The latest rumor that ive heard is that the Gator Bowl has extended an invitation to Tech already. I dont think its true since it doesnt make much sense to give an invitation without the confrence championship still to play, and the big 12 still not garunteed 2 teams in the BCS. Though I do think that the gator bowl kinda secretly wants Tech to play their this year.

yeah it's been out in the open for a couple weeks that the Gator Bowl wants Tech.
i'm too lazy to dig up the articles, but their chairman has already said they'll pick us when it's their turn. the big 12 will have 2 BCS teams either way things happen imo. situation #1: mizzou wins the big 12 and goes to the MNC, while Kansas gets an at-large bid situation #2: ou wins the big 12 and gets the automatic BCS game, while mizzou gets an at-large bid. go mizzou. -------------------- ![]() |

and Trump wrote a letter to the Miami president about hiring Leach
i really hope Leach has no interested in leaving. seriously, next couple years...we're supposed to be badass. Graham's 3rd year as a starter, Crabtree, possibly JUCO guys coming in... right now we're the 2nd youngest team in the country, so just imagine how good we should be next year. oh yeah, and our defense will be much better after a whole offseason with Ruff (or a new guy, either way). -------------------- ![]() |

Harrell won the Sammy Baugh Trophy... Kliff and BJ won that too, though.
Leach/Arkansas isn't happening. They aren't looking in his direction. I would root very hard for UCLA this weekend, though. |

UCLA won't happen either, it's just a rumor. Leach won't leave Tech when we have so many starters returning on both sides of the ball. Not to mention he has a $1 million bonus for finishing his contract, which is up in what, 2010? Nobody is going to buy out his contract and/or pay him his $2 million/yr he makes at Tech. Leach probably wouldn't be drawn to UCLA, it's not that much of a step up. Michigan maybe, but I doubt they're looking at him. He also has nowhere to go but up by sticking with Tech for at least another year. If he can ride the backs of Crabtree & Harrell, take advantage of OU & UT starting to show weakness, and pull out a 10 or 11 win season next year he'll double his value and draw the looks of the big teams.

Crabtree isn't eligible to register for the NFL Draft until he is three years removed from high school. He graduated in May 2006, so the earliest he could bolt for the NFL is after next season.
Depending on where he is projected to go, I could definitely see him leaving after 2008. |

Actually, according to BCS rules, Hawaii was guaranteed an automatic bid because they finished in the top 12 in the final standings and they're from a non BCS conference
Kansas got the nod over Mizzou, even though Mizzou beat Kansas and ended up ranked higher in the BCS than Kansas, because the Orange bowl got to pick second from the pool of Big 12 BCS Eligible teams. That doesn't necessarily mean they have to take the second best team from the Big 12, they just get to pick second (in this case, behind the Fiesta Bowl). Oh, and if there were ever a playoff system in college football, it should look like this: 8 teams, the six winners from each BCS conference plus two conference champs with the best record (tiebreakers, including SOS, margin of victory, etc if there are more than two teams with identical records) from the pool of non BCS conferences. Why wouldn't this work? You win and you're in. Of course, a few conferences would have to add conference championship games and remove a D-2 creampuff from their schedule. I don't recall anyone ever bringing this scenario up, but it makes sense. It would shut up teams like Georgia who were jumped by LSU because LSU played an extra game and actually won the SEC. It would also give teams like Hawaii and Utah to have a chance they belong -------------------- ![]() ![]() |

Either way, it shows us even more just how stupid the BCS is. Kansas got the nod over Mizzou, even though Mizzou beat Kansas and ended up ranked higher in the BCS than Kansas, because the Orange bowl got to pick second from the pool of Big 12 BCS Eligible teams. That doesn't necessarily mean they have to take the second best team from the Big 12, they just get to pick second (in this case, behind the Fiesta Bowl). Right, it's the Orange bowl commitee that are the idiots in this case. |

easily? no. i consider this the best bcs game. i think wvu just had a hiccup last week. vtech will spank kansas no hopefully georgia will shut up hawaii once and for all i don't know why everyone hates hawaii. they don't choose their conference and just won games that were placed in front of them. plus colt brennan is pretty good. he's an extremely accurate qb. given their situation we would be making the same argument. plus, they play in hawaii. how cool is that. i'm interested to see this game. as for the championship game...i'm sure lsu will be the favorite. probably. i could care less about this game though. it doesn't even feel like a national championship game. neither team feels deserving. -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

Hawaii didn't have their non-conference games "placed in front of them". Teams sign contracts for which non-conference games they play, so if they wanted a real shot at the title they'd schedule the toughest non-conference games they could. And yes they'll get stomped.

i heard they had texas scheduled a few years ago and they backed out.
michigan scrapped them for app state. no one wants to do a home/home with hawaii because it's too far. oh, and i'm not arguing for them to be in the national championship, though i guess the argument could be made. i think they deserve the bcs though. i'm sure the hawaii bowl has gotten a little old.

I honestly don't think they're deserving of a BCS bowl. They played one ranked team the entire season, and that was #19 Boise St. And why was Boise St #19? Oh yeah because they play in the WAC too. It's a stupid rule that they get an automatic bid just bc they're in a shitty conference and end up in the top 14.

Especially when they have a chance to prove they belong and schedule tough out of conference games but instead schedule a bunch of chickenshit D-2 schools.
