Clearing up the BCS Mess
this was from the courier-journal this morning
Quote:
Bowl Championship Series
Bowl Date/Time Site TV Pairing Likely matchup
Rose Jan. 1/5:00 Pasadena ABC Big Ten vs. Pac-10 Michigan vs. LSU/Notre Dame
Fiesta Jan. 1/8:30 Glendale, Az. Fox Big 12 vs. BCS Okla./Neb. vs. Boise State
Orange Jan. 2/8:00 Miami Fox ACC vs. BCS Ga. Tech/Wake vs. Big East/LSU
Sugar Jan. 3/8:00 New Orleans Fox SEC vs. BCS Fla./Ark. vs. N. Dame/Big East
Championship Jan. 8/8:00 Glendale, Az. Fox Ohio State vs. BCS 2 Ohio State vs. Southern Cal
Automatic bids: Champions of the Atlantic Coast (Georgia Tech-Wake Forest winner), Big East (Rutgers, Louisville or West Virginia), Big Ten (Ohio State), Big 12 (Oklahoma-Nebraska winner), Pacific-10 (Southern Cal) and Southeastern (Florida-Arkansas winner) conferences.
At-large possibilities: Boise State (12-0) is a lock because it will finish in top 12 of BCS (it's now eighth); so is Michigan (11-1) if it stays No. 3 (BCS rule). Notre Dame (9-2) is an automatic choice only if it finishes in the top eight (it's 10th) but, like any team with at least nine wins, can be chosen if it finishes in top 14. LSU (10-2) is fifth in BCS and Louisville (10-1) is sixth. Florida (10-1) also is a possibility if it loses SEC title game to Arkansas. Only two teams can be chosen from a conference, so Wisconsin (11-1) is out.
Selection order: In order of how close timewise the bowl is to the championship game (Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Rose), except that bowls losing teams to the title game get to replace them first. So if the Rose loses both teams to the title game as expected, it gets the first two picks, followed by the Sugar, Orange and Fiesta.
Louisville's chances: If West Virginia beats Rutgers and the Cards win, they get the Big East bid and probably an Orange Bowl spot -- assuming the Rose picks LSU and the Sugar takes Notre Dame. If the Rose picks Notre Dame, the Cards may wind up in the Sugar Bowl because that bowl is unlikely to choose an all-SEC matchup. If West Virginia and UConn win, the resulting triple tie will be decided by which team has the highest BCS rank. If Rutgers beats West Virginia, it's unlikely Louisville would be chosen over LSU or Notre Dame and thus would be relegated to a non-BCS bowl. The Gator, Sun and Texas bowls are in the running for the top Big East also-rans.
