Hab das hier aus nem anderen Forum und wurde von nem UM-Fan geschrieben, also erste Person = Miami.
Finds recht interessant, da es einem auch nen Einblick in das Prozedere des "Team pickens" geht.
ND kriegt ja aus irgendwelchen mir unerfindlichen Gründen nen automatischen At Large bid für einen BCS-Bowl, sofern sie 9 Spiele gewinnen. Wahrscheinlich weil es Notre Dame ist. Als SEC-Champ sehe ich eher LSU, die ihr Schicksal in der eigenen Hand haben und mit Siegen gegen Miss und Arkansas die SEC West clinchen könnten.
Sorry für das lange Quoting in Englisch.

ACC Champ - Miami
Big East Champ - West Virginia
Big Ten Champ - Penn State
Big Twelve Champ - Texas
Pac-10 Champ - USC
SEC Champ - Alabama
At-large: ND
At-large: OSU* or LSUHere is how the bowls work....
Rose: Pac 10 vs. Big 10
Fiesta: Big 12 vs. Other
Sugar: SEC vs. Other
Orange: ACC OR Big East vs. OtherThis year the Rose has 1 vs. 2, so the Pac 10 and Big 10 teams are released into the pool of teams to choose from for the other BCS bowls. Here is how the selection process works:
First, the Rose gets 1 vs. 2, which is USC vs. Texas. So that leaves:
ACC Champ - Miami
Big East Champ - West Virginia
Big Ten Champ - Penn State
SEC Champ - Alabama
At-large: ND
At-large: OSU* or LSUNext, bowls who lose their teams to the National Championship game get to choose. They CANNOT choose a host school from another bowl. The Rose would normally get to choose first, since the number one team comes from their bowl, but they are hosting the championship this year. So the Fiesta gets the next choice for losing Texas, and they take ND. Which means we have the following teams left:
ACC Champ - Miami
Big East Champ - West Virginia
Big Ten Champ - Penn State
SEC Champ - Alabama
At-large: OSU* or LSUNext, the Sugar automatically gets the SEC Champion, which is 'Bama, and that leaves:
ACC Champ - Miami
Big East Champ - West Virginia
Big Ten Champ - Penn State
At-large: OSU* or LSUNext, the Orange can pick EITHER the ACC Champ or the Big East champ, they will take the ACC Champ, which is Miami. That leaves:
Big East Champ - West Virginia
Big Ten Champ - Penn State
At-large: OSU* or LSUNext is the confusing part. Each remaining bowl must list out 3 teams that they want. This list must include all eligible teams. They number the teams that they want 1 to 3. And then if there are no discrepancies, everyone gets their first choice. If there is a tie, the order is decided as follows this year (there is a complicated process to determining this order, but the official BCS website says this is the order):
Orange
Fiesta
SugarSo, the Orange might take OSU* to pair them with us, or they might take LSU or Penn State, all 3 are attractive. Either way, they will get their first choice. If the Fiesta chooses the same team as the Orange, then they will get their second choice. In any list, however, the Big East team will be the third choice, which is what the Sugar is getting. So, let's say the Orange pairs us with OSU* (which would be my guess). That leaves:
Big East Champ - West Virginia
Big Ten Champ - Penn StateI think the Fiesta would actually prefer Penn State and list them as their first choice anyway, but that is who they are getting. Leaving:
Big East Champ - West Virginia
So the Sugar gets the Big East champ (which is a given at this point, BTW).
So it will break down like this:
Rose: USC vs. Texas
Fiesta: ND vs. Penn State/OSU*/LSU
Orange: Miami vs. OSU*/Penn State/LSU
Sugar: Alabama vs. West VirginiaBut, you will probably see Penn State in the Fiesta and OSU* in the Orange, because I think both bowls prefer it that way. In any event, we will not play Alabama. There is so much erroneous information posted about BCS matchups on this message board, talking about potential matchups that are impossible. I hope everyone reads this so they know that we cannot play a lot of teams that people keep thinking we might play. In fact, outside of making the Rose Bowl, those 3 teams listed above are pretty much the ONLY possibility. Maybe another at-large team, but not ND since they will be snatched up immediately.
