Houston win yesterday pretty much guaranteed that won't happen.

Why? Is there a rule that both TCU and Houston can not go? TCU is the winner of their conference. Makes more sense them going rather than an also ran Michigan team from the Big Ten.

Houston will have auto bid. No rule that says TCU can't go, but only time a non-AQ has ever been picked as an at-large has been an unbeaten team. I would be shocked if TCU plays in BCS bowl.

What happens if Georgia beats LSU in the title game? Boise has a win over Georgia at Georgia and only 1 loss to TCU. IMO, in that scenario Boise State could make it to the BCS in addition to Houston. Michigan barely beat a 6-6 Ohio State team at home. Hopefully Stanford beats Notre Dame and that means Michigan has only 1 win over a Top 25 team and did not play either Penn State or Wisconsin. Michigan is not a good football team IMO. If you are worried about butts in the seats then pick Oklahoma.

A three-loss OU team against a 10-2 Michigan team? No question...Wolveries go. They don't have the nation's largest stadium for nothing. It's POSSIBLE (though unlikely) that if UGA beats LSU in the CCG game, but LSU and Bama are still 1-2 in the BCS standings, then the SEC would get 3 teams in the BCS (the only scenario where that can happen).

How about OU winning the Big 12 Title in OT? OU gets AQ from the Big 12 and OSU might still be a damn attractive team. Michigan has 1 win over a Nebraska team and that is about it. Their win at home over a very average Ohio State team was not impressive.

I'm sorry...I thought we were talking about COLLEGE FOOTBALL. Unless you're talking about the BCS Championship game, win quality doesn't matter. If UM is available as an at-large there aren't 5 teams in the nation who would jump ahead of them.

Of course, if OU wins, they go to the Fiesta. That puts OKSt. in the Cotton. Nothing attractive about a team coming off 2 straight losses, regardless of how.

Mizzoulander...what's your obsession with cyclonefanatic? Missouri is playing Kansas in a scoreless game almost at the end of the 1st quarter in the last ever game between these two hated teams...And you're posting on here at CF. Don't you have a game to watch?

I'm multitasking. :smile:

Awful game so far. Both teams look terrible. The officiating is terrible. The field conditions are terrible. KU brought no fans.

If this rivalry is supposed to be a reason to stay in the Big 12, thanks but no thanks.

Zou who? They gone.

I definitely think that aTm and MO may have a tough time to get to a bowl this year, especially if they lose to KU.

Nothing I love more than posting on the Kansas State forums while we're playing Iowa...

Not scoreless anymore. KU is up 10-0.

Won't matter. BCS at large picks are a popularity contest of eligible teams. Always has been. Not saying it is right or the way it should be. Just what reality is.

Does the K-State forum have a thread during the Iowa game called "F*** the Cyclones?"

The fact is you want me on that thread. You NEED me on that thread. :smile:

I wouldn't know because truthfully, I really don't check what happens on forums of teams that my team isn't playing. Outside of beating #2 of course, but then KU would hardly qualify there.
