[NU Sports] Big Ten bowl picture ...

[Beamsley, Jeff]

As distasteful as it may sometimes be, you have to pull for BT teams
once we enter the post season.  Every BT win means more money for NU and
more prestige for the league (which helps NU recruiting).

Its about 99.9 per cent sure Wisky is going to Pasadena. Do we root
against them for running up the score on us (and a few others ) or do we
stick together and know that beating TCU or whomever enhances the
conference's standing ?

Not much surprise at the top of the heap today, but some surprises on
the bottom - most notably Iowa plummeting perhaps out of a New Year's
Day bowl.

The B(C)S picture is getting interesting as well, as we'll have to see
if both TCU and Stanford get into that top four automatic-bid slot ...
then if the Rose Bowl can work out some desperate deal to keep Stanford
out west instead of getting TCU, as neither team promises to bring many
fans but at least the Cardinal would bring some to Pasadena (not like it
will be needed with all of Wisconsin making the trek west).

As of tonight, the best guess ...

BCS TITLE: Oregon vs. Auburn
- Lots of scoring, lots of missed tackling and for the love of the rest
of the nation, PLEASE go Ducks so we don't have to have another SEC
champion rammed down our throat, especially one with such an awful
defense

ROSE: Wisconsin vs. TCU
- Not sure if Pasadena can get out of taking the Froggies, which is just
wrong. Also not sure if anything can stop Wisconsin right now.
Unfortunately, we can't see Bucky vs. Oregon. Thanks, B(C)S. You suck!

SUGAR: Alabama vs. Ohio State
- With essentially the first two picks, they can at least get a good
matchup and take another SEC team (Bama beat the Hogs) vs. the Big Ten
to get a preseason #1 vs. #2 showdown.

ORANGE: Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia
- With the choice between Stanford traveling cross country or the Big
Least team, suddenly the folks in Miami are big South Florida fans to
see the Mountaineers (who actually travel well) come south for a border
war

FIESTA: Nebraska vs. Stanford
- A Big Ten vs. Pac 10 game of two tough-nosed football teams and
coaches - and Nebraska's fans will make up for Stanford's unsold seats

CITRUS: Michigan State vs. Louisiana State
- The Spurned-by-Saban bowl should be hard-hitting and give Sparty their
best chance for a big bowl win in years

OUTBACK: Penn State vs. South Carolina
- With Iowa's fall, JoePa's and PSU are the bigger name here to face off
against Spurrier in a battle of coaching legends

GATOR: Michigan vs. Florida
- Again, Iowa's loss opens the door for Big Blue's name to pass 'em up
and for the Gator to get a game with teams people actually care about
for once

INSIGHT: Iowa vs. Oklahoma State
- Should the Cowpokes lose tonight, they slip behind bigger names ATM
and OU in the Big XII pecking order, leaving them to take it out on Iowa
... unless Illinois wins big and makes their claim for Phoenix next week

TEXAS: Illinois vs. Texas Tech
- Could be a fun offensive duel in Houston, but Iowa could slip here as
well if the Illini finish strong and bring out their supposed Chicago
media market ties.

DALLAS: Northwestern vs. Kansas State
- Here's hoping for a purple paradise in the old Cotton Bowl on January
1 ... and for an NU Wildcat WIN!

GO CATS!!!
