• Question:-Does anyone have the time and the insight to make Bowl Projections?
  Also could you explain how the Bowl system works in a nutshell. Sometimes it seems strange that teams that are not exactly even matchups play each other. My favorite team is Missouri and I want to see them play an SEC school that doesn't make BCS (since Missouri likely won't make a BCS Bowl). LSU, Florida, Georgia, Auburn: at least 2 or 3 of these will not make a BCS bowl and would be a good matchup for Missouri.
  
  Answer:-The only bowl game that is a safe be is the EagleBank with Navy...
  
  In a Nutshell:
  Conferences have contracts with bowls for its members. Most conferences meet their quota, but from time to time there isn't enough bowl-eligible (500 or better) teams. In such instances, they'll get a replacement team from another conference.
  
  Team selection is not based of fair match-up or finish in conference, but rather on which school's fan-base travels better. Bowls want schools with loyal fans who will make the bowl game a full week vacation... this means tourist $$$$ for the local chamber of commerce.
  
  Missouri can still make a BCS game if they can win the Big 12 champ by winning the North division and the championship game. Non BCS bowls that have Big 12 vs SEC teams are the Cotton and the Independence.
  
  it appears as though the SEC might fall short on having enough teams for their 10 bowl commitments (assuming they get 2 BCS bowls)
• Question:-Does anyone know any good websites with college football bowl projections that are current?

  Thanks
  
  Answer:-there is a message board on the bcs site, they are always making them

• Question:-This Year's NCAA Bowl Projections don't make sense, can someone make sense of them for me?
  Mostly I am concerned about the SEC and it's bowl projections. Here's the thing, if Tennessee gets to the SEC title game and loses, doesn't that make them 2nd in the SEC, 1st being LSU? Why wouldn't that put them in the Sugar Bowl and not Georgia? Also, why would Florida be in a bowl higher than Tennessee if UT does in fact win the SEC? If someone could give me a rundown, that'd be great. Thanks
  
  Answer:-Tennessee is 8-3,Georgia is 9-2 thats why Georgia is ranked higher.
  
  and if Tennessee loses against LSU they will be 9-4(if they beat Kentucky this Saturday)
  Tennessee will be 6-3 in the conference and Georgia will be 7-2 in the conference.thus making Georgia the second best team in the Conference.
  
  
  Florida will have a better record than Tennessee,since Florida beat Tennessee.thats why Florida will get a higher bowl.
  
  
  
  in all Tennessee needs to win the SEC championship to even be in a BCS bowl game.

• Question:-bowl projections: if Michigan loses to Ohio State how is it going to get into the BCS?
  this is what the bowl projections imply. Georgia is 10th in the BCS and needs to win out to get into the BCS (this is what was said). Michigan is BCS 12th but can lose to ohio state to get to the BCS. i don't follow this logic.
  
  http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?SID=1144&CID=735896
  the bowl projections put them in the rose bowl with OSU in the championship game. so that means OSU beats Michigan. would the Rose Bowl pick the highest ranked big 10 team no matter where it is in the BCS? the OSU would put UM near 16th or 17th in the BCS
  i am just wondering if this is even possible
  ok it's possible if Michigan doesn't fall below 14th in the BCS after losing to OSU.
  if michigan falls below 14th if they lose to OSU they are not eligible for BCS. they are currently 12th. i don't see how they not fall at least 3 spots if that happens.
  
  Answer:-capital one

rose bowl

• Question:-Rose Bowl?
  Rose Bowl or Rose Parade? Which do you most enjoy watching and why?
  
  Answer:-the rose bowl! 3 hours of football is much better than watching a bunch of mechanical floats covered in flowers driving down a street.
• Question:-rose bowl?
  now that usc made the rose bowl who do you think is going to play usc?
  
  Answer:-i'm guessing illinois or georgia...but then again, the BCS is weird sometimes...
• Question:-What is so special about the rose bowl from all the other bowl games?
  Everybody always makes a big deal about the rose bowl football game from all the other bowl games like the tostitos bowl and all those other ones.
  
