| FTBL A what if to consider (about BCS)

[jdpas29]

what if Texas loses one regular season game and wins their conference and the same happens for Bama where we potentially lose to LSU but beat Fla???

would the computers favor Texas, Bama or some other one loss team to play against Penn St.?

my guess is probably Texas based on strength of schedule.

In games played so far, Texas is ranked lower in SOS. (6th Bama vs 18 Tx)

Tech moves them up, LSU moves us up. Their Championship game moves them up...ours does as well.

The difference is you are comparing the North of the Big 12 (Mizzou) with the East of the SEC (Florida in this case with a W over UGA...if that happens)

FWIW, in this case scenario, USC goes, IMO.

jeez. These type of questions always give me a headache. It's like that part of the SAT that everybody hates. :wink:

yeah i could see that

if texas wins out and penn st. drops a game, we could have a steers vs. queers matchup!!! :lol:

Here is the most messed up part of this whole thing: Whoever loses first is at an advantage.

What I mean is, USC lost in late September to Oregon State. If that remains their only loss, they will have had time to make up that ground and be in line for a shot at the BCSCG. Now, that is bull. The reason I think it's bull is because they play their better opponents early and mid in their schedule, saving some weaker opponents till the end. See-UCLA. Plus, is the PAC 10 stronger than the SEC or Big 12? I think not.

This system rewards teams that have no conference title game because that is one less possible late loss in the season, regardless of how dominant they were throughout the season. This is bogus. Again, it's kind of like awarding the Tennessee Titans an automatic trip to the Super Bowl without going through playoffs because they won all their games during the regular season! Ludicrous! Stand up!

I don't think teams that come from conferences without a title game should be eligible for the BCSCG. Yes, that includes the Big 10(11) and the Pac 10. Until they get a conference title game, in whatever format, they should be precluded from even being considered. If you don't have a conference title game, you should have to play in a Bowl "wild-card" game. For instance, USC should have to play Penn State to determine who is eligible for the BCSCG.

We are just not comparing apples to apples here folks.

Just win, baby! That will solve it!

Make a checklist...and finish what you start...

We lose, we are out of the NC race. USC will scoot in there I imagine.

How is this the case? They lose to an unranked team and don't play a conference championship. We lose to a ranked LSU (Defending National Champion), add one more win against another Top 10 team, and the computers LOVE us. I don't see the math adding up.

They lost early. Like it or not, it comes into play nearly every year.

I thought this was what the BCS was supposed to "deal" with ? Sounds like we are heading to a full scale playoff at some point. I just hope it isn't Bama that gets the stiff at some point..[/quote]

One of the main reasons I think this is their opponents W/L records.
