Eh winning or not, I just want WVU to win its next two games. Darn Rugters has to spoil it all and that means only one thing: Big East Championship and that's about it this year.

Sucks but there's always next year. (And anyway the D has been slouching in the past 5-7 games.)

Weird. 2/3 polls have USC at #2 and the BCS total has them at #3. Still, looks like they can leapfrog if they win out.

Well, the poll components are based on percentage of votes, not absolute ranking, so if USC and Michigan were close with the voters, the computers could (and did) flip things in favor of Michigan. The consensus is that a USC win over ND probably puts USC ahead of Michigan in most of the computers. Florida winning out puts them ahead of Michigan (but not USC, assuming USC also wins out) in some of the computers.

I suppose there are some scenarios where it's possible for WVU to win the Big East, but since they mostly involve UConn or SU (sigh) upsetting Louisville or Rutgers, but if there are no upsets (i.e. WVU beats Rutgers & USF, Louisville beats Pitt & UConn, Rutgers beats SU), then Louisville wins the Big East.

Louisville beat them and wins the tie breaker if they have the same record.
Wouldn't they share the Big East title?

I know that's how the WAC does it. Last year, Boise and Nevada shared the WAC title (both were 7-1 in the WAC) despite Boise having beat them head-to-head. Pretty stupid, if you ask me, but that's how they do it. If Boise loses to Nevada Saturday, they have to share the WAC again, this time with Hawaii, who they beat head-to-head.

I assumed all conferences did it that way.

Maybe, I'm not a Big East guy.

Well, they'd share the title, but Louisville would get the automatic bid to a BCS bowl on the head-to-head tiebreaker (in a 3-way tie, the team with the highest BCS ranking would get the autobid).
