Cincy is ranked #3 instead of TCU. BS...although Cincy was number 2 in the Computer ratings...good thing people didn't suddenly become Cincy fans, cause they could have jumped Texas if close enough |

So how did it go down?
BCS: Bama v.s. Texas
Rose: Oregon v.s. Ohio State
Orange: GT v.s. ??
Sugar: ?? v.s. ??
Fiesta: ?? v.s. ??
Sugar gets first pick, they take Florida.
Fiesta gets 2nd, they take TCU.
Now the order goes: orange, fiesta, sugar.
Orange picked Iowa
Fiesta takes Boise State
Sugar took Cincy
Cincy sure did fall. I think it would have made more sense for it to have been cincy, iowa, boise state. Yes you have a florida v.s. Boise State matchup, but those atlarge bids from small schools always get the sugar bowl.

Cincy beat the #15 team while TCU was off. So it looks like we would have been playing Cincy if Texas would of lost  |

Florida/Cinci is the second best game, easily, but it's hard to say if it will be rated higher than Oregon/OSU, probably just because of Florida, but it might be close. TCU/Boise St. might surprise with ratings because people may be intrigued, but GT/Iowa will be watched by like 2 people, what an awful game.

Kind of interested to see what the GA Tech offense is all about, so I will be one of those few that watch that game.

Oregon is the top team when it comes to TV ratings....and increasing them over average. I am still not sold that Florida is anything real, Cincy has proved much more than them, However, on aesthetics, Florida Cincy is the best game, but the Rose Bowl factor will probably make the Ohio State Oregon game a big time viewer draw. |

I'm gonna be in Arizona...leave the day of the Fiesta Bowl sadly, so I can't go....for the most part I am not going to be very far away |

LSU vs. Penn State That sounds like a BCS matchup moreso than the Iowa Georgia Tech Game |

I'm pretty sure it makes a huge difference when one of the teams in discussion is a team that won two national championships in the omitted timespan...

Florida's popularity has risen immensely, not to mention the nuthugging of Tim Tebow garnering more support. Now, the Rose Bowl will probably be higher just because it's the Rose Bowl and it's always the highest, but it'll be closer than you think. A lot of people will be watching that Florida/Cinci game. Unbeaten and "snubbed" Cinci vs. one of the best teams of the decade in Tebow's final game? You'll see big ratings for that.

Florida had two national title game appearances in the 15 year span too....winning one, and would have undergone a popularity spike right after those games too, so meh. yeah Florida has increased in popularity, but if anyone is counting on a game with Cincinatti to have huge ratings...well...not gonna happen. This has nothing to do with the quality of the matchup, hell the Georgia Tech-Iowa game could be amazing, but matchup wise it is shit
