely nothing. Well, an Orange Bowl win is big for them but it's all about the one game.
Can't believe Mallet gave up that pic after his team blocked the punt and gave Ark such great field position. Damn...I actually thought he Hogs might pull it out for a second there.
If you watched the game, you saw how difficult it is to stop a player like Terrelle Pryor. Oregon found out last year, and they will have the same challenge against Auburn.
I assume LSU will beat A & M tomorrow night but I haven't been following either team too closely. Who you rooting and/or betting for? I know at least one ALT who will be rooting for LSU, eh!?

To tie a bow on the season I guess it's hard to argue about the SEC being the best conference. Who is second? I feel that the Big 12, Big 10 and Pac 10 are all pretty close this year. I think the need for a playoff is becoming more and more evident each year. I am not saying TCU would beat Auburn but I wish they could have a chance. A playoff system would give them that chance. It's so simple I don't know why the NCAA is holding back. It would be HUGE money. The fact that people watch meaningless bowl games would continue as you could easily have all the crappy bowls you want. The playoffs (even if they have bowl names attached to the games) would draw so many more people than the current bowl game system. If Mark Cuban follows through with his statements he will end up really rich. Wait a minute... well you know what I mean.

Wrong. Big ten has the most national championships. >>
Wrong again as usual.
If you are strictly talking college football championships, the Ivy League wins that one.

In what world is the ivy league a major football conference?

I was thinking the same thing

Harbaugh could be headed to Michigan.

Could they do any worse at this point?
Ohio State is 19-22 in post season bowl games, with 7 National Titles.
Arkansas is 12–22–3 in post season bowl games, with 1 National Title.
Should be interesting!
GO BUCKS!!!

Ohio State......6-3 in BCS games.
You know, the SEC LOVER that refuses to identify "HIS" team?

Florida State I believe.