  Answer:-the rose bowl is the original bowl. for many years the rose bowl alone determined the national champion. all the other bowls are copy cats and pretenders to the rose bowl.
• Question:-What is the US dollar value of an authentic U of M 1987 Rose Bowl Football?
  The ball has the U of M 1987 logo with two roses extending from the base of the M and the words "Rose Bowl" directly under. It is signed by (and the are authentic signatures) Bo Schembechler, Lloyd Carr, Jim Harbaugh, Cam Cameron, Billy Harris, and the majority of the rest of the 1987 team. Can we get an estimate on the value. It's in good condition.
  
  Answer:-Its probably worth several hundred thousand dollars, but I will offer you $25.
• Question:-Where do I start looking to book a trip to watch the Rose Bowl Parade?
  My dad loves parades and the Rose Bowl Parade is on his bucket list. We are trying to plan a family trip for this NYE and aren't sure where to begin. There will be 3 families total - my parents, my sister and myself and 3-4 teenagers. Where do we stay? Where do we sit? Can we purchase spots in risers or should we camp out curbside? We attended the Macy's parade a few years ago Thanksgiving and were lucky enough to find a hotel on the parade route. Is that possible in Pasadena? Thanks
  
  Answer:-Call a travel agent in your area to lineup your itinerary. It'll be much easier if you have them plan it for free. Then you can have a full cost for the trip so you can save your pennies. Another thing is if you have any desire to see the Rose Bowl game, forget it. You'll have to choose between the parade or game.
• Question:-What is the G thing during the Rose Bowl?
  If you were watching the Rose Bowl, there were about 2 or 3 commercials witth atheletes lined up and someone ( sounded like Lil Wayne ) in the background saying stuff and at the end a big G came onto the screen. Does anyone know what this is?
  
  Answer:-No i though the same thing but i was stumped. A G is a gangster but that wasn't it. it was a COOL commercial though.
• Question:-How late is the Rose Bowl in Pasadena CA open each night for running walking and jogging around the stadium?
  What time do most people stop running walking and jogging around the Rose Bowl stadium at night?
  
  Answer:-You know it's not IN the Rose Bowl, it's AROUND the Rose Bowl and the golf course, right? It's around the outside perimeter. Be sure to wear reflective clothing, since you're on the street at least part of the time.
  
  This is a pdf that has info from the City of Pasadena about walking around the Rose Bowl, distances of the loops, advice, etc:
  http://cityofpasadena.net/trans/trafficoperations/pdf/WalkingAroundTheRoseBowl.pdf
  
  Walking in Pasadena project: http://www.upandmoving.org/
  
  I'm not sure how late people walk around the Rose Bowl, but I think mostly they stop before about 10pm, not sure because it is likely different now that it is fall, last time I was there was during the summer about 8:30pm and there were lots of people.
  
  Have fun!
• Question:-How do I watch the Rose Bowl in Puerto Vallarta?
  I'm in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and want to watch the Rose Bowl very badly. We have SKY satellite TV at our condo. Does anyone know what channel this will be on or if it is even available. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks so much.
  
  Answer:-Rose Bowl also have a lot of Mexican fans, maybe it'll be broadcasting in Spanish in the local channel or UNIVISION, if you want for the original English broadcasting, ask to your concierge in the CONDO or look for some Bar , maybe a taxidriver can help you, enjoy it!!!
• Question:-how does the automatic bid for the rose bowl work?
  so i hear oregon state has the automatic bid for the rose bowl right now over usc. if oregon state wins there next game against oregon will they get the bid to go to the rose bowl over usc?
  
  if usc doesnt go to the rose bowl will they go to the holiday bowl, sun bowl, or the emerald bowl?
  
  Answer:-If Oregon State wins next week they will be in the Rose Bowl against Penn State.
  
