We need to drop the 9th conference game. The message has been sent.
The BIG figured out it wasn't a good idea with the current format.
Haha Chris Peterson just called out ESPN for drawing out this whole rankings show.
What? Big 10 plays 9.
Tell that to their handbook:
p. 76: http://compliance.pac-12.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/2016-17-P12-Handbook.v3.pdf
Also their chairman said they would take the highest ranked team.
There are two P5 conferences that play nine conference games. Each has had a two lost champion in the past two years just miss the CFP (Stanford last year and now PSU).
Drop the 9th game in lieu of another P5 game.
It's a shame that there wasn't an upset..... either CU or Va Tech.... we would have been able to settle all of these arguments!!
Anyway..... I hear that it is Alamo bound for us!

Yup that and he had class when they head guy is a total ass. I loved how he told them they make the schedules in advance so you just don't know. ESPN tends to forget logic.
My bad meant ACC and SEC. BIG and PAC only ones to actually go to it.

I have no idea how any of you guys get excited for the Alamo bowl. CU is more deserving of the rose bowl than USC is.
Ah. Although both those teams were screwed by a bad OOC loss, bot getting beat up in conference, so I don't see how the extra game was the issue.
I'd prefer going to 8 anyway, for variety and a chance to get a game with a Texas team most years (for recruiting).
Are you referring to the Bowl Selection show that's on ESPNU at 2pm MT? That's for all the bowls, and when we find out where we're going. What ESPN's main channel is doing does stagger the mind though ... a 4 hour show discussing the final four teams and selection process? Good luck with that ... I'm switching to the Broncs game now.
USC is a much better team than CU. they proved it.
I won't complain if somehow CU gets the Rose Bowl bid, but USC deserves it.

How are they a "much better" team when they only beat us by 4 with us having our starting QB and unquestioned leader injured?
The only "much better" team we played all season is Washington.

In fairness, think back two months. With a little perspective it's hard to not get excited for any bowl. Yes, we wanted more, but the very fact that we were in the discussion for more is amazing, all things considered, and I'm just excited to go see the Buffs play one more time while knowing that the best is yet to come. What a ride the Rise has been, and how exciting to look towards the future with optimism now. Besides, spending a few days in San Antonio isn't the worst way to end a great year.
Because CU deserves to be in the Rose Bowl. On it's own, there is nothing wrong with the Alamo, but if CU gets knocked behind of USC because they played an extra CHAMPIONSHIP game, then that is bull****, plain and simple. Buffs ended regular season ahead of USC and USC sitting at home doing nothing should never move them ahead of a team that went and played an extra game against the 4th ranked team in the country.
USC is better, but not more deserving. Even being better is arguable based on head to head. They won by 4 at their house against our backup QB.

When do we find out? I thought the other Big bowls would be shortly after?
And look what they did to Washington.
The only reason our game with USC was that close is their four turnovers. They could have scored again at the end of the game and elected to run out the clock. They put up over 500 yards of offense on us. That 21-17 score could have easily been 45-17. USC is a much better team than CU. it's ok to admit that.
I don't follow the logic that can say that the better team is not more deserving.
