November 28, 200718 yr Author It's a split Big 12/Big East bowl. They only get the Big East twice in 4 years and Notre Dame is included as a Big East selection. There is no chance they cross of Notre Dame or maybe USF for the next two years. They took WVU last year so they will go Big 12 this year... :thumb: Thanks
November 28, 200718 yr UC accepted the bid to the Papa John's Bowl... To play Southern Miss? Yucky... Their season deserved a LOT better than that. A LOT better.
November 28, 200718 yr To play Southern Miss? Yucky... Their season deserved a LOT better than that. A LOT better. Crappy Bowl Tie-ins and a fan base that refuses to travel. Such is life in the "big time"...
November 28, 200718 yr It doesn't look that way. The SEC is 1 short. 9-slots 8 teams with 7 wins The Big 12 is 2 short. 8-slots 6 teams with 7 wins. If 2 teams make the BCS they are 3 short. The Pac 10 is 2 short right now. The need both UCLA and Cal to win to fill their 6 slots. And this conference still has a chance of getting 2 teams in BCS games? That just amazes me. The Big Ten is 1 over right now. 7-slots 8 teams with 7 wins. If OSU plays for championship and Illinois goes to the Rose they are even. The ACC is 1 over. 6-slots 7 teams with 7 wins. The Big East is 1 short. 6-slots 5 teams with 7 wins. Most overrates two conferences in America!!! There are only 5 teams in MVHO that deserves to go in the Pac: Cal, USC, Oregon, Wash. and Arizona State. The ACC is a joke, LSU proved that with a 41-7 win over VA. Tech! Does anyone else think that I am way out of line?:fight:
November 28, 200718 yr Crappy Bowl Tie-ins and a fan base that refuses to travel. Such is life in the "big time"... I'm happily surprised you brought up the 2nd point before I had a chance to. Very honest of you considering your "tie-in" to the program. :thumb: :thumb:

Very honest of you considering your "tie-in" to the program. :thumb: :thumb: I've been fighting with a large number of them for days now. I doubt there are any more than 2,000 that make the trip. The good news is it will lead to UC getting screwed again next year... :irked:

Even losing to USC and falling to 6-6, they deserve a bid. Wins over CAL, BYU, and Oregon get their ticket punched.
November 28, 200718 yr The only reason would be to fill another BCS slot from a conference that fell short of bids... Oh, OK gotcha

The Big East is 1 short. 6-slots 5 teams with 7 wins. Remember you don't have to have 7 wins if you conference already has bowl tie-ins. For example, the last SEC tie-in is the Independence Bowl. It will choose between Alabama and South Carolina, both of which have six wins. My projections say the Armed Forces Bowl and Texas Bowl are the only two that will have an at-large opening. Look for Purdue or Indiana (whichever doesn't get picked by a Big Ten bowl) to land in the Armed Forces and then TCU will get picked up by the Texas Bowl. If Troy doesn't win their conference, they have ZERO chance of making a bowl.
