No, the higher ranked BCS team will go to the RB-- obviously unless one of them are ranked 1 or 2.

Hmmm, then I might have to root for Sparty to drop only one. Two 1-loss Big Ten teams going to BCS bowls. I just want Ohio State to have the honor of beating down Boise in the RB (assuming Oregon makes the NC game).

I did not know that. I thought most recent Rose Bowl trip was the deciding factor in the absence of a head-to-head result. Thanks for the info.

What I wonder is if, Sparty and Ohio State tie with 1-loss seasons, highly likely they'll both get BCS bids. Will the Big Ten mandate that Sparty goes to the RB based upon most recent appearance and Ohio State be the at-large pick?

I don't know exactly when they did away with that rule about the team who hadn't been to Pasadena in the longest, but I'm glad they did. That was a horrible rule.

The tiebreaker procedure, as listed on the conference website when I checked last week just says that in the case of a tie where the two teams didn't play, the team with the higher BCS ranking gets the automatic berth. I'd imagine it's up to the bowl games themselves when they make their selections to determine who goes where.
