I do agree with the Orange Bowl decision of Iowa over Penn State, but I wish Penn State and all Big Ten schools the best of luck in the upcoming bowls. There is no classier person in college sports than Joe Pa. I was really shocked by the Fiesta Bowl decision.

Its true that nobody wants this matchup, including the teams themselves. So why do they do it? Because if TCU beat a BCS conference team it puts more pressure for the BCS to A) Include more teams and B) move to a playoff system. By making all the non AQ teams play each other, they are protecting their monopoly on college football.<br><br>I know it sounds like a conspiracy, but its the best explanation I can come up with.
