OK, don't take this personally, please. Your post is making a point that has nothing to do with the likelihood of playing Louisville in a BCS bowl. I get that.
That being said... ain't gonna happen.
The Big 10 is not gonna get a 2nd BCS team this year. Notwithstanding all the talk about the national perception of the conference not mattering; this is one very real upshot of our sullied collective reputation. And it's going to cost the conference millions.
So the Big 10 champ, being the only BCS participant, plays either in the Rose Bowl or in the National Championship game.
If the Rose Bowl loses USC to the NC game, they will have first (or second) choice for a replacement. They won't choose Louisville. (probably 2nd place pac 10 team)
And we all know the likely hood of Louisville making it to the NC game.
*non sequitur alert*
On Topic: I think Robo has a very good chance at one if not both of the receiving records. I seriously doubt that Beanie will get enough carries to threaten Eddie's rushing record.
