19-17 Oregon State GW FG with no time left on the clock. They gave the kid another shot. They had the ball 2nd and goal at the 2 1/2 and elected just to kneel it back at the 7 to get the straight angle for the FG. Phuck USC. Oregon State now has to beat Oregon. The game is at Oregon State.
Riley is one hell of a coach. I dont understand how USC will be co Pac-10 champs with OSU if they each win out. Just another failure from the Pac-10 commissioner. Maybe Im wrong.
It's that dumb rule with every conference that doesn't have a championship game. Unfortunately, I have to deal with it also, since we are co champions of the Big Ten with OSU, despite the fact that we beat them. Bleh.
All that matters is USC isn't in the Rose Bowl. Now this means we may finally get a USC/SEC matchup possibly. (Georgia or Bama) vs USC in the Sugar?
I'm torn on it actually. I'd love for PSU to play and beat the crap out of USC in the Rose Bowl...instead of Oregon State...who we beat the crap out earlier in the year (sigh). So I have to root for Oregon next week against Oregon State...and as entertaining as it would be to have USC sent elsewhere, I can't because it would be painful to have a rematch with OrSU with PSU.
So let's project, shall we? Let's say it's OU vs Florida in the NC. The order of rotation this year is Fiesta, Sugar, Orange. But before we even get to the rotation, we have to take care of automatic bids being moved to the NC game (i.e., Big 12 and SEC). So Fiesta and Sugar get to replace their teams before we start the rotation. Fiesta picks Texas (Big 12 replacement selected over USC) Sugar picks Bama or Georgia (depending on how they finish out the season) On top of that, the Rose automatically get Oregon State and Penn State, so they are done. The Orange takes ACC champ. Now back to the rotation. The Fiesta, looking back fondly at 2005, easily goes with USC, for a Texas/USC rematch. The Sugar selects Utah for a Georgia/Bama vs Utah matchup. The Sugar passes on Ohio State, as they stunk up the joint in 07, saving Ohio State from yet another SEC thumping. So here's your scenario: NC = Florida vs Oklahoma Rose = Oregon State vs Penn State Fiesta = Texas vs USC Sugar = Bama/Georgia vs Utah Fiesta = ACC Champ vs Big East Champ If Oregon State loses vs Oregon, who is their replacement to make the BCS? Ohio State. NC = Florida vs Oklahoma Rose = USC vs Penn State Fiesta = Texas vs Ohio State Sugar = Bama/Georgia vs Utah Fiesta = ACC Champ vs Big East Champ Of course, there is the small task of Oklahoma getting past Oklahoma State next week and Missouri in the Big 12 CG. Note: Boise State cannot make an at-large, as non-BCS at-large bids are limited to just 1.
Many of you know my wife is an Oregon St. grad so I have a happy beaver tonight. All of you know that's always good. dme that if they beat Oregon next week we will be there. Sounds good to me. Go Beavs!!!
