NCAA Football Bowl Schedule 2008 - 2009

The bowls have become the most political, appalling, and sickening thing I have seen in sports.  The NFL is terrible and now the businessmen and political analysts that call themselves sports analysts are killing the sport.  The SEC is an awesome conference but it is not the best conference this year.  The analysts keep reminding everyone of how it is up and down a tough battle every week.  Five, six years ago I agreed.  But I have news for sports fans:  Arkansas, Mississippi State, Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Kentucky are horrible.  Kentucky finished dead last in the SEC and they are bowl eligible?  Come on, they suck!  LSU, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Georgia are good but not great.  Florida and Alabama have great teams this year.  The reason Colt McCoy didn't win the Heisman trophy is because Tim Tebow received a lot of votes that should have gone to McCoy.  Texas is without a doubt the best college football team in the country and what McCoy did this year, even in thier loss, was second to none.  He beat Sam Bradford and Oklahoma and he didn't lose to a non-ranked school like Florida did to Ole Miss (at home).  It's because so much hype is given to the SEC that the Big 12 is short-changed a lot.  I know part of it is because of the huge following and if you put an SEC team in a bowl, it will bring a lot of fans and fill the seats.  This is the part that I hate, the bean-counters have taken over an a non-professional sport and have transformed it into a multi-marketing tool to make ungodly amounts of money.  It is a travesty that Texas is not playing for the National Championship.  It's a travety that Texas loses to the number 2 ranked team in the country at the time and Florida loses to non-ranked Ole Miss and Florida gets to play for the National Championship.  You guys ESPN and other sports analysts have given the SEC a no way to lose foundation that still carries when the conference is down.  I also have news for you Tim Tebow, you are a tremendous athlete and person, but don't downplay the defenses in the Big 12.  Texas' defense is pretty darned good.  Plus how can everyone say that the SEC has better defenses when the offenses in the SEC are horrible.  Auburn 3 Mississippi State 2?  Come on.  They suck!  Vanderbilt goes 1-6 in their last seven games and goes to a bowl?  Where is the argument that some use about it's how hot you are or it's how you are playing at the end of the season that counts?  Vandy sucked down the stretch and the second half of the year.  But people will say they went to a bowl and they are a good SEC team.  They aren't good, they suck and they would be alongside Kansas State or Texas A&M if they were in the Big 12. 

Say and argue what you want but there is no doubt the Big 12 had the best conference and the best players this year.  It's not every year, but it was this year.

Somebody please tell me why Texas and Alabama are not playing each other in a bowl?  The BCS can override the conference goes here and there bullcrap.  I know I would rather see that game than Texas-Ohio State or Alabama-Utah.
