In the name of "fairness", they make rules to try to help "the little guy". (Only 2 BCS bowls per conference)........

End Result: An UNFAIR fraudulent sham that penalizes hard work and success......and gives hand-outs to the undeserving.

Yes but we still need to take care of our bowl instead of the Michisgan State and South Florida BS we have pulled

A look at which coach voted for us and who voted us down. No damn surprise that the Ole Ball Coach stuck us behind UF. Yack

It's about as irrelevant as past postseason games having a bearing on our 2012 postseason outcome.

Fascinating. Props to James Franklin. That's some fricking balls. Sarkisian and Briles can suck it.

Bobs Stoopid can suck it also. He voted Oklahoma sixth ahead of every other 2 loss team.

I get that one... voting in his own self interest. Doesn't make it right but it at least makes sense... it's the coaches that have no skin in the game that pissed me off more. WTF do Sarkisian and Briles give two shits about who goes?

Well props to all who put us 5th and up... frick those pretenders....

This Guy...Michigan State's Mark Dantonio, whose team beat Georgia in last year's Outback Bowl, voted Georgia fourth and Florida fifth
Much of the fun of the final coaches poll is that the ballots are all public, for the first time this season. That's how we know Richt voted his team No. 3, after Notre Dame and Alabama, and ahead of Florida.

Alabama's Saban, who said Saturday it would be a "crying shame" for Georgia not to play in a BCS bowl, backed up his assertion on his ballot: Saban voted Georgia third, one spot ahead of Florida.

But that almost paled in comparison to another SEC coach: Vanderbilt's James Franklin voted Georgia second - after Alabama, and just ahead of Florida. Franklin voted Notre Dame fourth.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney, whose team opens with Georgia next season, was another coach showing Georgia love: Swinney had the Bulldogs third.

Other notables who had Georgia third included Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville, Florida State's Jimbo Fisher and Joker Phillips, who still gets a vote despite no longer being Kentucky's coach. (The same goes for several other fired coaches, such as Gene Chizik and Ellis Johnson. Chizik, by the way, voted Georgia fourth.)

The bowls are paying for it with crappy attendance and TV ratings. The new system should help by getting the best 4 teams in a playoff.

Hardwork and success are not penalized in America.

I'm not saying Northern Illinois deserves to go to a big bowl, but they worked just as hard, if not harder, than anybody else.

Your analogy falls apart right there.