  If Oregon State loses, then it will be USC vs. Penn State.
  
  If USC doesn't make the Rose Bowl, they still have a shot at one of the at-large bid for the BCS bowl games.
  
  Oregon State holds the tie-breaker with USC in the Pac 10 since they beat USC and because there is no conference championship game.
• Question:-What lot has Motorcycle parking available at the Rose Bowl?

• Question:-How does LSU advance in the BCS rankings after loss to Alabama?
  LSU advanced in the BCS rankings, but how? What teams were ahead of them that also lost in order for them to stay in the top 10?
  
  Answer:-Oregon and Iowa lost. But, to stay in the top 10 when you were 9 to start is an insult to anyone with an IQ. Teams drop 5 slots or more with a loss this late.
  
  The sec central office would have to have total control over rankings and outcomes of all games instead of just who wins in their conference. If that was true, so much for any respect they, the BCS, or officiating crews, might have had in anyones mind.
• Question:-Can anyone explain how the BCS computer rankings are calculated?
  When looking at the BCS rankings on yahoo, the 25 teams get a computer average. For the top 4 It shows:
  #1 LSU 0.940
  #2 Alabama 0.940
  #3 Oklahoma State 1.000
  #4 Standford 0.800
  
  I know the computer part (1/3rd) of the BCS is an average of 6 different computer systems. But I don't have a clue where those numbers come from.
  
  Answer:-I'm not a fan of the BCS and I think the whole system is convoluted, but I have figured out the computer systems calculation math. And it is complicated.
  
  First of all, you can't use the Yahoo Sports BCS rankings page because it doesn't show the individual computer system rankings. The ESPN link below shows them. I'm sure there are many other sites that you could use.
  
  As you said, there are 6 computer systems that rank the top 25 teams. However, the highest and lowest rankings are tossed out and the remaining 4 are used in the calculation.
  
  For each of the 4 rankings used, points are awarded using a reverse scale.
  Rank/ Points
  1 / 25
  2 / 24
  3 / 23
  4 / 22
  5 / 21
  6 / 20
  7 / 19
  8 / 18
  etc.
  down to:
  25 / 1
  
  So a team gets 4 sets of points based on the 4 rankings. They are added up, then divided by 100 to convert to a percentage. The conversion is done so the computer average is on the same numerical basis as the Coaches Poll and Harris Poll and can be averaged with those to come up with the overall BCS ranking.
  
  The Coaches and Harris polls are done using the same reverse scale for all the rankings from individual voters a team gets. For each of those, the points are totaled up and divided by the number of voters to get the percentages. You can think of the computer system 1/3 as a poll with 4 voters.
  
  Told you it was complicated. But some examples will clarify it better.
  
  For this week, Oklahoma State earned these 6 computer systems rankings...
  1 2 1 1 1 1 Toss the highest and lowest.. leaves us with 1 1 1 1.
  So when we assign the points for each ranking, we get 25 25 25 25
  added up that's 100 .. divide by 100 = 1.000
  
  So that's the Cowboys computer ranking expressed as a percentage to be used in the overall BCS calculation. That happens to be the highest percentage possible and it makes sense because they were ranked #1 by all 4 computer systems used.
  
  Let's do Standford's...
  computer rankings.. 5 4 6 8 8 5 ... toss high/low ... 5 6 8 5 ... award points ... 21 20 18 21 .. add up.. 80 .. divide by 100 = 0.800
  
  And Alabama's...
  computer rankings.. 2 3 3 3 2 2 ... toss high/low ... 3 3 2 2 ... award points ... 23 23 24 24 .. add up.. 94 .. divide by 100 = 0.940
  
  LSU was ranked differently by the computers but ended up with the same percentage as Alabama because when you drop the high and low the same number of points are awarded.
  3 1 2 2 3 3 ... 2 2 3 3 ... 24 24 23 23 ... 94 ... 0.940
• Question:-Where can I find the Strength of Schedule for the BCS Rankings?
  I was looking through the BCS rankings and did not find the strength of schedule on it. DOes anyone know where I can find that.
  
