sacosud Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I'm now a Oregon fan and USC fan!!!!! Ohio State would have a lot better shot at a BCS with a Oregon win and USC winning it's last 2. LETS GO DUCKS. Oregon 10 and Oregon ST. 7 State just put it the endzone 2:22 left in the 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacosud Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Johnson 79 yard run!!! and Oregon scores on the next play. (he should never have been caught) 17-7 1:53 in the 1st. This could be a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Ryan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Why do you want Ohio St to get into a BCS game, seriously. So they can get crushed once again. You should be rooting for them to go to a crap bowl and play someone they can compete with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacosud Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Sorry, I'm not going to bite Sgt. I just don't see the point in it. Have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt Ryan Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Sorry, I'm not going to bite Sgt. I just don't see the point in it. Have a good one. This should get Boise in, over Ohio St. Its a damn shame a team with 2 loses can back into one of these bowls, when there is a more deserving undefeated team like Boise sitting there ranked ahead of Ohio St to begin with.

sacosud Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 Well, I don't make those decisons, but I'm guessing it has to do with money. OSU brings a crowd that loves too spend a lot of cash and the Sugar Bowl is licking it's chops to get Ohio State. I guess that's just how it is Sgt.

theeohiostate Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Hopefully we get to face a Big 12 defense in the Fiesta Bowl , that would give us a great shot at a "W" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 This should get Boise in, over Ohio St. Its a damn shame a team with 2 loses can back into one of these bowls, when there is a more deserving undefeated team like Boise sitting there ranked ahead of Ohio St to begin with. If Oregon holds on and OU beats OSU, couldn't Tech get that open at large bid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacosud Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 If Oregon holds on and OU beats OSU, couldn't Tech get that open at large bid? I don't know, but is there a rule that says only 2 teams from 1 conference can go to BCS??? I'm asking because I don't know. I think that would take Tech out. Who knows it's a mess.

I'm asking because I don't know. I think that would take Tech out. Who knows it's a mess. According to Wikipedia you are right: Selection of TeamsA complicated set of rules is used to determine which teams compete in the BCS bowl games.[4] Certain teams are given automatic berths depending on their BCS ranking and conference, as follows: The top two teams are given automatic berths in the BCS National Championship Game. The champion of a BCS conference (ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-10, and SEC) is guaranteed an automatic BCS bowl bid. The highest ranked champion of a non-BCS conference will receive an automatic berth if: It is ranked in the top twelve, or Ranked in the top sixteen and higher than another BCS Conference champion. A special case is made for independent Notre Dame, which receives an automatic berth if it finishes in the top eight. No more than two teams from any one conference may receive berths in BCS games unless two non-champions from a BCS conference finish as the top two teams in the final BCS standings. The third-ranked team will receive an automatic berth if it has not already received one, and if it is a member of a BCS Conference. If the third-ranked team did not require an at-large berth, then the fourth-ranked team will receive an automatic berth if it has not already received one, and if it is a member of a BCS Conference. After the automatic berths have been granted, the remaining berths, known as "at-large" berths, are filled from a pool of teams who are ranked in the top fourteen and have at least nine wins. The actual teams that are chosen for the at-large berths are determined by the individual bowl committees.

"No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings." So yea, Tech is probably looking at the Cotton Bowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menudo Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 As a PSU fan, I'm absolutely loving this Ducks victory. The PSU-USC game is much more exciting to me than an Oregon State re-match. P.S. ...and yes Sarge, I know that you think that PSU will get destroyed and embarrassed, so, don't wast the time to type it. TIA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacosud Posted November 30, 2008 Author Share Posted November 30, 2008 State scores another one, this a complete shootout. 44-31 16 penalties against the Ducks...."ouch"...not all accepted, but that's a ton of laundry on the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeohiostate Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) Looks like the Bucks get to face OU , Texas or Tech in the Fiesta Bowl We'll wait and see. I do love our offense against those defenses though. Our D has played lousy , so I'd expect a shootout in the upper 30's with whomever we face. GO BUCKS ! ! What is that ? 6 BCS Births in 8 seasons, 1 NC , 3 NC games ............impressive program results for Tressel and company.

I think it's 50/50 at this point. I would lean towards OSU going to FLA and playing Georgia in the Capital One. Boise St and Utah is involved in the picture which makes the Buckeyes, maybe on the outside looking in. We shall see. The BCS has enough issues and I can see Boise getting the nod to calm down the natives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robash Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Im torn on Boise getting the BCS nod...would love to seem them pull off another david and goliath type performance, but at the same time i think a Boise St vs Ball St game would be awesome to watch.

I don't see any committee turning down what would certainly be much more $$$ just to make a small contingency happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the counting chickens part, considering that one of the main reasons you have given for why OSU gets a BCS bid being that their fans travel and spend well, I wouldn't be so quick to count this as another feather in the cap for Tressel. On some levels, it has been a nice run for OSU. A run, however, that has been very much aided by getting the benefit of the doubt, not being penalized for coupling a sometimes pathetic OOC schedule with a down conference. A run that has also been very marred by getting totally out-classed by every elite team they've played over the last 3 years. Quite simply, you know as well as I do that OSU doesn't deserve a BCS game. I admire your allegiance to your team, but this is simply not one of the 8-10 best teams in the country. They should certainly be playing on Jan 1, but that is it. Money talks and all that, but from a stand point of which group of kids deserves the bid, you don't have a limb to stand on and it would be very unfortunate for 2 loss team that has failed miserably on the National stage of late to get the nod over any of the undefeated non-BCS schools.

Then you must also agree that UC and BC don't belong in the BCS , a 2 loss and 3 loss team. Oregon St could have made it to the Rose Bowl with 3 losses too. OSU is more deserving then all 3 of those schools and would beat any of them. I realize Boise St whipped up on OU , but this OSU team is much better then that OU team. As far as OCC , we've played home and home vs Texas, USC and OU is next. Not many schools have that on the docket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
