Only 2 teams per conference in BCS?

[Mags]

What kind of rule is that? Boy, that is dumb....

I can easily see the Wisconsin Badgers sneaking in the top 10 of the BCS by the time all is said and done... They are sitting at 10-1 with one game to play, and other teams are losing left and right, with more tough games to play...

AND then they don't even get a BCS bid, due to having Ohio State and Michigan in the same conference (which happen to be 1-2 in the country - showing how strong the BIG 10 is, at least at the top of the conference)

It seems that, if your team earns a BCS bid by being in the top 10 at year end, you should get a BCS Bowl Bid, no matter what conference or how many teams in your conference are already in.....

Thoughts everyone?

Could always not make sense in a year, but they have to have such a rule....a third place team shouldnt make it .....

If the Big 11 played a real schedule or had a title game Wiscy wouldnt have this problem...

stay out of my threads....

you never have anything positive to say, so I would just rather not hear from you.

 

[Sun Tzu]

what...positive means agreeing with you? If your conference did like Pac10 and added a conference game insteaqd of Western Carolina for the blind or whomever you could have played Ohio State and had a beef...

I do agree we should play everyone in our conference, but even if we played OSU and lost that would be 2 losses to the top 2 ranked teams in the country. But I'm sure that wouldn't impress anyone anyway. Just my .02. GL

For your information Wisconsin is playing Buffalo:tongue

Put it this way:

Wisconsin played #2 Michigan ON THE ROAD and lost by 14...

Texas played #1 Ohio State AT HOME and got beat by 17....

Based on those comparisons, WI is definitely better than TX... GOOD teams don't lose at home, much less get blown out.

And the Big12 surely hasn't been very strong this year, that's for sure....Nebraska going to win the North? Who Hoo - now there is a great team

Wait.. Texas struggled to beat them tooo

Sure it would.....thats what happened to Ohio State last year...but you just cant let the 3rd place team from a conference in....thats just crazy and would be to possible to have abuse.....

actually florida scheduled western carolina next week

 

[airportis]

if Rutgers wins out, they will play for the NC. WVU is ranked 10th in BCS this week, and with #6, #3, and #8 losing, they definitley move up. That would give Rutgers a win vrs top 3 BCS along with whatever WVU would be. Voters will not deny Rutgers a shot.

i wish the big 10 did play another conference game but to say they dont play a real schedule is ludacris.....<----hmm did i spell that right?

ludacris is the rapper lol i think its ludicrous

How is that crazy? When you have 2 teams in a conference with 11-1 records, and one team at 12-0 in a power conference?

Agreed, it is unlikely that this will happen very often, but if all 3 teams are legitimate top 10 teams based on BCS standings, why not?

And how can there be "Abuse".. by having 3 teams in a conference win too often?

Bottom line - the Big 10 is top heavy, but definitely the strongest conference in the nation from 1-3... it does get weaker after that...

And the Big East could be second, with 3 top teams... but not as strong as the Big 10's top 3 overall

Thats what I meant by real schedule...you wouldnt even be able to talk 3 BCS teams if they played each other or had a conference title game...

although Wiscy can hardly bitch with its OOC schedule and not playing Ohio State....they have played one good team this year and lost, and OOC of Buffalo, Bowling Green, Western Illinois and San Diego State.....

who knows how good they are...am I supposed to think so because they pounded Indiana and Northwestern?

As I have said many times, though few listen. the Big 12 sucks as well and good arguments can be made against Texas - there just arent many good fottball teams out there. But Wiscy - please....

How is Wisky not a good team? You are such a hater. These teams schedule games years in advance sometimes so its not their fault if they have a great season they play a few cupcakes. Wisc only lost @ ohio state, and texas let ohio state come there and put the shellack on them

 

[Sun Tzu]

I didnt say they werent good. I said how do we know..they havent beaten a good team. Not a single win they have is against a team in the Top 25....

Has nothing to do with hate, it is simple fact.....and I dont care when they scheduled the OOC games....in what your would that have been a good schedule?

 

[Dice34]

I'm not making a case for wisky to be in the bcs, just the fact that the big 10 didnt play a real schedule but your point is that they didnt add a conference game or championship game but....does it make a conference that plays a championship game so real?.....i mean the only reason they play one of those is for more money for the schools......that a THEIR problem that they made one and shouldnt cry about losing or missing out on a bcs bowl because of it, nor should it hinder any other conference that doesnt have one because of greed.

 

[airportis]

if they win out you put them in the bcs, thats how you see how good they are.

 

[airportis]

sun, in your world i guess we shoudl just exclude every team that dosent have a hard schedule right off the bat and not let other teams even have a chance right?

 

[Sun Tzu]

No...my point is they are missing out on a shot arguably because they didnt play Ohio State or any decent OOC team.

That is their own fault, not the system's, as flawed as it may be. You want to play cupcakes fine. Dont want a conference championship game - fine. But dont bitch about the results.

If they ahd a conference title game,or played every team in their conference, like everybody else except Pac 10 there would pretty much NEVER be a legit argument thyat a conference should get 3 BCS teams because youa re going to have at least one of those teams with 2 losses...
