I'm just angry Jason Campbell didn't even get invited to go to NYC (he should have gone instead of Reggie Bush). Personally, I think ESPN is trying to forget about Auburn to legitimize their championship game. It's completely absurd for them to argue that Auburn should be in the BCS championship game before their 10-point win over the 15th ranked team, but after the game, they say that Auburn really isn't good enough. Aside from Carlos Rogers winning the Jim Thorpe Award, no one's mentioned them lately. It's really too bad--it's the best group of young people that a championship-level football team has had in a while, and they should be celebrated for it.


I agree that Jason Campbell should have gotten an invite to NY for the ceremony, but wow, this was definitely a tough year (as the poster earlier mentioned) with the incredible number of players that had a compelling case to be in NY this weekend. Aaron Rodgers, J.J. Arrington and Cedric Benson are just a few more that come to mind.


And as much as I like Auburn (I've been a fan ever since they played a home and home with USC back in 2002 and 2003), and as much as I'd love to see them get a shot at the NC, this USC/OU match up is just an absolute dream. Too bad they can't install a plus one system so Auburn could play the Orange Bowl's winner, should they beat VaTech.
