I think it's simply rematches that are forbidden, not sure. Since we never played this year, that doesn't come into play. Three cheers for imbalanced scheduling! I know you're already a big fan of it. :wink: The writer claims that the BCS games who select before the Fiesta are much more likely to pass over Mizzou in favor of more attractive choices. (Example: Rose takes USC and UI to maintain Pac-10/Big-10 politics. Orange takes, I dunno, Georgia and somebody?) The writer thinks the Fiesta will pass on ASU because having the local team will hurt the economy. The writer doesn't mention the Orange or Rose Bowls anywhere in his article. While your scenario might generate the most revenue in terms of selecting the most popular teams, I am still under the belief that the best teams will be in the BCS bowls. As such, Missouri will get selected over Georgia (if for no other reason than to avoid the firestorm should Missouri not be in).
