The Dallas Morning News says that the Fiesta Bowl badly wants Kansas. They want Kansas badly enough to be considering an Oklahoma vs. Kansas game should the Sooners beat Missouri. It's rather shocking to think that Kansas would be more appealing to them than the Arizona State Sun Devils. Normally, ticket sales outweigh any concerns related to hotels or TV match-ups. Plus, I'm not even sure that there's a scenario where KU vs. OU is possible. But anyway...Apparently, all the BCS bowls are convinced that the entire State of Kansas will empty to attend whatever bowl they are assigned.
Update: The Orange Bowl told Josh Kendall that they have no worries whatsoever about a rematch involving UGA and VT. and that both schools and our respective conferences aren't worried either.
The Huntsville Times has a nice column complimenting UGA on its season and pending BCS adventure. The article also has this nugget of randomness from Damon Evans:
One day in practice leading up to the Auburn game, the players noticed somebody hiding in a tree, filming the workout. Suddenly, a police car pulled up. A cop rushed the tree, hauled the cameraman down, clamped him in handcuffs and drove him away.Uhhhh....ok.
The players lustily cheered the arrest of the spy. "To this day,'' Evans said, "the players still don't know that Coach Richt hired the guy and set that up.
My BCS Bowl Predictions (as of today):
- National Title: Missouri vs. West Virginia
Rose: USC vs. Ohio State
Orange: VT vs. UGA (Unavoidable in this scenario. KU would already be picked)
Fiesta: Kansas vs. Arizona State
Sugar: LSU vs. Hawaii
The San Jose Mercury News has the same predictions.
