I'm no Don Johnson here, so forgive me for thinking aloud, but is it possible that Oregon State gets the automatic bid (run the table against Cal, AZ, & Oregon) from the Pac-10? They have the tie-breaker against USC.

That would put a 3 loss team in a BCS game. Anyone know if that has happened as of yet?

Poor TCU...having to play an old SWC opponent for their bowl game, in Fort Worth of all places.

At least they'd get a good turnout, but the bowl trip is supposed to be about having a free vacation to some exotic locale, an out-of-the-ordinary opponent, and showcasing your team to different parts of the country.

I'm pretty sure Illinois had three losses when they went to the Rose Bowl last year.

And Boise, Birmingham, Shreveport, Charlotte, and Albuquerque.

All epic failures as far as bowl sites.

Yep, Oregon State controls their own destiny in the Pac-10.

I think 11-1 UT team would get a BCS at large bid over Tech.

Oregon was pretty solid all year... and that triple running back formation all running towards the QB was really deceptive except for the fact that you knew that Quizz Rogers was going to get the majority of the snaps... you just didn't know where he was going to poke his head out from between the huge lineman until he was already 5-6 steps ahead of you.

Good to see USC struggling this year... with all that 5-star talent and no clicking offense. Come on... 17-3 against Cal and with a "stolen" touchdown that should have been reviewed? PAC-10 officials at it again.

Looking that over, I think it's funny to see BYU playing in Sin City.

Hey now...stop all of that sarcasm right now Mister!

Both teams could enjoy a night out at Medieval Times, They could challenge each other with some go-kart races...there is plenty of stuff to do. :D

They finnaly updated, now Pitt is playing in the Orange Bowl.


However, their poll that asks "Who is the best one loss team in the country" still has TCU as an answer. (Pssssst. TCU has 2 losses)......
