The BIG figured out it wasn't a good idea with the current format.We need to drop the 9th conference game. The message has been sent.
What? Big 10 plays 9.The BIG figured out it wasn't a good idea with the current format.
1-BamaWhat is happening ? I'm standing in an airline queue and can't catch tv
Tell that to their handbook:The Rose doesn't have to take the highest ranked team, it seems.
What? Big 10 plays 9.

Also their chairman said they would take the highest ranked team.
Haha Chris Peterson just called out ESPN for drawing out this whole rankings show.
My bad meant ACC and SEC. BIG and PAC only ones to actually go to it.What? Big 10 plays 9.
It's a shame that there wasn't an upset..... either CU or Va Tech.... we would have been able to settle all of these arguments!!
Anyway..... I hear that it is Alamo bound for us!
There are two P5 conferences that play nine conference games. Each has had a two lost champion in the past two years just miss the CFP (Stanford last year and now PSU).
Drop the 9th game in lieu of another P5 game.
Even better there's a later show on this evening to discuss the top 4 again. Over saturation much?
USC is a much better team than CU. they proved it.I have no idea how any of you guys get excited for the Alamo bowl. CU is more deserving of the rose bowl than USC is.

I won't complain if somehow CU gets the Rose Bowl bid, but USC deserves it.

In fairness, think back two months. With a little perspective it's hard to not get excited for any bowl. Yes, we wanted more, but the very fact that we were in the discussion for more is amazing, all things considered, and I'm just excited to go see the Buffs play one more time while knowing that the best is yet to come. What a ride the Rise has been, and how exciting to look towards the future with optimism now. Besides, spending a few days in San Antonio isn't the worst way to end a great year.I have no idea how any of you guys get excited for the Alamo bowl. CU is more deserving of the rose bowl than USC is.
Because CU deserves to be in the Rose Bowl. On it's own, there is nothing wrong with the Alamo, but if CU gets knocked behind of USC because they played an extra CHAMPIONSHIP game, then that is bull****, plain and simple. Buffs ended regular season ahead of USC and USC sitting at home doing nothing should never move them ahead of a team that went and played an extra game against the 4th ranked team in the country.Why wouldn't you be excited for the Alamo Bowl?
USC is better, but not more deserving. Even being better is arguable based on head to head. They won by 4 at their house against our backup QB.This
I hate USC and their arrogant fans, but they are better.
How are they a "much better" team when they only beat us by 4 with us having our starting QB and unquestioned leader injured?
The only "much better" team we played all season is Washington.
I don't follow the logic that can say that the better team is not more deserving.USC is better, but not more deserving. Even being better is arguable based on head to head. They won by 4 at their house against our backup QB.
