BCS

[Rep The 402]

Im not a big fan of the BCS rankings or bowls, im one of the people for the playoff system. But besides all that, the BCS polls come out October 18th, if we win this weekend against Texas Tech, where does everyone think we will rank and what bowl do you project we will make it too?

 

[J_2_THA_BONE]

We'll probably around 14th is my guess.

[AF Husker Fan]

i think we move up to 11 after shutting down a top 5 offense!

 

[Rep The 402]

Depending on the outcome of the win if we win, if its a big win like us high score against them only holding them to a touchdown or two I could see us at possibly maybe 13th I also think if we win the big 12 north we could make it to the Sugar Bowl or Cotton.

Isn't the big 12 winner tied into the Fiesta Bowl? Usually the loser can go to the Cotton, we did a few years back when we played and lost to Auburn.

yeah it is....i think IF we win out and lose in the big 12 title game to texas, texas will go to the national championship game and i think we would then get an at large bid to the Fiesta Bowl!

that would put us as 11-2 and a top 10 ranking, there would be absolutely no way we would not go to a BCS bowl because OU will then have at least 3 losses and the big 12 will have an at large bid no matter what.....

so basically i think if we will till the championship game we will make a BCS bowl.

as for what we will be ranked if we win this weekend, i would think around 14 in the AP poll, 12 in the coaches poll, and very likely around 10 in the BCS poll....

 

[Landlord]

The Big XII won't have an at large bid no matter what, but it is likely.

 

[husker B-rent]

The Big XII won't have an at large bid no matter what, but it is likely.

ok my bad....its not 100% but it is almost a given that the big 12 and SEC will both have at large bids pretty much every year! there is a 99% chance that the big 12 has an at large bid....

You realize that highlighted part is not a guarantee, right? The Fiesta can take any BCS eligible team to replace Texas, they do not have to choose a Big 12 team, nor does any other BCS bowl, unless we automatically qualify by being in the top 4.

The SEC will certainly get an at large spot unless a lot of upsets happen.

Boise St will probably stay unbeaten and if they do, will certainly get one.

If Iowa beats Wisconsin this weekend, they could roll into Columbus unbeaten and even with a loss there could take a spot. We probably want Iowa to give Ohio State their second loss, but who's to say the bowls don't pick Ohio State over us?

TCU still plays BYU and Utah, and if they run the table, do they get a spot?

How about Miami? They are through the guts of their schedule and could easily go 11-1, and that'll probably be enough, though I don't know if the Orange Bowl will want a VT rematch game.

I think we'll be one of 4 teams competing for 2 spots in this scenario. The losses would be against impressive teams, but anybody could lose to VT and Texas. What's more important is who we did beat. Also, in this kind of scenario, probably only the SEC CG loser will be coming off a loss.

The more I think about this, the less likely I see us getting a BCS spot unless we win the Big 12, but plenty can change between now and then. Iowa, Miami and TCU could all lose and drop out.

That's all the speculation I'll do this early, and I'm not giving in to Texas either. I'm also not counting the rest of our games as wins until they're played.

yes i realize that.

qualifications for a BCS at large bid are as follows:

Ranked in top 14

At least 9 wins

that means that 10 of the top 14 teams (unless a conference champion is outside of the top 12...unlikely) will make a BCS bowl. Only 1 non-BCS school is allowed in so that means they cant take 2 spots (captain obvious is me)!

"The current BCS standings and the top 14 rule, allow only nine teams to currently qualify for an at-large spot. With the current BCS scenario, teams in the Big Ten, Big East and ACC will be out of luck when it comes to an at-large bid."

that leaves the SEC, Big 12, and Pac 10 to get an at large bid. The SEC will get one no doubt about it. The Big 12 and Pac 10 are easily the 2nd and 3rd best conferences respectively and will each likely get an at large bid.

if an independent team qualifies for an at large they have to have 9 wins, so if notre dame gets 9 wins they will also likely make a BCS bowl thus leaving out an at large bid from one of the three afformentioned conferences. that is pretty much the only way that i can find that one of those 3 conferences wouldnt get an at large.....

How do you figure that the ACC is automatically left out due to the Top 14 rule? If Miami runs the table and VT runs the table then I guarantee you that Miami gets an at large bid as a 1 loss team.

either way, strength of schedule will play into who gets an at large bid at that point as well as fan following.

the Big 12 is stronger as a whole than the ACC and its not close.

NU has a much stronger fan following and that is also not close.
