And, as it stands now, Boise State and Utah will be taking automatic bids to the BCS bowls, because they both rank in the top 12.

Ball State will likely be shut out, even though they should receive an automatic bid (top 16 and ranked higher than Big East leader Pitt)

What a gigantic piece of fail.

I’d prefer not to see USC until next year. If the Beavers get the nod though, I’m all for Pasadena.

[...] I see fellow Ohio State blog Men of the Scarlet and Gray also struggled with the tiebreaker thing. It looks like I’ve got it right as stated above. [...]

Just for an even more interesting topic for the next week or so…..

If Oregon St wins out they get the automatic BCS bid and Rose bowl trip….

So there is still a chance we “could” see an OSU vs OSU rose bowl match up lol.

last time that happened in a bowk game we destroyed an over ratted Les Myles and his cowboys. Then he got the LSU job lol.

none of this matters without playoffs. There is only one bowl game that matters and OSU won’t be in it.

Yeah, if OSU and MSU wins out, we’re going to the Rose Bowl.

Sylvester: Only the highest-ranked non-BCS gets an automatic (and that’s conditional, but at least one of Utah and Boise will meet the requirements). When it comes to a second Big Ten team or a second non-BCS, I think the Big Ten team will be the bigger draw.

The FBS rule doesn’t apply until the second tiebreaker.

First tiebreaker is head-to-head.

My heart dropped when you posted on my blog, but I checked it at the Big Ten site….we still go if we tie with MSU.

A three-way tie would send MSU, but that’s no longer possible now.

actually, only one is guaranteed a spot by rule, if there’s two(or more) non-BCS schools in the top 12, only the top one is guaranteed a spot, the other is just a normal at-large.

As long as PSU loses one more game, OSU is guaranteed a Rose bowl, if PSU doesn’t lose, we still have a shot as an at-large

thank you A spartan for finding that info that is great news for Buckeye fans ….

needless to say though the monkey forgot that there is ZERO CHANCE for the big ten to get 2 teams in the BCS bowls this year beacause of 2 teams ….. Utah and Boise St. are more than likely going to finish unbeaten and with thier high BCS rankings already are a shoe in for 2 spots by rule…..

college football is crazy and it is 1 reason we all love it lol.
