I think you mean the Orange bowl and the sugar bowl. The Orange Bowl is a far worse match-up than the sugar bowl, in my opinion. At least VaTech and Michigan are rated semi-high.

Definitely the Orange bowl too, there's plenty of examples of it. Everyone knows how bad the BCS is. Money's everything, it's always been this way.

In the future K-state should just send Frank Martin to stare down the BCS selection committees and we'll get whatever we want.

Holy shit, I just realized that So. Miss is playing in the Hawaii bowl against Nevada while two unranked teams play in the Liberty bowl... The Liberty Bowl was supposed to be C-USA champ vs. an SEC team... that's seriously bullshit.

They're 11-2, ranked, and have a win over a top 10 (albeit overranked) team; they deserve better.

i dont understand why everyone is so upset about Kansas State? they're playing against Arkansas in the Cotton bowl? 2 loss big12 vs 2 loss sec. It's a great game where Kansas State can cap off a tremendous year by trying to defeat a sec team.

yes they clearly deserve MORE than VA tech, but like arkansas, they don't get SCREWED..they still get to play in a highly competitive, watchable, popular game like the cotton bowl.

Boise state now that's screwed. They're the 7th best team in the country and they get to play Arizona State? what a pointless year.

VT and Michigan over us? Fucking laughable.

Oh, and talking about travelling, we sent 45,000 fans to '97 Fiesta Bowl, 40,000 to '97 Cotton and just under 40,000 to '03 Fiesta.

That was such a ridiculous pick. I can't believe Va Tech and Michigan over us. I would have been down with Kansas State and Michigan, but the Va Tech pick is insane.

With that being said, I think the Cotton Bowl is going to be one hell of a game.

I hope BSU drops 100 on them.

like at least you guys get to play a (cough) "storied franchise" like Penn state. It's a pretty decent matchup considering the bcs got blown. Boise was ranked in the top 10 all season and they end up with absolute shit.

I think the most upsetting thing to me as a Kansas State fan is just seeing Michigan and Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl when I know Kansas State is more deserving than those two teams. I am not disappointed with the Cotton Bowl choice though. I know it will be a fantastic game and I think it's a great reward for a team that was picked to finish eighth in the entire conference.

Boise State did get screwed though. It would have been awesome to see a KSU-Boise State match-up, but I guess it was only wishful thinking.

Yeah, but the BCS had their hands tied with the Orange Bowl because of the automatic bid, The Sugar Bowl match-up is far worse since they were both at large bids, and in turn could have picked a far greater matchup.

I know, we actually got a decent matchup. BSU got shafted worse than anyone. Even with KSU, they get to play in the Cotton against Arkansas, that should be an amazing game.

You obviously haven't heard the news. A lot of people at USM are mad that Fedora chose the Hawaii bowl.

Rumored text from Fedora to his players

"We did not turn the Liberty Bowl down and take Hawaii. The Liberty Bowl would not take a C-USA Team this year so I felt like y'all needed to be rewarded by going to Hawaii. Quit *****ing about it on Twitter and Facebook and call me.
Coach Fedora"

Jeez. Well if its true that the Liberty Bowl wouldn't take USM, that's garbage. And IMO, they deserved better than the Liberty Bowl anyways. Even they're better than Mich, ha.
