Last night was bad and good. Bad that sooners lost but great that Stanford won. We win out and beat Stanford 100% we make the BCS bowl game.
yes but we take FSU spot now if FSU makes it to the NCG. We win out we are in. They were talking about it on ESPN that we control were we play in bowl season. Win out and we are in. I cant see them turning down a 10-2 ND team that beat a Top 3 team if Stanford stays unbeaten.
I am asking because I don't know but how do we get "FSU's spot?" FSU would likely be the automatic qualifier for the Orange Bowl. The best we can hope for is an at large berth. Wouldnt' the next highest ACC team (Miami or Clemson) get the automatic berth in the OB?
For selfish reasons, I would like that to happen so ND could be down here, but I am ambivilent of going to a BCS game as the lower seed and getting steamrolled. ND is likely going to be faced with the dubious distinction of being 0 for the BCS era, either by dropping one or more of the next three games and not qualifying or going and losing.
I agree, a 10-2 ND in most years should get an at large bid, but between our having to claw from #23 down over the next three games and teams like NIU and Fresno St. sitting out there, this may be an anomoly. All they can do, which is more than enough for them to focus on right now, is to handle their own business and win out.
