NO. Not correct. Only a #3 or #4 spot would guarantee us an at large BCS spot this year, and #4 is a guarantee only if the #3 spot is a conference champion.
That #6 thing is for non-BCS conference teams, like Utah last year. The #6 spot doesn't guarantee any of the BCS contenders anything this year.

No. Auto bid for BCS conference team (that is not conf. champ) is 4 or higher. Top 6 clause is for independents (ND) or non-BCS conf. teams.

The damn tax code is easier to decipher than the BCS formula...

Well wouldnt it work out like this:
USC, Texas, Miami - wouldnt need an at large since they will get a conference bid? And if PSU beats Mich St. that as well frees up another at large bid inside the top 10? The better they do, the more chances we will get a bid because there will be more available.
Also: Today on Cold Pizza, Pat Forde was projecting OSU at #9 with ND ahead of us at #6 (assuming when its all finalized in about 2 weeks). Skip Bayless and Woody argued about the 2 loss teams - us and ND. Woody sided with ND stating that they will without a doubt get a bid because they had a fluke last play against USC and the Mich St. game went to overtime. Skippy sided with us stating that the only reason we lost the Texas game "was because Jim Tressel decided to put Jason Zwick back in the game." |
