I think the last rankings before the official ones came out had it right. FSU was still in, but they were 4. TCU was 3 and playing Oregon. That's the way it should have gone down. FSU hasn't looked good this year but they deserved the #4 ahead of OSU and Baylor whose losses were to really ugly.Originally posted by Lempface:
I too would have liked to have seen TCU vs Oregon, but you almost have to put in FSU. They managed to win all of their games and were defending champs.
They would be crazy to blitz. They're getting a TO every possession by forcing fumbles after completed passes.Originally posted by ala_kat2:
Why the hell isn't Oregon blitzing? Winston has ALL DAY to find his receivers. FSU turnovers are the main reason they are not ahead in this game
You're definitely right on. I was speaking more to the conversations I've heard stating FSU should not have been in. The theme I've been hearing is that FSU didn't deserve to be in over TCU, not OSU didn't deserve to be in over TCU.Originally posted by Jon(-24):

I hope not. The uglier this thing turns the more enjoyable the board will be to read and lurk.Originally posted by fredmanthecatfan:

Did Oregon or did Oregon not just GASH the FSU D with a kid who is in the game because it was his wish from the Make-a-Wish foundation?
Proof that if the media says it, the public takes it as the gospel. Bowl officials told them to head to the locker room so sponsors could be seen and set up the stage.Originally posted by domino79:
Over half the fsu team walks into the locker room without meeting their foes after the game mid-field.
Classless, but not surprising. Indicative of today's larger society IMO.
Sad if true, and likely true, money runs college sports now. If true it should have been circulated a lot more, but then that might have made the bowl officials look bad.Originally posted by HeismanCatNole85:

The thing is, Alabama did the same thing. The same thing happens constantly. Auburn's whole team didn't come over and line up to shake hands after last year's Rose Bowl either but its only a story if FSU does it. Kirk used that moment to paint FSU as the villain like ESPN had done all year. If he isn't mistaken and make an issue out of it, there is nothing to see here.Originally posted by jauk11:
