BCS Results: Texas, ‘Bama In Title Game; TCU-Boise State Relegated To Fiesta

There’s math all over this intro. “It’s time to solve the equation.” “But do not tell us our math is wrong.” “Because we are running a cartel, and cartels determine their own math.” The only thing ameliorating any anger over the BCS’s crackpot method of determining a champion are the t-shirt jerseys worn by TCU’s cheerleaders. Well done, ladies.

The Rose Bowl is the first announcement, and a predetermined one. Everyone notes that Ohio State has had trouble in recent bowl games. Every Ohio State fan comes a step closer to an inevitable stroke by clenching their teeth and thinking of blood, anger. JImmy Johnson has turned a shade of lavender. We’re off to a fine start.

…but we know how this will work out already, since Orangebloods.com and 40 Acres Sports are already reporting the national title invitation has been extended to Texas. Hey,

students shown in pregame video! If you’ll start booing loudly during this program on national television, you’ll add a new line to your resume: heroes.

Team Speed Kills also has a thread where you can discuss the match-ups from the BCS to the New Mexico Bowl. Okay, you don’t have to discuss the New Mexico Bowl unless you want to.

Our Iowa Hawkeyes blog, Black Heart Gold Pants, has started a live game thread that will last through the selection show. Jump in there to join in the pre-show discussion.

The BCS Selection Show begins at 8:00 P.M. Eastern on FOX.

Here is what we know so far: Ohio State and Oregon will play in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day, and Georgia Tech will play in the Orange Bowl. Cincinnati and TCU are guaranteed BCS bowl invites, while Boise State remains eligible.