  Answer:-The BCS is a joke. For accurate Ratings I use the BGS Power Ratings, found right here on Yahoo!

• Question:-Does the BCS update their rankings after the Championship Game? Who is ranked higher USC or Texas?
  I have a bet on the "Final BCS Rankings".
  
  Answer:-The BCS does not release any more rankings after the bowl games, another stupid feature that calls for a playoff! The AP does release a poll, and it can be found at this link www.appoll.com
• Question:-Does your local newspaper print the BCS rankings?
  The Dallas Morning News prints only the AP rankings. I honestly don't care about the AP poll and I think the newspaper is showing a bias toward its own professional organization by ignoring the BCS.
  
  Answer:-No
• Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
  For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?
  
  Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.
  
  The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.
  
  Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.
  
  It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.
  
  Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.
  
  Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.
  
  It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.
  
  And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.
  
  So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.
  
  Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
• Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  
  Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.
  
  Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).
  
  The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

  Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.
  
  The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.
  
  Most teams have played 6 or 7 games by the time the BCS rankings start so they will always differ a lot from the preseason rankings. The teams at the top of the rankings may be the same, or close to the same, depending on how they've done at that point in the season.
  
  It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.
  
  Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.
  
  Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.
  
  It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.
  
  And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.
  
  So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.
  
  Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
• Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  
  Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.
  
  Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).
  
  The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

• Question:-How does LSU advance in the BCS rankings after loss to Alabama?
  LSU advanced in the BCS rankings, but how? What teams were ahead of them that also lost in order for them to stay in the top 10?
  
  Answer:-Oregon and Iowa lost. But, to stay in the top 10 when you were 9 to start is an insult to anyone with an IQ. Teams drop 5 slots or more with a loss this late.
  
  The sec central office would have to have total control over rankings and outcomes of all games instead of just who wins in their conference. If that was true, so much for any respect they, the BCS, or officiating crews, might have had in anyones mind.
• Question:-Can anyone explain how the BCS computer rankings are calculated?
  When looking at the BCS rankings on yahoo, the 25 teams get a computer average. For the top 4 It shows:
  #1 LSU 0.940
  #2 Alabama 0.940
  #3 Oklahoma State 1.000
  #4 Standford 0.800
  
  I know the computer part (1/3rd) of the BCS is an average of 6 different computer systems. But I don't have a clue where those numbers come from.
  
  Answer:-I'm not a fan of the BCS and I think the whole system is convoluted, but I have figured out the computer systems calculation math. And it is complicated.
  
  First of all, you can't use the Yahoo Sports BCS rankings page because it doesn't show the individual computer system rankings. The ESPN link below shows them. I'm sure there are many other sites that you could use.
  
  As you said, there are 6 computer systems that rank the top 25 teams. However, the highest and lowest rankings are tossed out and the remaining 4 are used in the calculation.
  
  For each of the 4 rankings used, points are awarded using a reverse scale.
  Rank/ Points
  1 / 25
  2 / 24
  3 / 23
  4 / 22
  5 / 21
  6 / 20
  7 / 19
  8 / 18
  etc.
  down to:
  25 / 1
  
  So a team gets 4 sets of points based on the 4 rankings. They are added up, then divided by 100 to convert to a percentage. The conversion is done so the computer average is on the same numerical basis as the Coaches Poll and Harris Poll and can be averaged with those to come up with the overall BCS ranking.
  
  The Coaches and Harris polls are done using the same reverse scale for all the rankings from individual voters a team gets. For each of those, the points are totaled up and divided by the number of voters to get the percentages. You can think of the computer system 1/3 as a poll with 4 voters.
  
  Told you it was complicated. But some examples will clarify it better.
  
