BCS Chances (El Gigante Merge)

[JXC]

TD FSU!!!!!!!!! There it is baby! Hold on to the lead...this is our shot at Notre Dame right here. THE IS NO WAY THE ORANGE BOWL WOULD PASS ON PENN STATE vs. FLORIDA STATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they win don't we have to get in since LSU lost as well? That should vault us to number 4 behind Penn State guaranteeing the at large bid.

Exactly. If FSU wins (10-3 right now), Oregon can bitch and whine 'til they're blue in the face. OSU would be guaranteed an at-large with the #4 ranking.

If FSU wins, (17-3 right now), Oregon won't have to bitch and moan. They should get the at-large bid over VaTech and LSU. If they don't, then they would have every reason to bitch and moan.

Notre Dame has the first At Large Bid. We are shooting for the second one.

On an interesting side note... I saw the BCS Bowl Series commercial and they repeatedly showed Texas, USC, and Notre Dame. So there is no doubt (as if there ever was) that Notre Dame got an At Large bid.

If FSU wins, both of the at-large bids will be automatic:

- The Bucks get in automatically for being top 4 in the BCS.
- Notre Dame will get in automatically under the "Utah rule" for being a non-BCS conference team in the top 6 in the BCS.

Enjoy the Holiday Bowl, Oregon.

Correct. Tonight, rooting for Flast is rooting for OSU.

Ahhh...got it. Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking purely rankings, I failed to take automatic bids into consideration.

Time to paint the endzones...

I'm gonna go "simulate" the Fiesta Bowl by rushing for 400 yards on Notre Lame.

So the BCS bowls look like this?

Rose: Texas-USC
Sugar: Georgia-West Virginia
Orange: Florida State-#2 BCS selection
Fiesta: #1 BCS selection-#3 BCS selection

Teams eligible to be selected: Notre Dame, Penn State, Ohio State

Is this correct?

Looks right to me.... Damn, they should make FSU and WVU play. UGA v. PSU might be interesting.

 

[heisman]

Fiesta = #1 and #3 selection

 

[Buckeye_Nate]

Fiesta = #1 and #3 selection

I edited my post, my fault, was excited and typing too quick!!!

 

[jwinslow]

had VaTech won today, I could possibly have seen the Orange making a deal and taking OSU-VT. I do not think OSU-FSU is nearly as good as PSU-FSU due to the coaches, and hopefully they will agree.

Bring on the domers!
