Cornhusker-N-Texas Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 The SEC can't have more than 2 teams since Georgia lost.(If Georgia had won by 7 and LSU made the MNC, there could be 3 SEC schools) The loss by Houston opens the door wide for Michigan and Kansas State in the Sugar bowl since the loser of MSU and Wisky will be out of the top 14 and both the B1G and Big 12 will then have the max 2 schools in the BCS. Big win for the BCS AQ conferences since Houston lost. Big 12 the biggest beneficiary assuming KSU. No way TCU or Southern Miss has a chance of climbing high enough...... Quote Link to comment
yogurt the wise Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Didn't Sean Callahan tweet that we were going to the Insight bowl? May have even said tickets were already on sale. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Wisconsin and their fans expected to win this. If they lose, how excited will they be about going to a non-BCS bowl? It makes me think the Cap One would pass on the Badgers even though they destroyed us. Quote Link to comment
VA Husker Fan Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Bowl selection show is on ESPN tomorrow night, 7:15 central for BCS bowls, 8:00 for the rest. That's the start of the shows, I don't know how long they'll drag it out or whether info will leak. Quote Link to comment
Cornhusker-N-Texas Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 BCS BOWLS  Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO January 2, 2012 Pasadena, CA, 5:00 pm ESPN Payout: $36 million Big Ten No. 1 vs. Pac-12 No. 1 Projection: Wisconsin vs. Oregon Buy Rose Bowl Tickets  Rationale: Cut and dry. The Wisconsin-Michigan State winner will play Oregon.  Tostitos Fiesta Bowl January 2, 2012 Glendale, AZ, 8:30 pm ESPN Big 12 No. 1 vs. BCS Projection: Oklahoma State vs. Stanford Buy Fiesta Bowl Tickets  Rationale: The Oklahoma State - Oklahoma winner is the automatic bid, but there's a tiny chance the Cowboys could play for the BCS championship with a blowout over the Sooners. Stanford is a mortal lock with a likely top four final BCS ranking and the draw of Andrew Luck.  Allstate Sugar Bowl January 3, 2012 New Orleans, LA, 8:30 pm ESPN SEC No. 1 vs. BCS at-large Projection: Kansas State vs. Michigan Buy Sugar Bowl Tickets  Rationale: If Michigan can slip into the top 14 - not a given - it'll be the most attractive at-large team on the lot and would be the Sugar's first pick. If Houston beats Southern Miss in the Conference USA championship, it'll be in New Orleans. If it loses, then Kansas State or Oklahoma State - if the Cowboys lose to Oklahoma - will be here.  Discover Orange Bowl January 4, 2012 Miami Gardens, FL, 8:00 pm ESPN ACC No. 1 vs. BCS at-large Projection: Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia Buy Orange Tickets  Rationale: There's a mess at the top for the Big East championship, but West Virginia has the best shot - needing to beat South Florida and needing Cincinnati to beat UConn. The ACC championship winner goes here; Virginia Tech is playing far better than Clemson right now.  BCS Championship January 9, 2012 New Orleans, LA, 9:00 pm ESPN BCS No. 1 vs. BCS No. 2 Projection: LSU vs. Alabama Buy BCS Championship Tickets  Rationale: LSU took care of business with a dominant performance against Arkansas, and Alabama thumped Auburn to flex its muscle a little bit. LSU has beaten three teams this year ranked in the top three - Oregon, Alabama, and Arkansas - and has so much respect that it won't matter what happens against Georgia in the SEC championship. Oklahoma State could make this interesting if it blows away Oklahoma, but Alabama can feel safe at the BCS No. 2 slot. Quote Link to comment

Cornhusker-N-Texas Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't think TCU moves up more than 1 spot. Georgia won't drop. OK won't drop far enough, neither will Va Tech. Baylor won and both MSU and Wisc are playing close. I just don't see it.... Clemson will jump over TCU so they need 3 teams to drop lower. Ain't gonna happen unless Va Tech comes back and MSU blows Wisky out of the water and Houston drops a TON. Quote Link to comment

VA Husker Fan Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Yeah, I hadn't thought about Clemson climbing above TCU. That would really make it tough for TCU to make #16. Quote Link to comment
AFhusker Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 They just said during the oSu ass whipping of the Sooners that the rest of the bowls will be announced on the bowl selection show that starts at 9 ET after the BCS show that starts at 8:15. Quote Link to comment

This game is only going to get uglier!! I hope they score even more points that way they can make a solid case to play LSU in the MNC. Alabama had their chance and blew it. Give someone else a chance! (Clemson leads VT 31-10) Quote Link to comment

Moiraine Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I don't think Alabama will be going to the national championship game. Some people will change their votes. In addition to that, Virginia Tech is ranked #3 in the USA Today Poll. They are losing by 21 points right now. So Oklahoma State will move up at least 1 rank there. That could help push them over. I also think they may move ahead of Stanford in that poll after this. Quote Link to comment

I really don't want to see boring bowl II for the MNC game.   I personally liked watching the Bama vs. LSU game. Went into OT. Often, rematches are totally different than the first game. I still expect it to be close.. I say if Bama wins by 14 or less, they share it (LSU gets AP)  Just my thoughts. Bama deserves to be there.... Quote Link to comment
