Good matchups.

[StraitShooter]

not really the greatest matchups..lots of these lines will be more than a TD imo

Orale Mames!

Maybe, but there's some intrigue in every game. I'm interested to see how Cincy matches up with UF. I think TCU v BSU is a very interesting game. OSU v OU is two completely contrasting styles. It's a game I won't mind watching. Iowa v GT sounds like a fun game to watch too.

Fiesta Bowl: TCU vs. Boise State

Almost-ran bowl

[FishFace5]

TCU wins by 3 TD's

[wal66]

Alabama -6 (will win by 10+)

TCU -2.5 (will win by 13+)

Georgia Tech -4 (like Iowa)

Oregon -5 (Oregon big)

Florida -5 (game will reach the 60's)

I hate it that Boise and TCU play. They should each get a chance to go against the big bad bcs conference teams. Maybe they both win easily ( which I would predict )making the current system look even worse. I'll also be rooting for undefeated Cincy over one loss Fla.

[Unicorn7]

well a gee wally..I thought the lines would not be so close

I agree with Jello..great matchups

[wal66]

These are my program suggested lines, nothing official. program is generally fairly close and since there is no homefield to add in I expect these will be very close to opening lines factoring healthy teams.

Agree 200%, I HATE that TCU and BYU are facing each other.

[FishFace5]

Wal if we get even close to those projections I'm gonna be BURIED and I mean BURIED in chalk all BCS.

[Junkyard Dog]

cincy ml

[BigdaddyQH]

Alabama -6 (will win by 10+)

TCU -2.5 (will win by 13+)

Georgia Tech -4 (like Iowa)

Oregon -5 (Oregon big)

Florida -5 (game will reach the 60's)

Alabama will open up at around 4. We are already on Oregon -2 on the lead out of Vegas, and will be getting on 'Bama -4.

[daneblazer]

TCU/Boise will be a fun matchup but the two schools deserve better. Realistically though who could they face that would make it more interesting? Ga Tech? Cincinnati?

If UF comes to play they'll blow Cincy out of the water

[pavyracer]

5Dimes has Alabama -4.5 and Oregon -3. This is like the mother of all parlay locks. Parlay this with all your bankroll.

[DrStale]

This has to be one of the weakest BCS lineups I've seen.

Boise and TCU? Christ let the schools play a real conference so we can actually see where they're at.

Texas proved it doesn't belong in the championship game.

Iowa doesn't belong anywhere near a BCS bowl.

Fishy, me too. Bama, Oregon, TCU would be HUGE plays at these lines. I think Iowa has a real chance against Georgia Tech though. I'm still bitter with my Gators so today I would pass on them.

[DrStale]

These lines have to move up don't they? I can't see either of these games being very close.

[mmike032]

give me Bama, Oregon, and GT.
not sure about Fla. They might not be thrilled to be in this game, but if they did play up their potential Cincy doesnt have a chance

[FishFace5]

I'm SHOCKED the lines opened this way. I just made withdraws across the board expecting to not be in love with the bowl lines and wanted to limit my risk. Now i wanna re-deposit and then some. WTF. These openers really got me confused, I was way off with my projections. Do ALL faves not seem like they should be much bigger???

[daneblazer]

The last few years the BCS matchups have sucked. They really should replace the Big East tie in with the Sugar with the Big-12 or Big-10. Nobody wants to see an SEC/Big East matchup except the selected Big East teams fan base.

[mmike032]

the Bama line will get hammered.
better get on it early

My sentiments exactly...pretty sure - all of our sentiments. I think the powers at be had something to do with the Fiesta pairing..lest they both look real good against their big school opponents...It is the equivalent of inviting them to the big party and and containing them to a separate room.

[daneblazer]

All the favorites will get hammered except for GT. Maybe I'm wrong but I kinda like Iowa in that one.

[Jonah]

Wal, are those the real lines or your guesses?

The hypen in my post above was an errant typo.

[Jonah]

All the favorites will get hammered except for GT. Maybe I'm wrong but I kinda like Iowa in that one.

Seems like they are tailored made for playing the "assignment football" needed to stop the option.

[blackbart]

same as march madness, the big conf's conspire to keep the small schools down. they dont want to give tcu or bozee the opportunity to whip a name school from a bcs conf.

On second thought you have a great point here

I love the Bowl games and their contrast in style and out of conference matchups..You are correct

florida will be -10 and will win 35-10

add me to the list as well.

It's more BS from the BCS.


Now the non-majors can't make a "statement", which is what the BCS wanted to avoid.

TCU could beat any of the BCS teams, IMO. Not that they would, but they're certainly capable.

Even given that they were screwed out of a chance at the title, at least give them a shot at Florida or Iowa or Cincinnati.

[JetsMatt85]

Typical bullshit from BCS not giving the small schools a chance. Too scared to see teblow urban n co. get embarassed by a MWC opponent. I honestly feel bad for TCU.

What else could they have done this year? I mean seriously. Is this the BCS"s way of saying this was the BEST POSSIBLE SCENARIO for TCU? what ****ing bullshit

and from a gambling perspective, it took away a window of value. Was hoping for TCU/Florida, to be catching 7+ points and hit the ML.
Will still lay the 3 against boise, but kinda missed out on a potential opportunity.

Just another classic example where the BCS did everything in their power to make sure TCU didn't face a large conference - SEC B10 or Bigeast champ. I can tell you one thing, TCU would have exposed iowa, they matchup against them extremely well.
