LOL at the Alamo being a dream destination.

Well since you guys will never sniff the BCS, I guess it's good to dream about something.
I could see that...........................for a Cyclone fan.

Darn that whole "2 BCS bids" thing...
I agree. That is why I think the big 10 would be smart not to add a 12th team and have a championship game that would most likely knock a team out of a BCS game.

That's weird...since Iowa and Ohio State played for the right to go to the Rose Bowl, which is a BCS bowl...and then Iowa got a bid to the Orange Bowl...which is also a BCS bowl...
Try again?

There are a lot of worse places to go for a bowl game than San Antonio. From everything I've ever heard about the Alamo Bowl, it's a top notch event.

I'm with the Clone on this; the last thing I want to see the Big 10 do is start a conference championship game. I know that at some point in the next 5 years that it will happen, but I won't like it anymore then, either.

Jon's always said it's his favorite bowl as far as the entire experience...it's definitely not a crap bowl like 2/3's of them.

It is pretty much reality. The Cotton Bowl may be possible someday, but would love to to go to SA.

I'm saying that even if there was an official championship game for the Big10, it wouldn't put a stop to the conference getting 2 bids.
Edit: I'd rather see the Big10 stay as it is (11 teams), but switch to a Pac-10 type of schedule to determine a TRUE champion, where everyone plays each other.

No it wouldn't, but the current arrangement has worked out pretty well for the conference; you'll have to go back at least 4 years to find the last time the Big 10 didn't get two teams in.
Getting two teams in is good for the conference, no matter how they get there. I wouldn't want a situation where Iowa (or someone else) has to upset OSU in the championship game.
Edit - saw your edit, and I would agree with that but take it a bit further. The only way that teams in the Big 10 could play a true round robin would be if everyone got rid of one non-conference game, replaced it with a conference game, and added one more game to the end of the schedule.

If the Big Ten had a title game that would be 4 out of 6 conferences with title games (and the Big East is rarely, if ever a two bid league). I'm guessing a couple of those conferences would get 2 bids, especially with 10 BCS teams now.
Since the BCS has gone to 5 games conferences with a title game have had two bids more then conferences without one. Every time the non-title two bid conference has been the Big Ten. I'd think they'd be fine.

I would love the Big 10 to go to a Pac-10 type schedule. 2 non-conference games and 10 conference games.

I agree SR...but clone fan was just trying to take a shot at the conference by saying it wouldn't have 2 teams good enough and worthy of 2 bids, if they played a conference title game.
