At 11-1, would USF be worthy of a BCS bowl?

At 11-1, would USF be worthy of a BCS bowl or any other BE team besides UL or WVU?  Note the loss would be to the BE first place team.  I don't think so.  It is my opinion that for the league's national perception of strength/power, the conference standing should look like the following by seasons end.

1.  WVU or UL - 12-0/7-0

2.  WVU or UL - 11-1/6-1

3.  Pitt - 10-2/5-2

IMO Pitt at third gives the BE more national strength exposure than our Bulls due to there NC back in the 70's.

4.  Rest of BE- 8-4/4-3  I'd expect the Bulls to be here.

5.  Rest of BE

6.  Rest of BE

7.  Rest of BE

Doug, do we really have to post threads like this?

We haven't started the season...we haven't named a QB...our starting RB has yet to play a down of NCAA football...Our best Olineman is not assured of playing...and we're starting a whole new slew of WRs.

Threads like this aren't really needed until when/if we're 10-0 going into UL and WVU. All it does is give fuel to guys like Smazza to come in an rip the program.

Doug good question!   I'd say "no"... the Big east will only ever have 1 bcs team at a time.

From an objective perspective, I would probably agree.  A 12-0 WVU team would be in the hunt for the national championship - especially starting the year at #7 in the Coaches poll.  (Use the Coaches' poll because AP is not part of the BCS).

It is also possible that an 11-1 Louisville could finish the year in the Top 10 and might be a pick for a 2nd BCS bowl.  That is a stretch and would take a lot of help... but it's "possible".

As for Pittsburgh, I am not 100% sure.  They were roundly criticized in the 2004 season when they lost to Utah in the Fiesta Bowl.  A 3rd place Pitt or USF would be about equal right now.

You know Joe, I don't havta post here at all brother Bull.   All I will say is "if you don't like what's on the radio/TV, turn the station."  I'm glad you are so grounded and have a criteria for what topics can be posted per the calender date but I thought it was a relevent question since the media is touting UL & WVU as the only teams with any strength in the BE.  And I haven't started a topic in a while and felt like doing so.  Next time I'll try & do better.  Could you do me a favor Joe...post the rules for posting criteria by date so I'll know the precise rules.  Oh and Joe, next time if you don't like the **** topic/post/poll, don't click or post to it.  That's what I'd do.

Maybe we can convince the Bulls to throw the game.....

LOL!  7-5 if we're lucky.  Joe does make some good points. We'll have our first loss by the 4th game.
