BCS Chaos?
Posted: December 1st, 2005, 8:32 am
This weekend will either be good for BCS supporters (The few of them out there) or it will be good for BCS bashers like me. Here is a senario that if it happens will turn the BCS upside down.
#1 USC loses to UCLA
#2 Texas loses to Colorado
#4 LSU loses to Georgia
#5 Virginia Tech loses to Flordia State
That means the teams that will be in the BCS for sure are:
#1 USC
#3 Penn State
#8 Notre Dame
#11 West Virginia
#13 Georgia
Flordia State
Colorado
That would mean their would be one at large bid for:
#2 Texas
#4 LSU
#5 VT
#6 Ohio State
#7 Oregon
#9 Miami
#12 UCLA
So if that would happen here is what the matchups would look like:
Rose: Penn State VS. USC or Notre Dame
Fiesta: USC or Notre Dame VS. The other AT LARGE TEAM listed above
Orange: Flordia State VS. Colorado
Sugar: West Viginia VS. Georgia
This would be very odd if this does happen and it will probably not happen but if even 2 or 3 of these teams lose it could still hand tie the BCS. The BCS was put in to have the top two teams play for the national championship and then make great matchups with the remaining 6 teams but if this would happen the better matchups would be games like the Cotton Bowl and the Capitol One Bowl. Remember the rankings I am using will be changed after this Saturdays games also.