  For this week, Oklahoma State earned these 6 computer systems rankings...
  1 2 1 1 1 1 Toss the highest and lowest.. leaves us with 1 1 1 1.
  So when we assign the points for each ranking, we get 25 25 25 25
  added up that's 100 .. divide by 100 = 1.000
  
  So that's the Cowboys computer ranking expressed as a percentage to be used in the overall BCS calculation. That happens to be the highest percentage possible and it makes sense because they were ranked #1 by all 4 computer systems used.
  
  Let's do Standford's...
  computer rankings.. 5 4 6 8 8 5 ... toss high/low ... 5 6 8 5 ... award points ... 21 20 18 21 .. add up.. 80 .. divide by 100 = 0.800
  
  And Alabama's...
  computer rankings.. 2 3 3 3 2 2 ... toss high/low ... 3 3 2 2 ... award points ... 23 23 24 24 .. add up.. 94 .. divide by 100 = 0.940
  
  LSU was ranked differently by the computers but ended up with the same percentage as Alabama because when you drop the high and low the same number of points are awarded.
  3 1 2 2 3 3 ... 2 2 3 3 ... 24 24 23 23 ... 94 ... 0.940

• Question:-Does the BCS update their rankings after the Championship Game? Who is ranked higher USC or Texas?
  I have a bet on the "Final BCS Rankings".
  
  Answer:-The BCS does not release any more rankings after the bowl games, another stupid feature that calls for a playoff! The AP does release a poll, and it can be found at this link www.appoll.com
• Question:-Does your local newspaper print the BCS rankings?
  The Dallas Morning News prints only the AP rankings. I honestly don't care about the AP poll and I think the newspaper is showing a bias toward its own professional organization by ignoring the BCS.
  
  Answer:-No
• Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
  For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially?

• Question:-Stanford football?
  Will Stanford suck at football as much as they did last year? Any opinions?
  
  Answer:-They have some hope with a new coach. I think they'll still have a losing record though. GO BEARS!!!
• Question:-Is Stanford football the next hottest thing in the San Francisco Bay Area?
  Wow, if not for a couple bad early season losses to Wake Forest and Arizona, we'd be talking national title contention!
  And you, Sarge, are a tool. I'd hope I can talk football with baseball fans and vice versa. Pretty much every baseball fan I know is also a football fan, and vice versa. This is the baseball subsection of a sports forum, and baseball, basketball and football are widely considered to be under the same umbrella of sports.
  
  Answer:-Yep they are the best team in the bay area, but that is not saying a lot considering the teams in the bay area. I think Stanford may win the Pac-10 but they have to have Oregon to lose again though.

• Question:-bcs???????????
  Ok everyone hates this question about the BS BCS but now who is in it?
  
  Sunday I believe it will be
  Top 3
  
  1. Mizzou/Kansas
  2. WVU
  3. Ohio State
  
  West Virginia has a game against a good uconn team. Ohio State is done. And the winner of the kansas and Mizzou plays Oklahoma. So do you think a possible Ohio State/West Virginia game.
  
  Answer:-It is possible to see a WVU vs OSU, but i dont think it will happen. I dont see the winner of Kansas/Mizzou losing the Big XII game to an over rated Oklahoma team. Hopefully we get a Kansas vs WVU game. I think it would be a great game to see.
• Question:-How many Bowl games do non-bcs teams need to win in order to start getting a chance?
  I want to see interesting match-ups, I want to cheer on the underdog.
  
  But why doesn't the BCS want this to happen?
  
  I think its great when Utah beats Alabama, Boise ST beats Oklahoma.
  
  Now we have TCU demolishing ranked opponents, but they're not taken seriously at all?
  
  The BCS seems to me to be more of a popularity contest than any real system of a teams strength.
  
  Answer:-Non BCS teams will never get a chance in the current system. Overrated conferences like the SEC and Big 10 will always get too many teams represented in the BCS since they only play patsies outside of their own conference and then play it out umongst themselves giving the illusion that a very good record means they are deserving of a high ranking.
  
