And Louisville got beat down badly by USF last year; I think it's becoming clear the Bulls are good for one crazy upset every year in the Big East.FWIW, WVU isn't going to get a BCS bid, but a second Big East team probably should. There are normally four at-large bids. One's going to Boise, because they qualified by being in the top 12 and winning the WAC. One's almost certainly going to Michigan for finishing #3. That leaves two spots for Notre Dame or a second team from the ACC, Big East, Big 12, Pac 10, or SEC. No Big 12 or Pac 10 teams will be eligible; Oklahoma will fall more than two spots if they lose to Nebraska, and Cal cannot pick up 4 spots between beating Stanford and fortuitous upsets. So that leaves a second ACC team (Virginia Tech is the only one that qualifies), a second Big East team (Louisville if RU wins, WVU if they win -- they'll move up at least one spot with a victory), a second SEC team (LSU, the FLA/ARK loser, or Auburn), and Notre Dame. There's probably a fair amount of debate over who should be the second SEC team in the BCS, but even people like me who think the SEC is vastly overrated will concede they deserve a second team. So the final spot is up to Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, and the Big East #2. And given that, I can't see any reason with any correlation to play on the field to take ND or VT over either 11-1 Louisville or 10-2 WVU.</blockquote>
