BCS Mess

[SuperTiger]

Ok, my blog is not working, so I'll post some more football stuff here.
The teams listed above are the 9 remaining teams that have some kinda shot of getting into the national title game(10 Ohio State cannot go b/c of loss to Penn/ State, and btw LSU dropped out of the polls for the 1st time since 2002)
Here are the secnarios for the national title picture
1. Alabama-beat Auburn and win SEC title(plays 4 Florida)
2. Texas-Retain current position and hope Oklahoma doesn't leap frog them, beat Texas A&M(lost 2 straight meetings) and win Big 12 title game(vs. 13 Missouri)
3. Oklahoma-leapfrog Texas and beat 12 Oklahoma State and win Big 12 Title Game(vs. 13 Missouri)
4. Florida-Jump either Oklahoma or Texas and beat 20 Florida State and win SEC Title game(vs. 1 Alabama)
5. USC-win final 2 games(Idaho(I think) and UCLA) and hope Texas/Oklahoma loss Big 12 Title Game, Florida lose vs. Florida State and lose SEC Title Game, and have Texas/Oklahoma loss this weekend.
6 Utah-(completed regular season schedule)have USC lose one of it's final games, have Alabama or Florida loss this weekend, and then have the loser lose SEC TItle game, have Oklahoma/Texas lose Big 12 Title, and have Oklahoma/Texas loss this weekend.
7 Texas Tech-get style points vs. Baylor and jump Utah, then have all the scenarios play out as listed for Utah
8 Penn. State-(regular season completed)Texas Tech loss vs. Baylor, get voters to jump them over Utah, and then have all of Utah's scenarios play out.
9. Boise State-beat Fresno State, and Texas Tech loses to Baylor, have voters jump them over Penn. State AND Utah, then have all of Utah's scnarios play out.
Conference's that can be decided/all ready can be
Big 10-Penn. State clinches Rose Bowl berth
ACC Atlantic
Florida State represents with BC loss vs. Maryland
Boston College represents woth win over Maryland
ACC Coastal
Georgia Tech represents with VT loss vs. Virginia
Virginia Tech represents with win over Virginia
Atlantic vs. Coastal=Winner(plays in Orange Bowl)
SEC West
Alabama-clinched division
SEC East
Florida-clinched division
East vs. West=winner(possible betrh in National Title Game, Sugar Bowl)
Big East
Cincinnati represents with win over Syracuse
Pittsburgh represents with win over WVU and Cincinnati loss
West Virginia represents with a win over Pitt. and Cincinati loss
Winner goes to Orange Bowl
Big 12-winner goes to possible National Title and runner-up(in this case Texas/Oklahoma/Texas Tech) goes to Fiesta Bowl
Big 12 North-Missouri clinched division
Big 12 South-team with highest BCS position represents
Texas-beat A&M and retain position
Oklahoma-beat Ok. State and jump Texas
Texas Tech-have OU and UT lose
Other scenarios
TT loss with OU and UT win=UT in Title game
OU loss with TT and UT win=TT in Title Game
UT loss with OU and TT win=OU in title game
All 3 lose-highest position=winner
2 teams lose and 1 wins=winner to title game
North vs. South=winner
Pac 10-winner to Rose Bowl
Oregon State represents with win over Oregon
USC represents with win over UCLA and Oregon State loss
Oregon represents with win over Oregon State and USC loss
Utah-Mt. West winner
Boise State-WAC winner(if they beat Fresno State)
Both seeking at large berths
Ball State and Buffalo more than likely will meet in MAC championship game, winner goes to the motor city bowl(unless Ball State gets BCS berth, which is highly unlikely)
Independents=nothing(this year, Navy in Eaglebank/Congressional Bowl, ND still seeking to lock up a bowl)
C-USA-more than likely, title game will be East Carolina and Tulsa(winner plays in Liberty Bowl)
Sun Belt(only 1 team goes to bowl(New Orleans Bowl) regardless of records, or more with BCS conferences not able to fill spots( Sun Belt is 11 only to Independents)
Troy represnts with win over Arkansas State
Arkansas State represents with win over North Texas and win over Troy
Louisiana Lafeyette represents with win over Middle Tennessee State and Arkansas State beats Troy(if that happened voters would have to decide who goes)
That's all I have to say for now.

