Gee whiz! That was fun! We had to wait all day long for Fox to tell us what any honk could have predicted all day: the five BCS bowl matchups.
I'm not surprised by what we got, but I am disappointed. Why do we have to have a two-loss Ohio State team in a BCS game and not undefeated Boise State? And, hell, they put them with a Texas team that is pissed off and whose fans will make the relatively short trip to Glendale, AZ for the game. Can you say another Buckeye Beatdown?
It is because Ohio State is a golden goose for bowls. Their fans travel well, they buy tickets, they rent hotels, they spend money in these host cities. To hell with if they could actually give Texas a game: we just need their fans to show up.

If they could justify it, any bowl would love to bring Notre Dame in. The Irish rewarded their boosters by heading to the Hawaii Bowl. Sucky season, but at least you can spend Christmas in Honolulu!
The ACC, which has been a running joke for a few years now, placed 10 of their 12 schools in a bowl game. The basketball crazy conference can't even get 10 teams in the NCAA Tournament in two years!!! Cincinnati is in the Orange Bowl.

We have these awesome matchups: Florida Atlantic vs Central Michigan, Louisiana Tech vs Northern Illinois, Rice vs Western Michigan and Tulsa vs Ball State. Hasn't Detroit suffered enough with the Lions that you are going to force FAU-CMU on them????
And the first bowl out of the gate? Navy vs Wake Forest. They've already freakin' played this year!!!!!!!
