I gotta brag about my call on this one. I've been saying all day that it could work this way. Plus, I called it on May 17th:

No one called it before me.

This is fantastic news.

The athletic department needs to kick things into high gear and get the word out. They need to put as many butts in those dingy old seats at the HRS as possible. Winning a conference championship in front of a packed house could do wonders for the program.

Awesome! When I first saw the BCS standings it showed Marshall above Rice but it was a different ranking that gave more weight to the human polls. Thank you CBS sports for having inaccurate information! 05-nono

"I worked with C-USA today on an extended BCS formula for breaking the tie between Marshall and Rice for home field advantage in the conference championship game," said Palm. "It doesn't match the formula I use for my ratings on CBSSports.com, which serve a different purpose, but I believe it was absolutely appropriate and fair."

I wonder when this work occurred?

Edit: Oops..missed that he said "today." It seems pretty odd to me to work on a formula *after* the results were in! I think I might be a little upset if I were a Marshall fan.

RE: RICE IS HOSTING!!!
I assume that both Rice and Marshall provided some input on what they thought would be a fair formula. Congratulations to Rice for being persuasive.http://csnbbs.com/images/smilies/04-cheers.gif

Maybe it was Greenspan using is behind the scenes connections (....Oh wait).

While I'm happy with the result, it strikes me that this CUSA press release essentially admits that the whole scheme is made-up smoke and mirrors to achieve an artificial precision (and thus the illusion of accuracy), and that it is no more rational (i.e., no more "appropriate and fair") than a coin flip or historical criterion would have been.