  Example Ohio State. They did have the guts to sign a big time game out of conference, but they lost, to a sub par USC team. Played out the rest of their schedule verses small schools in Ohio and other Big 10 schools. This allowed them to build a decent record and get a BCS bowl invite by winning a BCS conference, even if it is the Big 10.

• Question:-Why do people complain about BCS during the years when SEC teams win the national championship?
  03, 06, 07, 08....Is it because the BCS national champions for those years had been beaten during the regular season while the other teams that won the BCS title went undefeated?
  
  Answer:-That may be one of the issues but people have complained about the BCS since its inception. They don't like the idea of a computer picking the National Champion. But it's funny that a team can be SEC bound after losing 1 or even 2 games yet it's the most competitive, talented, mythically BETTER conference in the nation. There are a lot of inequities in college football, it'll never be perfect.

• Question:-What is the lowest seed a BCS conference team has gotten in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament?
  My brother and I were debating this. I don't think they can get a seed lower than 13. I remember a couple of years ago Georgia won the SEC tournament and won the automatic bid and were seeded as a 13 seed. Has there ever been a BCS team that has been seeded a 14 or 15?
  
  Answer:-Georgia's #13 was the lowest seed ever from a Major-Conference.
  
  But, there could theoretically be lower seeds.
  
  The conferences are each assigned RPI rankings just like teams are at the end of the regular season based on how their teams fare against other conferences.
  
  If a Power Conference, like say the Pac-10, had a very low conference RPI, and the winner had an average record, like 16-15 or something, they could technically be a 16 seed.
• Question:-What is the worst record team to mke the BCS?
  My friend is saying a 500 team has made a BCS bowl game before, and I am saying they have not. Maybe a 3 or 4 loss team, but not 500. Can anyone recall who has the worst record and still made a BCS game.
  
  Answer:-1993 Texas Tech 6-5 in the bowl alliance lost the Hancock bowl to Oklahoma 41-10
  
  1994 Texas Tech 6-5 lost the Cotton Bowl 55-14 to Southern Cal
  
  The BCS was formerly the Coallition then the Alliance before changing to the BCS in 1998
  
  2005 Florida State 8-4 lost in the Orange Bowl to Penn State 26-23 in 3 OT.
• Question:-Can somebody please explain the conditions of the automatic BCS bowl berth?
  It seems to me that there is a rule if the conference champion does not finish in the top 16, a bowl bid is not guaranteed. Can anybody confirm this or fully explain the process? I am really hoping that the Big Least can be shut out of the BCS bowls this year and a deserving non-BCS conference team gets that bid. Is this possible?
  
  Answer:-win
• Question:-Can the BCS teams no longer rely on an easy win when they play a FCS team?
  After the upset by Appalachian state, are the 1-A schools looking at their "easy wins" with just a little bit of nervousness now?
  
  Is the fact that the BCS (1-A) teams play easy schedules and get invites to bowl games hurting 1-A ball?
  
  Are the 1-AA teams getting better because they actually have to scrap to win their divisions and win real playoff games?
  
  I'd love to see the UMass Minutemen beat BC later this year. As the Minutemen lost to Appalachian State in the championship game last year, that may just be a possibility.
  
  Answer:-Well just look at Bobby Bowden of Florida State said in an interview. He basically said the top tier teams have actually stayed the same when it comes to players and getting recruits but with some many kids out there they can't take them all of offer them scholarships so they jump to another school to start instead of being a backup at his school for 2 or 3 years when they can immediately start somewhere else like in JuCo or other DIV 1A, DIV 1AA, or DIV II schools and still get s great shot at the NFL

  It's much better to be undefeated but any of the BCS conference winners with 1 loss will have a shot at getting into the BCS Championship Game. However, it's a long shot for Oregon.
  
  Oregon is ranked 14th in this weeks Coaches Poll. That puts them behind 3 teams from the Big 12, 2 teams from the Big 10, 2 teams from the ACC, 4 teams from the SEC, and Stanford from the PAC 12.. plus Boise State.
  
