| #2 Posted on 17.11.02 2259.04 | Question: Do teams who go to the SEC and Big 12 Championship games but lose get the #2 spot automatically?

| #3 Posted on 17.11.02 2308.13 | I think that sounds about right.
Also, California's on probation, so they're not bowl-eligible anyway.

| #4 Posted on 19.11.02 1101.38 | The Bowl selection and watching Nebraska lose are my favorite things about the college football season.
and where you finish in the conference doesn't neccesarily determine where you play - it just means that the Bowl gets that # choice. A bowl could pick a team that finished lower in the conference but is a better fit geographically. It's all about the $$$'s

| #5 Posted on 19.11.02 1133.17 | If you actually go by conference standings at this point, Pitt would be Big East #1, with a better overall conference record. All I'm asking for this weekend is 3 of the 4 from Washington, Pitt, Texas Tech, and Michigan to pull upsets. The 1977 back from the dead theory might actually work.
I want you to know, I agree with everything I've just said. | HitTheSnoozeButton

Pitt 27 Miami 24

| #8 Posted on 22.11.02 2028.02 | In the case of teams having higher conference rankings (just based on playing more games,) I put the higher-ranked team there. Example is Ohio State - they're still a half-game back of Iowa but ranked #2 in the nation and BCS. Same with Miami before yesterday. Next week should clear it a lot more.
