  1. I guess you guys are right. I can't find anything to back up the BCS ranking only. I thought there was some rule about taking another team from the conference if they are BCS ranked at least 5 places higher than the conference champion. Oh well.
  2. I believe for the BCS bid, they only use BCS rankings even for 2 teams.  There is no tie breaker.  For example, they would want to pick a 10-1 team ranked 7th in the BCS over the 6-5 conference champion probably not appearing in the BCS top 20.
  3. Interesting that UCF got 1 25th place vote in the Harris poll and USF does not appear. That poll has had some bizarre issues and it counts 1/3 toward the BCS rankings.
  4. RTB, I agree. I have posted before that it's great to get on a major station, but losing the extra hour of post-game talk and the call-in show sucks.
  5. by a larger margin than USF. This along with PSU winning big and the UL win will really help our SOS and ratings. It's great to be a Bull. Now what do we need to do to get the Syracuse game on TV somehow?
  6. Brad - there is no "technically" about it. Bulls are in 2nd place in the Big East. Who'd of thunk it a year ago?
  7. the play calling is awful - I guess we are trying not show anything creative to WVU
  8. Last week really affected the Miami average.
  9. Well, he did send those 2 hurricanes our way to disrupt the schedule 2 years in a row - just not on our side. Besides, he has his hands full tomorrow with Notre Dame - not sure he's gonna spend a whole lot of time on PJ.
  10. Unfortunately, I think on paper UCF would be the logical choice here. But I really like the idea of Toledo. Definitely the best choice out of the MAC. A competitive sports program, urban/BE type campus, mid size tv market with much overlap of stations/signals with Detroit.
  11. I don't think there is a need for a name change, but if it was forced on us, I kind of like UTB.
  12. That UConn number looks suspect. Do they have EXACTLY 40,000 seats and every game has been a sell out?
  13. Thanks Jim - got it. I know what ESPN Regional is but listings I looked at did not have the game listed as ESPN Regional - only as game plan. If the BE game of the week is always made available to ESPN Regional and the local markets that want to carry it, then it makes sense for exposure of BE schools. Never Mind!
  14. If there are no cameras at the game (local Syracuse TV, ESPN 360, etc.), then no bar nor the dome has any feed to pick up even if they want to work out some arrangement. No cameras = No video. I guess we could all go to the dome, drink beer and listen to the radio on some amazing sound system. The Sun Dolls could act out the plays - kind of like live instant reply.
  15. Since "bowl eligibility" rules have been in place, I don't think there has ever been a bowl eligible team from a BCS conference that did not get a bid. Am I way off here?
  16. I kind of disagree. Every year there are only 2-4 teams that are bowl eligible and don't get a bid. I would think being bowl eligible and in the BE would help emensely with this over schools with 6-5 records from non-BCS conferences, especially the SunBelt, WAC and MAC.
  17. What is the point of being the "game of the week" if it is not available nationally on a non-pay network? To just pick a game to be at noon for game plan only is stupid IMO. That doesn't get you better ratings or exposure and kills the local crowd in markets like Tampa where casual fans have other things to do on Saturday at noon. I guess it doesn't matter in college towns where the game is the ONLY thing to do on Saturday - the BE is not in those markets.
  18. Why is the Cincy game at noon if it is only on game plan nationally? Why is this not a night game?
  19. Harmon has it Rutgers 20-17. Sagarin has it USF -1.
  20. Thanks Vicki - please post again as soon as the conference confirms tomorrow.
  21. Once again we didn't play and moved from #39 to #34. UL #23 and WVU #24. I guess he puts a lot of stock in not losing on any given weekend.
  22. So do we know if the Soccer game will be on Saturday or Sunday and the time?
