Rose: USC 49, Illinois 17Sugar: Georgia 41, Hawaii 10
Thus far we've watched a total win margin of 63 points. If my predictions hold true, that number will continue to grow by a large margin over the next two nights. Way to go, BCS.
I hate to be that typical fan piling on the system and I'm not here to demand a playoff. It would be nice, but simply tweaking the system so that it ensures the best teams are playing would solve some significant problems.
Hawaii might be among the top 40 teams in college football and Illinois among the top 20 teams but both were embarrassingly mismatched because bowl officials thought they make some money off of fans willingness to travel.
How fun would a USC-Georgia matchup have been? Since we have to include the best mid-major program, I'd have been curious about a Illinois-Hawaii Sugar Bowl. The Illini might have taken it a little more easy on the Warriors and won by just a couple touchdowns while keeping things interesting. Missouri-Virginia Tech would have made far too much sense, but since Kansas was all excited about being decent this year the Orange passed over the clearly better team.
Since it's impossible for us to turn away, the best we can hope for is that these games are indeed blowouts and casual fans decide not to watch. The only event that will ignite change is if the system doesn't make as much money as expected and that just might be the case as we're in for four straight blowouts, title game notwithstanding.
) and I think OU-WVU will be pretty entertaining, although I'm not sure how long it will stay close. At least the two major bowls that everyone expected huge blowouts in, are over, and the predicted closer games have a chance for awesomeness.
