Will a 1-loss Louisville jump OSU after they run the Uconn, Houston, Memphis gauntlet?

 

[BigAppleBadger]

Anyone else intrigued by Stewart Mandel putting Wisconsin in the Fiesta Bowl in his predictions, but NOT calling them the most underrated team (unranked in BCS)?

That makes no sense.

Memphis is basically an SEC team, so I'd imagine so.

I'd pick them to win the east this year probably.

I'd pick them to win the east this year probably.

The Pride of Kenton, OH Maty Mauk and the Fightin' Tigers of Missouri would beg to differ. And nobody would notice.

I don't think 2 loss Wisconsin will get a BCS at large bid over 1 loss Clemson (assuming they both win out)

if a tree falls in the woods and there's no one around to hear it, does anybody really give a shit?

Probably not, though I'm not sure they shouldn't. Clemson was DESTROYED by FSU, their win over Georgia is looking less and less impressive, and Wisconsin's first loss has a major asterisk attached to it.

but what about a 1.7 loss Wisconsin team??

 

[BigAppleBadger]

I just think it's bullshit that the computers are allowed to include "distance south of I-40" in their formulas. Really hurts the B1G.

 

[The Authority]

As an elite team, Oregon beats everyone like they should.

Next

You didn't answer the Question. Which ranked teams has Oregon beat?

As a fan of an ACC team, I'm sure you remember Maty's older brother, Ben. They're basically no different than the Mannings.

Full strength Georgia =/= to the Georgia team that is playing now.

While in most years I may agree with you, this season the B1G's OOC scheduling and performance in those games hurt them more than any sort of bias.

 

[NativeWebfoot]

So if OR St keeps on rolling, beats Stanford, UW, USC, and ASU, but loses to Oregon in the Civil War game, would it be possible to see a Rose Bowl with OR St vs Ohio St or Wisconsin?

 

[BigAppleBadger]

Anyway, if Clemson does win out then they probably get a bid. I'm not sure they will though. And the B1G usually gets two BCS teams - last year was a rare exception because OSU was on probation.

We played @ASU and should have had a <30 yard FG attempt for the win, and we play BYU in November. That's not a great OOC but it's not awful.

That was mostly due to the B1G not having a championship game for so long

Not specifically Wisky. The conference as a whole.
