I could see Mizzouri/Auburn winner in Sugar, loser in Capital 1. How about Cotton Bowl making their #2 Big12 selection Texas and matching them against A&M. Jerry Jones Stadium would be standing room only!

If Clemson are in top 14 they are still the discussion. All depends on how badly Orange Bowl wants ACC team. Do they deserve a BCS spot is a much different question than will they get one?

If they think Clemson will sell more tickets, they will choose them over Bama. Remember that Orange is the ACC home bowl, I would have to imagine that the conference has certain corporate ties to the bowl that could provide $$$ "motivation". The Rose Bowl is different, it sells out every year...

I think that it is possible we end up in the Rose Bowl. It really comes down to who the Orange Bowl chooses with their replacement pick, Clemson or Alabama. After that the Rose would get the next replacement pick. A Michigan State loss should drop them out of the top 14 and therefore BCS...

Orange Bowl will have first selection to replace FSU, but that may be Clemson. The 2nd selection would then go to the Rose Bowl which would pit ASU/Stanford winner versus BCS championship replacement. Would the Rose Bowl choose Alabama? Hard to argue they would not. After that the selection...

This a long shot, but there is a fairly realistic scenario that puts Bama in BCS title game... Texas A&M beats Missouri tonight Missouri Beats Auburn next week Michigan State beats Ohio State next week. We probably stay in top 5 after this loss. Just a matter of Bama vs Ok State in that...

The game was not well played or well coached. The two are not mutually exclusive. Bottom line, it was a bad day to have a bad game. Tomorrow morning CNS will be back to the grind focusing on the next task which I suspect will be recruiting and planning for next season. Yes there is still a...

I suspect that we know which game will be playing in the weight room all off season.

What UCLA proved is that a team with the athletes to match up with Oregon can shut them down. UCLA just does not have the depth yet to sustain that for 60 minutes. Barr, Zumwalt, and Jack are solid backers, but we all know that on the whole the UCLA defense cannot hold a candle to the Bama...

Re: Reuben Foster Says He Will Only Visit 3 Schools So my daughter texts me yesterday and says that she got to hang out with an inside linebacker being recruited by Alabama this week. She lives in San Diego, so I thought someone was pulling her leg. Of course I check and find out that Foster...

While the bottom fell out at the barn, no one expected much from them. Arkansas was an experiment at best because of Petrino's bike ride. LSU however was supposed to be great this year. They had all that talent coming back this year from a team that was in the BCS title game and instead of...

Too many variables. Just look at the last two years. Any one of the following teams win games after our loss and we don't win one or two championships because we are not in the BCS championship: Stanford 2011, Oklahoma State 2011, K-State 2012, Oregon 2012. If this happens there is no dynasty...

If you think back to what most pundits were saying at the end of last year this was supposed to be LSU's year since they had everybody coming back and we were losing so much talent. A few comments about this: First, there are no guarantees. Just because you have the most talent does not mean...

2009 Bama: Undefeated, beat 4 top ten teams, 6 top 25 teams, escaped against Tennessee 2012 Bama: One loss, beat 4 top ten teams, 5 top 25 teams, escaped against LSU In my opinion the one loss at home to a non top-10 A&M and the close call against Georgia makes the 2012 team the weakest of the...
