Here's a question to consider. I've heard this possibility bantered about on some sports talk radio shows. Lets say the at the end of the season that there is only one undefeated team (presumably the winners of the OSU-Team from up north game). And lets say that the OSU-TFUN game is a 24-23 game with the winning FG coming on the last play of the game. Would the BCS dare have a rematch of Ohio State and Michigan in the BCS final championship game?
Boise State should be undefeated.
Weren't Florida and Florida State put in a national championship rematch in the Sugar Bowl after the 1993 season?
They would not rematch, imho.
They are also concerned with TV audience.
First let me say I'm a huge Buckeye fan and a long time Tressel fan. I seriously doubt they would do it because they would take the winner of the Bucks-Wolverine game and match it up to someone else who would most likely jump in the polls. I doubt the public would want to see it either.Just my opinion....GO BUCKS.
My take is that it should work out that way, but won't. But reality is that there will probably be an undefeated team coming out of the Big Least as well, and Cal or USC out of the Pac 10.
57-39-6
WVa looks wonderful.
The Bucks, though. Great. Here's to Buckeye Nation.
WOW, West Virginy whipped Connecticut! THE DRAMA, THE TENSION, HOW DO THEY STAND IT?
USC WILL BEAT OSU,AS USUAL,IN THE NC GAME
Go Rutgers
I don't think that would go do well outside the Big Ten.
Under the Tall_Texan Playoff System that rewards the top eight conference champions* ranked according to their BCS standings, a potential eight-team playoff would look like this:
First round:
#15 Boise State at #1 Ohio State
#13 Arkansas at #3 USC
#12 Clemson at #4 West Virginia
#9 Notre Dame at #7 Texas
Keep in mind, of course, that Ohio State would need to survive Michigan or else Michigan would take that spot. West Virginia has to outlast Louisville and Rutgers for the Big East spot. USC would have to overcome Cal. Arkansas, Clemson and Texas would still have to win their half of the conference and then their conference championship games.
* To qualify for a spot in the Tall-Texan Playoff System, you must win your conference title. There are NO wild cards therefore only one representative from any conference takes part. Notre Dame is treated as a conference unto themselves. The BCS standings do not settle conference championships (see Auburn and Florida higher ranked than Arkansas which presently is the only team in the SEC without a conference loss) but only as a seeding tool for the top eight qualifiers. The first round is played at the higher seed's home field with winners advancing to two major January 1st bowls and the National Championship game played two weeks later.
Key Games Remaining In The Regular Season:
Nov. 2nd: West Virginia at Louisville (Big East)
Nov. 18th: Michigan at Ohio State (Big Ten)
Nov. 18th: California at So. California (Pac 10)
Nov. 25th: Notre Dame at So. California
Dec. 2nd: Big XII Championship (Texas vs Nebraska or Missouri)
Dec. 2nd: ACC Championship (Clemson vs. Miami FL?)
Dec. 2nd: SEC Championship (Arkansas vs Auburn/Florida)
The BCS has no choice. It has to take the top two. Now whether the polls or the computers get some Zogby sauce to prevent that from happening is another story.
