10 Big Ten teams Bowl eligible?

[SNIPER26]

If tOSU and Oregon make the title game, a 9-3 TSUN team could play Arizona State in the Rose. But like bkb said, a 9-3 TSUN team wouldn't get selected to play Oregon.

Makes sense.

Agreed but with two suspensions happening before the Bama game, I don't see them coming out victorious. Perriloux was a huge part of their 3rd and 4th and short game.

I agree... At least LSU is being respectable and sitting them even in a big game unlike another SEC team we know...

I don't know that Les is sitting Perriloux because he is punishing him -- I don't think I've read that, specifically. What I have read implied Perriloux won't play because he got beat down so badly he may actually be injured.

this isn't the first time he's suspended him though:

Miles suspended Perrilloux from the team for three months this year after police cited the 20-year-old for using his older brother's ID card to get into a Baton Rouge casino, where the minimum age of admission is 21. Perrilloux has also been listed as a "person of interest" in a federal counterfeiting probe.

SI.com - NCAA Football - Perrilloux won't practice with LSU this week - Monday October 29, 2007 5:29PM

Keep in mind he's respectable. He learned coaching at scUM under Schembechler.

Since this is the B10 bowl thread I thought I'd list the actual tie ins we have.

1. Dec. 26 Motor City Bowl at Detroit, MAC vs. Big Ten #7, 7:30 p.m. (ESPN)
2. Dec. 28 Champ Sports Bowl at Orlando, Fla., ACC vs. Big Ten #4/5, 5 p.m. (ESPN)
3. Dec. 29 Alamo Bowl at San Antonio, Big Ten #4/5 vs. Big 12, 8 p.m. (ESPN)
4. Dec. 31 Insight Bowl at Tempe, Ariz., Big Ten #6 vs. Big 12, 7:30 p.m. (NFLN)
5. Jan. 1 Outback Bowl at Tampa, Fla., Big Ten #3 vs. SEC, 11 a.m. (ESPN)
6. Jan. 1 Capital One Bowl at Orlando, Fla., Big Ten #2 vs. SEC, 1 p.m. (ABC)
7. Jan. 1 Rose Bowl at Pasadena, Calif., Pac-10 champion-x vs. Big Ten champion-x, 4:30 p.m. (ABC)

at large Bowls:
Dec. 20 Poinsettia Bowl at San Diego, MWC vs. At-large or Navy, 9 p.m. (ESPN)
Jan. 7 BCS National Championship at New Orleans, BCS No. 1 vs. BCS No. 2, 8 p.m. (FOX)



Also, this is the best blurb I have seen on how the non BCS Bowls select the teams(it was brought up before, bold is mine):

In Non-BCS games, the pick is not the order the team finished in the conference, but a selection order by the bowls. (Example: ACC No. 4 doesn't mean the fourth-place team, it means the Champs Sports Bowl gets the fourth selection out of the ACC.)

Thanks for the info :)

I'd love to see 10 teams get in....it would be great for the conference

iirc correctly no conference can send more than 8.

 

[MD Buckeye]

gotcha.....still having 10 "bowl eligible" teams would be nice....even if we can only send 8.

thanks for the info

 

[heisman]

What if some of the other conferences don't have enough eligible teams to fill all their spots?

 

[Jaxbuck]

They declare an SEC team the winner

Slim chance of that. The SEC will probably have 11 bowl eligible teams, the Big East is going to have 6, the Big 12 is probably going to have 10, the ACC should have 8, and the Pac 10 should have 6. That's 50 of the 64 spots right there, just from the six BCS conferences. The only two conferences that are in danger of missing their allotments are the ACC and Pac 10, but either would require having two BCS bowl teams (possible for Pac 10, not likely for the ACC).

This is what happens when they add a 12th game, start counting D1AA wins towards bowl eligibility, and set the eligibility requirement at .500, instead of a winning record (over .500). FWIW, pecking order is dependent upon record. Back room politics don't become important until you need to separate a bunch of teams with identical records. That said, I think Indiana is going to wind up getting screwed here. They will not get picked ahead of MSU or Iowa if they all wind up 6-6. Indiana needs to get to 7-5 to take it out of the bowl reps' hands.

The SEC had 9 bowl teams last year, so there is no limit of 8 per conference.

Also, this is the best blurb I have seen on how the non BCS Bowls select the teams(it was brought up before, bold is mine):

Although the non-BCS bowls can select who they wish, I read today that no 6-win 'at-large' teams may be selected if there are 7-win teams eligible. (Stewart Mandel's mailbag). I believe by 'at-large teams' he means those not assigned to bowls with automatic conference tie-ins.

mandel/10/31/mailbag

And keep in mind, under NCAA rules, no bowl can select a 6-6 at-large team if there are any seven-win teams available -- be they from the MAC, Sun Belt or wherever. That's how 7-5 Sun Belt runner-up Middle Tennessee State ended up in a bowl game last year while 6-6 Arizona, Washington State and Pittsburgh stayed home.

Well then, in pick order, I'd see the bowls lining up something like this:

1. BCS Championship - Ohio State
2. Capital One - Michigan
3. Outback - Penn State
4. Champs Sports - Wisconsin
5. Alamo - Illinois
6. Insight - Purdue
7. Motor City - One of the bottom bowl eligible teams.

No - if the Buckeyes go to championship bowl game then the next in line from Big Ten will very likely go to another BCS game - most likely the Rose Bowl.

Actually that seems pretty unlikely unless you think the rose would take a 3 loss michigan team..
