im a homer Arkansas fan and we go to a Bcs bowl last yr and now we are ineligible this year Because Alabama and Lsu are in a Bcs bowl....Oh wait they forgot to put the asterisk that said if the two Bcs sec teams play each other and the other team is ranked 6, you can still go to a Bcs bowl....the spirit of the law was not to have three teams taking up 3 of the 5 bowls....So now ranked 6 we go to the cotton bowl.

BCS bowl PIC

Alabama/Lsu Alabama more serving based in loss to Lsu and Osu loss is iowa state
i wanted to see offense vrs defense Ok state vrs Lsu like everyone else

Sugar bowl - look at this shit- 13 ranked Michigan vrs 17 vatech ranked in a showdown(joke) and you overlook Boise

Orange 23 West Virginia ranked vrs 14 Clemson ranked in a showdown (joke)

only bowl right is Oregon vrs Wisconsin

So we are 6th in Nation and Go to the Cotton, Not about KSU they are ranked 8th
it's about being ineligible to tell your recruits you went to Back to Back Bcs games

i want you to have fun at the party, i said tell me or show me you "deserved to be there" You are there based on inelibility by us and we have three teams 1, 2 and 6 but we have to sit out and let number 17 come play....Come play the game, have fun, get out of blacksburg, but you do not deserve it

As a Tech fan and alum here's how I see it...

No one in the world expected us to get a BCS game after the blowout in the ACC Championship. Frank Beamer was as surprised as anyone when they interviewed him following the announcement. It's not a big revelation to say that we don’t have the resumes that the teams we jumped over have. Bottom line is the Sugar Bowl called and said we want you to come down to New Orleans and play. Some stat guy somewhere probably has a bunch of data saying the Tech would bring in a few more dollars than a Boise or a KS, and that was that.
We obviously jumped at the chance and won’t think twice about it.

Sorry to the fans of the other teams, I’ll be the first to say you got a raw deal.

They have to protect their own interests and how many people from BSU are traveling to NOLA?

You'd be surprised... Boise travels extremely well. Lots of these fans have plenty of money. The Fiesta Bowl was packed with BSU fans even though Oklahoma was much closer.
