Not sure how "fischer" can be right, unless wispy is wrong about the non-aq top 12 bid. Could it possibly be Bailer - Alamo, Boise - Sugar, OU or K-State - Cotton, OU or K-State - somewhere below the Alamo?

Boise. 2 ranked opponents, including a win over an $EC division champ.
Bammer. 3 ranked opponents, including a loss to an $EC division champ.

The $EC may have had 5 ranked teams at the end of the year, including Bammer, but Bammer missed two of them (UGA and USC).

And no, I don't think Boise is anywhere near as good as Bammer. I just love jacking with $EC honks and Boise haters. You just happen to be both... :smile2:

That is very true. :lol:
 
OK, looked at the BCS selection criteria... The confusion seems to be that for the top 12 non-AQ thing to apply, the team has to be the conference champion. Which is why Boise doesn't get an automatic bid. And the top 4 bid for Stanford only applies if the #3 team doesn't get in that way. Assuming OSU stays at #3, I think Stanford should have an auto-bid.

Also, to get an auto-bid you have to be in the top 14 of the final rankings. Meatchicken was #16 last week. All the talk about them being in was apparently a load of crap - they obviously didn't end up qualifying.

Kind of interesting that Kjsu would beat out Va Tech for the Sugar Bowl. Might have a lot to do with the Big 12 having more mojo than the ACC, and maybe something to do with Va Tech playing in the Sugar Bowl a few times recently, I think. EDIT: Or maybe not... :lol:

My bad, I must have misread the top-12 thing, I didn't know it had a conference champion tag on it.

Thanks very much. We have been waiting for these f*ckers since 2004! Our hatred for them is only surpassed by...well, your hatred for them.

Photos or stories anyone wants to PM me which cast them in a horrible light would be appreciated for my board.

Why would the Sugar Bowl pass up a possible Stanford-Michigan matchup for a VTech-Michigan matchup?

They have first choice at the at-large teams and can dictate the selection process. Whoever they don't take with the first selection can be picked by the Fiesta but why risk losing a top 5 team? The Fiesta is just as likely of taking Boise State to face Oklahoma State as it is Michigan.

Stanford won't travel like VT.
 
VT in the BCS is a ****ing joke, but it means Atlanta instead of Nashville for UVA, so helps out in that regard. Just a ****ing joke that losing the ACCCG ended up working out better for them. **** VT, what a farce.
