If ND isn't in the BCS, the Gator (on NBC) will once again take ND.

I think WVU and Louisville are 1-2 in the BE. 3-4 is between Rutgers and Pitt.

I think it will end up like this:
WVU
ND
Louisville
Pitt
Rutgers

It will depend on if two teams get into the BCS including ND.

Didn't the Meinke one give Navy first dibs as long as it is Bowl Eligible?

Lets not count out the Big East getting 2 teams in BCS bowls. West Virginia/Louisville winner will get the automatic bid but a one loss Louisville or a one loss West Virginia could also sneak in now that there is 10 BCS bids. Also, the wildcards in the Big East if somehow Rutgers or Pitt could upset WVU or Louisville then they may win the conference on a tiebreak and WVU could still get in due to how high they are in the polls now they would not drop out of the top 10 or 12.

The Big East race may be the most exciting race in college football this year and its got me really excited to see it play out down the stretch. Every team in this race really needs this for their programs sake.

West Virginia-Always choke when ranked high in the preseason and need to start high and finish high. If they win out there is national championship possibilities.

Louisville-New to the conference and looking for its first major conference championship and its first BCS bowl bid.

Rutgers-Have been bad for so long before turning it around last year. Need to prove they are here to stay and it would really help their recruiting.

Pitt-Looking to avenge there horrible 2005 season when they underachieved and prove they are back and Wanny's system will work. Also, need to retake the WPIAL in recruiting and a BCS bid will really help.

I can't wait those last two weeks of the season will be really exciting.

My predictions:

WVU-L'ville winner to the BCS
N.Dame to the BCS unless they lose more than 3 games
WVU-Louisville loser to the Gator
Rutgers-Pitt winner to the Sun Bowl
loser to the Texas Bowl in Houston
Navy get the Meineke Car Care (Charlotte) Bowl bid based on agreement
South Florida or whoever else can be Bowl eligible goes to Intenational Bowl in Toronto or Birmingham Bowl and Big East can't fill the other bid.

Obviously if ND missed out on the BCS that bumps everyone down a notch and worst case scenario Pitt heads North to Toronto for a Bowl game and S.Fla. stays south in Birmingham.

I think Pitt has the WPIAL recruiting down allready without the BCS


and the Big East either gets the Gator or the Sun not both......

im guessing a 1 or 2 loss Notre Dame team will get the BCS
SO....WVU-L'ville gets Gator and BCS
Pitt-rutgers gets Houston and International
USF gets Birmiingham or Internationl

Thanks for the correction on the Gator/Sun deal Crimson...I misinterpreted that one.

Last year wasn't the Sun Bowl Northwestern/UCLA?

yeah it was, it was a shootout and one ucla player had 2 onside kick returns for touchdowns near the end of it...
