Isn't the rule that the top 6 in the BCS get automatic bids? But at the same time, the SEC, Big-10, Big-12, Big East, ACC, and Pac-10 are also guaranteed BCS bowl bids. In this scenario, you have the 2 at-large bids. We now have 3 teams in the top 6 vying for those 3 at-large bids (Cal, Utah and Texas). So at this point, it's whoever gets picked? Obviously not all 3 can get in. The bowl projections show OU vs. Utah in the Sugar (should Auburn overtake OU for #2 in the BCS and play in the Orange). I don't know about you, but there is no way in hell that the Sugar passes up taking Texas to play OU in a rematch. New Orleans would be filled to the brim with people from Ok and Tx.
Orange - USC v. AU Rose - Cal. v. Mich. Sugar - OU v. Miami or FSU or VTech whichever wins ACC Fiesta - BC v. Utah Is probably how it will work out
Yep. Winning your conference is the most important unless you're OU... because you the the automatic the at-large-only helps teams like Texas b/c they are good but cant beat OU... or a Mich. that faulters to a team early but improves alot later on in the season.
If some faulter and Tex moves to 4 in the BCS top 6 helps them, cuz Mack has still never made it to a BCS bowl even though he has had worthly teams
Texas isn't that good of a team. They lose to the better teams and prefer to play the Vandys, Rice and Bailors of college football. They should join the Ivy League.
I used to like the Horn, until the "Major Applewhite Fiasco"... they always field a decent team, thats what I was giving deference to.. not the fact that they always deserve a BCS bowl. But teams like Mich, Texas, Cal etc.. that get beat by the best team in their conference yet usually beat everyone else... that is what I am talking about if you dont like Texas insert... any other 2nd place team in a division with the clear best team in the conference...
BC vs Utah = ratings disaster If Utah makes it the only thing that would intrigue me is playing a big time powerhouse such as OU to see how they really stack up. Seeing them against the 'big' East winner would blow.
Seeing the Big East champ in a BCS bowl will Bleaux period.... but they will get the nod so what can you do