  Obviously, the only impact Oregon can have in the rankings of those teams would be beating Stanford.
  
  It's likely that 2 or more of those teams will finish the season undefeated. If that happens, it's highly doubtful that Oregon or any team with 1 loss will be ranked #1 or #2.
  
  And, if all the BCS conference winners have 1 loss, it's unlikely the winner of the PAC 12 will be ranked above SEC, Big 12, or Big 10 conference winners with 1 loss. That's because teams in those conferences are generally considered to have a stronger strength of schedule than Oregon.
  
  So all that Oregon can do is focus on games week to week, beat Stanford, stay undefeated for the remaining games, win the PAC 12 and watch to see what happens with the other conferences.
  
  Since teams in the other conferences play each other, I can see Oregon rising up in the rankings to #4 or #5. But it will be very difficult for the Ducks to get the #1 or #2 spot.
• Question:-What is the lowest seed a BCS conference team has gotten in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament?
  My brother and I were debating this. I don't think they can get a seed lower than 13. I remember a couple of years ago Georgia won the SEC tournament and won the automatic bid and were seeded as a 13 seed. Has there ever been a BCS team that has been seeded a 14 or 15?
  
  Answer:-Georgia's #13 was the lowest seed ever from a Major-Conference.
  
  But, there could theoretically be lower seeds.
  
  The conferences are each assigned RPI rankings just like teams are at the end of the regular season based on how their teams fare against other conferences.
  
  If a Power Conference, like say the Pac-10, had a very low conference RPI, and the winner had an average record, like 16-15 or something, they could technically be a 16 seed.
• Question:-What is the worst record team to mke the BCS?
  My friend is saying a 500 team has made a BCS bowl game before, and I am saying they have not. Maybe a 3 or 4 loss team, but not 500. Can anyone recall who has the worst record and still made a BCS game.
  
  Answer:-1993 Texas Tech 6-5 in the bowl alliance lost the Hancock bowl to Oklahoma 41-10
  
  1994 Texas Tech 6-5 lost the Cotton Bowl 55-14 to Southern Cal
  
  The BCS was formerly the Coallition then the Alliance before changing to the BCS in 1998
  
  2005 Florida State 8-4 lost in the Orange Bowl to Penn State 26-23 in 3 OT.
• Question:-Can somebody please explain the conditions of the automatic BCS bowl berth?
  It seems to me that there is a rule if the conference champion does not finish in the top 16, a bowl bid is not guaranteed. Can anybody confirm this or fully explain the process? I am really hoping that the Big Least can be shut out of the BCS bowls this year and a deserving non-BCS conference team gets that bid. Is this possible?
  
  Answer:-win
• Question:-Can the BCS teams no longer rely on an easy win when they play a FCS team?
  After the upset by Appalachian state, are the 1-A schools looking at their "easy wins" with just a little bit of nervousness now?
  
  Is the fact that the BCS (1-A) teams play easy schedules and get invites to bowl games hurting 1-A ball?
  
  Are the 1-AA teams getting better because they actually have to scrap to win their divisions and win real playoff games?
  
  I'd love to see the UMass Minutemen beat BC later this year. As the Minutemen lost to Appalachian State in the championship game last year, that may just be a possibility.
  
  Answer:-Well just look at Bobby Bowden of Florida State said in an interview. He basically said the top tier teams have actually stayed the same when it comes to players and getting recruits but with some many kids out there they can't take them all of offer them scholarships so they jump to another school to start instead of being a backup at his school for 2 or 3 years when they can immediately start somewhere else like in JuCo or other DIV 1A, DIV 1AA, or DIV II schools and still get s great shot at the NFL
• Question:-How much is my Fossil BCS 2009 Oklahoma Championship watch worth?
  I ordered a BCS Championship watch from Fossil from last years game and instead of it stating Florida is the champion, it shows Oklahoma as the champion. It was even sent in a Florida BCS Champion tin. Obviously it was sent in mistake. Fossil is begging me for the watch back, probably due to embarassment. How much would a watch like this be worth?
  
