BCS Question

Featured Replies

So they take the winners of the 6 BCS conferences... leaving 2 at-large spots.. and if you are in the Top 6 of the BCS rankings, you get an automatic at-large bid.

 

The new rankings out now have Utah, Cal and Texas in the Top 6.. all non-conference winners.

 

Wouldn't that total 9 teams for 8 spots? Or am I missing something?

No you have it wrong. If you are in the top 6 you only get an automatic bid if you are in a Non-BCS confrence. You need to be in the top 4 to get a gaurenteed at large big if you are in a BCS confrence.

Oooooooh ok. I knew I was overlooking something. Thanks

Boise State at numero 9.... it would be nice if they could sneak in the top 6 as well

They won't make it to six, but they will at least be BCS eligible, but they won't go to one.

Utah will probably finish #6 and get 1 at large bid....

 

Leaving Cal and Texas to fight for the other bid, which Cal would almost guaranteed get (as they should, they are a better team than Texas).

 

As a result, for the second year in a row, Texas is the 9th team in a 8 team picture and goes to the Holiday Bowl out in San Diego.

 

And what makes it really interesting is Boston College will probably get the auto bid out of the big east, despite the fact they are ranked around 20 or so, well behind Texas (plus, there is no way BC is as good as Texas).

I am hoping Iowa state wins the big 12 championship game and gets the automatic bid, that would be the sickest thing ever.

I agree, NIU played their 2nd worst game of the year at Iowa State and still only lost by 7, so for them to make a BCS bowl would be something else....

The Big 12 north is the biggest joke of a half of division ever.

Agreed.....

 

We played them with our backup QB, 2 back ups on defense, on the road, threw THREE (yes 3) INT's that got taken back for TD's and still led by 14 to start the 4th quarter before choking it away by giving up 3 touchdowns.

 

And NIU is probably the 3rd best team in their own MAC division....

Yeah, nothing like seeing them get destroyed by any other team in the top 30.

 

:plain

 

They barely scraped by San Jose State.

They're not a good road team. When there isn't blue turf they get all confused.
