I never thought in my lifetime (maybe wishful thinking) that the outcome of the Big 10 Championship game would impact us - if we go to the HOD Bowl. If the Big 10 has 2 BCS Teams (Ohio State the BCS Championship and Michigan State in the Rose Bowl), the conference would not be able to meet its bowl requirements, meaning the bowl would then have to offer to an at-large team from another conference. If they have just one team, then Michigan is the most likely opponent.

Who are you routing for???

They are gonna have two in the BCS games no matter what. If OSU wins, they go to the national championship game and MSU goes to the Rose Bowl. If MSU wins, they go to the Rose Bowl and Ohio State goes to the Orange or Sugar...

What if Northern Illinois creeps into the top 12 in the rankings? Does that throw a wrench in the scenario above?

That would be hard to envision, but possibly if Ohio State wins, another team could knock Michigan State out of the Rose Bowl.

As far as who we root for, I don't know that we need to. Odds are that we'll get a quality opponent however it shakes out.

I too want OSY to lose but only so that Auburn (member of the nation's strongest conference) can play in the title game. Also, don't feel like watching another Big 10 team get blown out.

Who do you want to win the BCS title? I, for one, would like to see FSU win it just because I tire of the SEC run.

If Ohio St beats Mich. St. i Don't think the Rose Bowl is required to take another Big 10 team

and a loss by Michigan St. would probably knock them down to #13 or #14 in the BCS rankings

don't forget... provided that NIU wins their championship game, they are guaranteed a spot in teh BCS somewhere

I don't think so. I think NIU can get into a BCS game ONLY IF they wind up in the top 12 of the BCS standings.

The Rose Bowl wants a Big 10 team every time, no questions asked. The question is, Will they be forced by the BCS to take an at-large, non Big 10 team?

here it is

  • The highest-ranked champion of a non-AQ conference will receive an automatic berth if:
    • It is ranked in the top 12, or
    • Ranked in the top 16 and higher than at least one AQ conference champion.

so... how far down is the AAC champ?

UCF is 18 I think.

      Lambert? You mean that guy left his park ranger job to get back into the game? You better call Eric Morris. We are going to need his toughness on defense at LB.

      This may be why he is in the portal. Maybe he was encouraged to enter the portal to open up a spot for a better player.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.
