So with BYU now at #17....
I guess there technically still is a shot, assuming we win out.
Curse you, Jay Santos! And just for Santos, note that SC is now the top-rated 1-loss team in the country. The coaches know talent when they see it.

EDIT: I just looked at the rankings, and BYU is still above Tulsa and Ball State. We really only need Utah (or someone else) to beat TCU, and BSU to lose. And we need to win out. That isn't as improbable as I would have thought. That said, this team needs to refocus quickly or they will lose again. Last edited by Cali Coug; 10-19-2008 at 05:16 PM. |

I don't see BSU losing. Then we can all sit and try to convince ourselves that college football fans think the MWC is better than the WAC, who cares about 3 straight BCS games?

Tulsa would annihilate BYU. So I guess life aint fair. Did you see what Tulsa did to New Mexico, their common opponent?

Have you seen Tulsa play this year or are you just talking out of your ass?

Also did anyone see Tulsa up 70-35 with under 5 minutes to play go for it on 4th and 6 inside Uteps 10 yard line.

Hey, that no one has more class BYU is older than old news. Talk about something else already. The moral high ground was ceded to you by all other NCAA teams back in the 80s or something.

Anyone want to bet that on Nov. 8th SU will be posting that Utah is better than BSU because BSU only beat the Aggies by 45 at home and not 48 on the road like his Utes did. Utah would obviously destroy BSU based this data.

There are a few provisions in the BCS rules that assist more than one mid-major in receiving a BCS invite:
-No more than 2 teams from any conference may participate -All teams ranked in the top 14 are eligible for at-large selections, regardless of conference This year, it is not unfathomable that the final BCS rankings will include 6 Big 12 teams and 4 SEC teams in the top 14, but only 4 of them may participate. Moreover, although only the highest ranked mid-major within the top 12 becomes an automatic qualifier, a mid-major in the top 14 remains an eligible qualifier. |
