3 Non-AQ teams in BCS bowls

Boise State fnishes undefeated and they will make it.



TCU and Utah are in the top 10 now. One has to lose since they play each other, but what if it is a game like two years ago: 13-10.



The rest of the games, both teams look really good. One is ranked in the top 5 and the other is still in the top ten, maybe even 8.



Is there a scenario where all three could end up in BCS bowls?

I hope not. If so, 2 will play in the same game. Perhaps a TCU/Utah rematch. BS will beat anyone they play in the BcS because of 2 things:



1-Fake punts in late 4th quarter, everyone knows it will happen except the team they are playing

2-Trick plays offensively, everyone knows when and how it will hapen except the team they are playing.



I'd rather see the entire Non BcS get snubbed this year. Now that BYU will be making more than some BcS schools, I don't care.

If they were somehow "forced into it" with all the at-large teams with 3 losses like last year, I could see them putting Boise and Utah together and billing it as the two non AQs with two BCS wins playing each other.



TCU would play the Big East champion and slaughter them. In the post game press conference the Big East Commissioner publicly invites TCU to join the conference.

BSU did not use any trick plays to beat VT. I think they've progressed alot since the OU Fiesta Bowl but I don't really care if they play in a BCS bowl or not based on BYU's independence. I will tell you one thing, I am a huge Nevada Reno fan the after thanksgiving this year. I don't see how Boise will stop Vai Tua and Collin kaepernick...



Bottom line is that Alabama is head and shoulders above OSU, OU, BSU and TCU right now. Nobody cans top Richardson or Ingram.



The BCS will try to find a way to screw all three Non-AQ teams if possible that's for sure.

Considering that one will not be a conference champion, no. Two is the max.

I might puke if I have to watch Utah play in another BCS game...plus, Air and TCU will beat them, and even if they miraculously win those games, we'll pull the perfect game out of our butts and beat them to spoil their season

I don't believe It would ever happen. Utah or TCU will be dropped far enough to keep them out. They are more accepting of two in now but they will even try to keep two out if they can. Just like BSU playing in the NC. I don't think they have a prayer. "Something" will cause the BCS to exclude them. OK, Ala, Ohio St., Neb , and Ore are the ones they expect to choose from for the NC.

but, we beat both Utah and TCU this year, so they are both out of the BCS. Maybe we still go at 7 - 5? ;)

Utah will lose AT LEAST two games this year. They are overrated big time.

Well, either TCU or Utah will lose at least 1 game this year, and thus far to get into the BCS as a non-AQ, you have to run the table. So that TCU-Utah game could be a play in game. So I do not see a way for 3 to get in this year as there will not be 3 undefeateds to pick from.

Is that where we've been keeping it?



I'm no coach, but I think that's mistake #1.

Didn't Bama almost lose to Arkansas this year? When was the last time Arkansas was ranked in the Top 5? Or are they elite all of a sudden?

You must not be paying much attention to what's going on in the East. Arkansas was a highly ranked team when they played Alabama, and almost came away with the victory. Ryan Mallet was a Heisman hopeful until he self destructed with three picks against Alabama. Arkansas is a tough team this year. I don't really see anyone beating BAMA this year. They do have a tough game at South Carolina this week, and this isn't your typical South Carolina team.