I honestly think it will be Texas and Florida in the title game. Texas has the hardest schedule (even though that doesn't matter in the BCS) and they have played well minus one game. I think they deserve to be in the title game. Meanwhile I think Florida will jump everyone and make it to the title game. They have been scary good this year on offense and defense and I don't see that Alabama team beating them in the SEC Championship. Florida has just destroyed teams this year and I think they are the best team in the nation. However, if Alabama loses, does that mean they are out of the title game? I don't know, and the BCS doesn't make it easier to decide on which of top teams should play and which one is the best.

i think Texas and Alabama

as much as i want PSU and Alabama, its goin 2 be #1 vs #2

[The Chief]

It's gonna be Oklahoma (if they win the title game) vs. the SEC champion.
If Ok loses, chaos. In other words, normal for the BCS.

Welp, here's what it looks like:

Automatic Conference Bids: Virginia Tech, Cincinnati, USC, Oklahoma, Florida, Penn State
Automatic Non-Conference Bids: Boise State, Utah (apparently only one NCB per year)
At-Large Bids: Texas, Alabama, Boise State

And guesses for bowls (winners bolded).

Rose: Penn State vs. USC
Orange: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech
Sugar: Texas vs. Alabama
Fiesta: Boise State vs. Utah
BCS: Florida vs. Oklahoma

LOL@ Oklahoma Vs. MU

That was sad

[SuperTiger]

Well joemello is right, and I'm about to offend Ohio State fans here, but that rule in the BCS Contract does state thst only one team from a non-BCS Conference may go to a BCS Bowl Game, so Boise State has been left out, and on January 5th when Ohio State plays Texas they are going to get raped. Texas should have been in Big 12 Title Game, b/c they have been the only team to stop OU defensively, i really don't care if Oklahoma has been able to put up 60+ on Nebraska, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Mizzou-It's the Big 12 and the team with the best defense in that conference is Texas, that's when Texas will take out there anger. As for some of the other teams like Cincinnati, that is a tremendous story for the Bearcats. 20 years ago, the Cincinnati Football Program almost disbanded and Brian Kelley has turned that team around and have put them up on the map with Ohio State. Virginia Tech definately proved they deserve to be the class of the wacky ACC, even though I think Georgia Tech is the best team in that conference. Quick note to Bada, I bet you just loved seeing my Kansas Jayhawks beat Mizzou-hahahah i love it. USC and Penn. State should be a better game than usual, Alabama will take Utah to the house with there suffacateing D, and I think Cincy will beat Va. Tech as for that national title I'm leaning to Ou at the moment but we still got a month. Othe interesting match-ups
Poinsetta Bowl-9 Boise State vs. 11 TCU
Capital One Bowl-15 Georgia vs. 18 Michigan State
Chick-fil-a Bowl-LSU vs. 14 Georgia Tech
Gator Bowl-Nebraska vs. Clemson
Cotton Bowl-25 Ole Miss vs. 7 Texas Tech
Alamo Bowl-21 Missouri vs. 23 Northwestern
Outback Bowl-South Carolina (yuck) vs. Iowa
Holiday Bowl-13 Oklahoma STate vs. 17 Oregon
Sun Bowl-Oregon State vs. 20 Pittsburgh
Champs Sports Bowl-Wisconsin vs. 22 Florida State
Eagle Bank Bowl-Wake Forest vs. Nav(rematch of Sep. 27 match, Navy upset 16 Wake Forest)
Papa Johns.com Bowl-NC State vs. Rutgers(Rutgers won 5 straight, NC State won 4 straight)
Insight Bowl-Kansas vs. Minnesota
Hawaii Bowl-Hawaii vs. Notre Dame-ND lost 9 straight bowl(NCAA record)

O actually joemello is wrong
National Championship: 2 Florida vs. 1 Oklahoma
Sugar Bowl: 6 Utah vs. 4 Alabama
Fiesta Bowl-10 Ohio State vs. 3 Texas
Rose Bowl-8 Penn. State vs. 5 USC
Orange Bowl-12 Cincinnati vs. 19 Virginia Tech
Left Out: 7 Texas Tech(Only 2 teams from one conference clause), 9 Boise State(Only 1 Non-BCS Conference Team Clause)

I think the national title game will be a great one. It should be real fun to watch those two offenses, however I think I'm leaning towards Florida at this point. They've just looked scary good for awhile now. As far as the Ohio State-Texas game, I'm an tOSU fan and I'm not expecting much from this game, it sucks that Texas got shafted the way they did and I think any straight thinking college football fan would love a playoff. But this is the crappy system we're stuck with.

Go Florida!