  Answer:-Being that it never happened its worthless!

• Question:-bcs???????????
  Ok everyone hates this question about the BS BCS but now who is in it?
  
  Sunday I believe it will be
  Top 3
  
  1. Mizzou/Kansas
  2. WVU
  3. Ohio State
  
  West Virginia has a game against a good uconn team. Ohio State is done. And the winner of the kansas and Mizzou plays Oklahoma. So do you think a possible Ohio State/West Virginia game.
  
  Answer:-It is possible to see a WVU vs OSU, but i dont think it will happen. I dont see the winner of Kansas/Mizzou losing the Big XII game to an over rated Oklahoma team. Hopefully we get a Kansas vs WVU game. I think it would be a great game to see.
• Question:-How many Bowl games do non-bcs teams need to win in order to start getting a chance?
  I want to see interesting match-ups, I want to cheer on the underdog.
  
  But why doesn't the BCS want this to happen?
  
  I think its great when Utah beats Alabama, Boise ST beats Oklahoma.
  
  Now we have TCU demolishing ranked opponents, but they're not taken seriously at all?
  
  The BCS seems to me to be more of a popularity contest than any real system of a teams strength.
  
  Answer:-Non BCS teams will never get a chance in the current system. Overrated conferences like the SEC and Big 10 will always get too many teams represented in the BCS since they only play patsies outside of their own conference and then play it out umongst themselves giving the illusion that a very good record means they are deserving of a high ranking.
  
  Example Ohio State. They did have the guts to sign a big time game out of conference, but they lost, to a sub par USC team. Played out the rest of their schedule verses small schools in Ohio and other Big 10 schools. This allowed them to build a decent record and get a BCS bowl invite by winning a BCS conference, even if it is the Big 10.
• Question:-How are BCS bowls chosen? Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  Is it based upon the BCS polls rankings and the Top 10 teams on that list?
  
  Answer:-Once the final BCS rankings are released -- which this year is 12/2 -- the national championship game will take the teams that finish ranked #1 and #2.
  
  Then, the other four BCS bowls -- Rose, Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar -- select the remaining teams. However, you don't have to be in the top 10 to be selected. (For instance, a conference can send a maximum of two teams to BCS games, so if they have 3 teams in the top 10, they can't all go).
  
  The bowls have conference tie-ins as well, so if Ohio State does not make the championship game, they will go to the Rose Bowl.

• Question:-Why do people complain about BCS during the years when SEC teams win the national championship?
  03, 06, 07, 08....Is it because the BCS national champions for those years had been beaten during the regular season while the other teams that won the BCS title went undefeated?
  
  Answer:-That may be one of the issues but people have complained about the BCS since its inception. They don't like the idea of a computer picking the National Champion. But it's funny that a team can be SEC bound after losing 1 or even 2 games yet it's the most competitive, talented, mythically BETTER conference in the nation. There are a lot of inequities in college football, it'll never be perfect.
• Question:-Is the BCS computer rankings projections different from the Preseason rankings in college football?
  For the BCS bowl rankings projection, I am just curious on the ranking difference from the BCS compared with the Preseason rankings. Would they correspond exactly by points? Or would they differ initially? My main point behind this is to wonder since after #3 Oregon lost to #4 LSU, would Oregon still have a chance to go to the BCS National Championship if they lost the home opener but win the rest of the games?
  
  Answer:-The BCS rankings are released starting in mid October. The calculation for the rankings has 3 parts, 2 opinion polls and a computer ranking system. The polls used are the USA Today/Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll. The computer 1/3 of the BCS is an average of 6 separate computer rankings.
  
  The USA Today/Coaches Poll releases a preseason ranking and then every week after the season starts. The first Harris Poll is released when the same day the first overall BCS rankings are published.
