Well, my Orange had their annual WTF game this week, losing to Temple. The only upside to this is that Coach P is almost certainly gone after losing two years in a row to Temple.

They can hand it to BC next week and keepo them from winning the Big East....

Looks like the Badgers are going to be defeated by the Spartans....so, no dream of even facing the Trojans

Utah gets in and will get screwed out of BCS bowl......

Just think, there are 4 BCS bowls, that means 8 teams get to play in them. There are 6 automatic bids, winner of Big 10, Big 12, Pac 10, SEC, ACC, and Big East. That leaves 2 at large bids. Now, if a school ranks in the top 6 of the BCS they automatically get a bid. It's looking like Texas, Cal, and Utah will all rank in the top 6, but there's only room for 2 in the BCS bowls. Thoughts?

Apparently, if they stay as-is, Texas is the one out in the cold. Cal and Texas both claim a Top 6 finish. However, Cal will finish as a non-champ of the conference, but ranked 3 or 4, so they're in automatically. Texas would get in, too, since they're in the Top 6, but the non-BCS conference champion trumps the BCS conference non-champion. So Utah goes in and Texas doesn't.

That's my understanding. Part of me (ok, most of me) says that's great. Sucks for Texas, but since the BCS is so anti-non-BCS conferences, they pretty much have to let Utah in. Of course, they'll probably cast them off to play BC, who will likely win the Big East.

 

[Crothian]

Well, if that's the case at least Utah would get in. I didn't know they had provisions for this set up, I've never heard anyone talk about the possibility.

Edit: Boise State moves up to number 9, justa few key upsets and you might get in!!!

 

[Dimwhit]

Nah, I seriously doubt Boise will get in. They're not really even talking about that here, since it's so out there. We're just hoping for an undefeated season and a better bowl game (Liberty Bowl with Louisville is looking likely).

 

[Crothian]

THat is actualyl a mtach up made in heaven. Both teams are playing great and both have really made a splash on the national scene. I'll be watching that one on the TV.

 

[Dimwhit]

Yeah, I'm torn. Part of me would like Boise to play a good BCS team in a bowl, but Louisville and Boise are currently 9 and 10 in the BCS, they're both excellent and exciting to watch, and it would be a great game. It's contingent (most likely) on Utah making a BCS bowl, since the Liberty Bowl takes the Mountain West champion. But it looks like that will happen, so Boise-Louisville could be a reality.

It would indeed be a great matchup.

Ya, but that Purdue game was not good and Michigan is looking great.
