Computer rankings kept Pitt out of Top 10.
Voters in Coaches and Harris kept Cincinnati behind TCU.

Big East needs to pimp, with great force, how they have more teams in the top 25 than the Big 12, SEC and ACC (MWC for good measure) and same amount as the Big Ten and PAC-10.
This is not the time to sit back and be quiet about your laurels.

Unless it has something to do with basketball, don't expect Big East leadership to stand up for, and defend football. But they'll defend basketball when it comes to getting 8 or 9 teams into the NCAAs.
We have 4 teams in the Top 25 and they leap TCU over us in the standings!?
RE: BCS Rankings, 11/8 - bitcruncher - 11-08-2009 05:12 PM
That's why I say we should split away and control our own destiny. The leadership we currently have is basketball first, last, and always...

Will be interesting to see, if Florida and Alabama remain undefeated, how a loss by one to the other in the SEC title game affects one of their BCS standings. It would not stun me if Texas had to remain undefeated because they likely won't be playing a team with more than 8 wins in the Big 12 title game. A loss there or anywhere along the way and a close game in the SEC title game could conceivably make the BCS title game a rematch of the SEC title game, if the rankings do not tighten to give another team a push.
Evidence of the power of Florida or Alabama: LSU, who lost yesterday and lost about .1 off their score, gained one spot in the BCS standings. Granted the losses by Oregon and Iowa had something to do with it, but its better to lose to someone at the top than someone off the board.

The BCS Championship game should NEVER be a rematch of 2 teams that played in their conference championship game. Ohio State and Michigan proved that one a few years ago...

I agree, but if Texas were to lose, while bama and UF stay unbeaten until their SECCG meeting, it is possible that it could happen.
RE: BCS Rankings, 11/8 - bitcruncher - 11-08-2009 08:08 PM
No. The BCS would pick UC, if they remain unbeaten. Boise or TCU I don't know. I think the only way one of them gets picked is if there are no other unbeatens left...

Ditto. If you really are claiming that this is a "National Championship" a loss to the opposing team on a neutral field should eliminate you from the second slot. What are you going to do play two out of three if the 2nd second seed wins?

I think the Big East will probably end the season with only three ranked teams depending on how the last few weeks play out. Rutgers beating USF would result in a simple switch of places, for the time being, although the Bulls could possibly win out afterwards to get back in by the end of the year. The Scarlet Knights would still have to finish up by beating West Virginia, which hasn't happened in 15 years, or they would fall out on the last day of the season. Of course the Mountaineers winning out, along with a Pitt win over Cincinnati and USF winning out, would give the league four 10-2 teams followed by an 8-4 Rutgers. The would be the best argument for the overall strength of the Big East, probably, but I am not sure how high any of them would finish in the BCS Standings. Is boasting four teams ranked between 9th and 18th better than having a Top 5, Top 15, and Top 25 squad?

I like your thinking, KK...
