Title: Should the Nokia Sugar Bowl be renamed????

I think the BullCaCa Bowl would be an adequate title.

How is it you can decide national champs without the #1 team included?

BCS Ranking sucks arse.

I heard something about this, I think.  Does this involve USC?

What happened?  I could read an official report, but I have no context because I don't follow sports enough, and I'm interested in your take on what happened.

USC is ranked #1 according to the ranking at the end of the season, but, for some reason, the #2 and #3 teams are playing for the championship, kinda bogus, eh?

It should be LSU- USC

Oklahoma didn't even win it's conference. They lost the title game if I am correct.

Right on, but TV ratings and money are affecting this championship....

I for one am boycotting it, and prolly will not watch college football anymore.

USC is ranked #1 by two of the three poles......... unfortunately for them, the one that they are not ranked #1 in is the only one that matters....... it doesn't matter anyway, they are gonna get killed by the #4 team by at least 20 points, and show everyone they didn't deserve the high ranking they got. Thier schedule was no harder than TCUs.

I absolutely loath the marketing "strategy". The "Nokia" bowl. The " Verizon" bowl. "Qualcomm" Stadium. "Staples" Center. "Network Associates" Coliseum.

Bleh...

Ever play Madden Football lately? If you don't know who owns the gawdamned name, you have no idea where the park actually is.

As the biggest state fanboy of all time, your opinion comparing the relative merits of anything even tangentially related to Kalifornia to anything not has no credibility.

Just kidding (sort of).  

UM rolls USC.

I hate USC... UCLA fan here. The Pac-10 has more talent than any other conference in the country and I'll stand by that! Michigan is going down in flames!

This one'll be over at 1/2 time.
