November 26, 201114 yr Unless UConn refuses to take the field in the 4th quarter and forfeits, the first two scenarios are out. UConn 40 Rutgers 10 starting the 4th. Actually, the four team tie scenario involves Rutgers as well, so only this one remains: -Louisville, West Virginia, Cincinnati - West Virginia would be current winner. Each team 1-1 against other two, forcing it to BCS ranking, where currently West Virginia is highest. Basically, neither Cincinnati or Louisville want this to be a tie.
November 26, 201114 yr Oh the beauty of the BCS. Team's like Boise, TCU and Houston fight tooth and nail to go undefeated and make a big bowl, while some team from the Big East just meanders through the season and ends up in the Orange Bowl. :lol:
November 26, 201114 yr Cincinnati won today, so it's down to Louisville, West Virginia and Cincinnati. It appears that the scenarios will be: -Louisville - Wins it if Cincinnati loses to Connecticut -West Virginia - Wins it if they win at South Florida AND Cincinnati defeats Connecticut -Cincinnati - Wins it if they defeat Connecticut AND West Virginia loses at South Florida Should make for an interesting time next Saturday.
November 26, 201114 yr ^ No they wouldn't.....I have watched every game. Come on man, now your starting to act like you Louisville fans did back in the Petrino days. Yes Louisville clinched a share of the Big East, however lets not act like they are a very good team. I have seen them play, they are not that good of a team. They play in an even weaker Big East this year. If UK and them played again UL would be favorite but it would be another close game. If UK was in t he Big East I won't say they would have won a share of the Big East but they definitely would have done better than they did and would have had a shot to at least. While if UL was in the SEC they would be one of the worst teams just like UK and look just as bad. From what I have seen before UC's qb got hurt, they definitely were the best team in the conference. Yet what happened when they played a SEC team in Tennessee? They didn't do so great or look as good. Even though Tennessee is one of the worst teams if not the worst team in the SEC. I mean even UK beat them today. So please don't act like Louisville is that much better. They really are not, and if they played again Louisville would be favorite, however UK could win just as easily.
November 27, 201114 yr The Cards may not be world-beaters, but they are now receiving votes in the AP poll. Did you think you'd read that sentence this year?

November 28, 201114 yr So please don't act like Louisville is that much better. They really are not, and if they played again Louisville would be favorite, however UK could win just as easily.U of L is currently, leaps and bounds better. UK has been poorly coached this season, their QB play is worse. They have a tremendous lack of play makers. I'd be shocked if U of L didn't win a rematch, something like 31 - 7 ish.

November 28, 201114 yr If what I read is accurate. Louisville is in if UC loses - Head to head over WVU. UC is in if they win and WVU loses - Head to head over UofL. WVU is in if they win and UC wins - By virtue of BCS position.

November 28, 201114 yr The BCS show gave the Big East nothing but a beat down. They said you need to be ranked in the top 14 BCS to go to a BCS Orange Bowl. "Its a very good baskeball conference" They implied that WVA "blew it" and was the only team deseving to go to the Orange. "Louisville has 5 losses!" Kirk said. But it is what it is. But look for changes next year.

November 28, 201114 yr I really hope that the Big East is capable of keeping its automatic qualifying status as a BCS conference in football, but if things continue on as they have, it would not surprise me to see it gone.
