it is bullcrap to an extent but then again college football wants to keep "traditions" alive and both conferences have obviously agreed and signed to this deal.
in all honesty, i have no love for college football in terms of bowls and the system, etc..
this isn't the college football i grew up watching, its just a cash cow being milked the wrong way.

No one is "Making" them visit a Pac 10 stadium every year.
And if Penn State had beaten Iowa, this wouldn't even have been an issue!!!!!
God, you people make it seem like the Big 10 teams have to travel 3 days after their last regular season game or something.
Get over yourselves. They have 3 weeks.
You didn't see me bitching or complaining when USC had to travel to Florida to stomp on Iowa 6 years ago, and I don't remember Oklahoma complaining 5 years ago when they went to the Rose Bowl, and you can pretty much bet the mortgage on your house that Texas didn't complain the 2 years that they were there consecutively.
So let me ask you guys this question.
From the years of 1993-2001, when the big ten won SEVEN OUT OF NINE ROSE BOWLS, was anyone complaining about, "oh, how unfortunate for the Big Ten that they have to get to sunny California in a matter of 3 weeks to play in THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS BOWL GAME IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!!"
Give me a fucking break already, guys. Seriously
How come nobody complains about the Sugar Bowl, which is where the SEC champ is supposed to go if they are not in the running for the BCS Championship?
Any of you guys raise a fuss over LSU, when they play in the Sugar Bowl, practically playing a home game as well??
Or is it the fact that it is USC that has all of your panites in a twist.
Remind me to check this thread if GOd Forbid, oregon, or Oregon State make the Rose Bowl next year, and let's see if all of you are crying foul then

no one is defending the big10 or complaining. calm down man, USC won the game fair and square which we all knew they would regardless of where they played the game
i was merely pointing out that the big10 is overrated but will never be disrespected due to tradition and what not. i can't stand the big10 conference. i know that since i have stated that point i will be hammered by those unmentioned on this forum about how bad the ACC is -- which we all know. funny how the pendulum swings

Ok, you are missing my point, my friend.
Its not a question of USC. It's just some of these laughable "It sucks that they make a Big 10 team play a Pac 10 team in a Pac 10 stadium" comments.
Again, see "Cotton Bowl" Big 12 winner, "Sugar Bowl", SEC winner. Don't think that there's some sort of extra advantage there?? I never heard anyone cry about Miami getting an unfair advantage by playing in the Orange Bowl
That's just the way it is. Who the fuck wants to play a January bowl game in -10 degree weather with 15 inches of snow?? You think that Joe Paterno, god bless him, would say, "oh no, I wouldn't want to play in Sunny California. I'd much rather play in a blizzard in Ann Arbor."
Hell no.
YES! Absolutely. I can't stand that nonsense either. Same with Hawaii.
Well, I mean, USC walks around with a prick attitude which must naturally be due to their location. They seem like they are bigger than life itself, and perhaps people are just tired of hearing about them.
Great program but Southern California is made out to be like heaven on earth.
But anyways, congrats to the better team in USC.
I don't understand why it's laughable. Either way, these teams shouldn't be practically getting home games every year. That's not fair in any case.
But then why not switch up the Bowl games and send the Pac-Ten winner to Florida or Hawaii? Wouldn't that be a simple solution.
It always should be discussed. The winners are the winners, so there is no point to discuss the other games. We just got beaten by the better team, unless one wants to keep going on about how the Big Ten is the worst conference out there. You can keep going on all that.
