3) Games involving Notre Dame and Navy, because of their ties to Big East bowl games.

---

4) Games involving teams two ranked teams and at least one of the teams is ranked higher than the 2nd highest Big East team.

If the highest and 2nd highest teams can move up and up the polls, then there is at least a chance that 2 Big East teams could make the 10 BCS slots.  Big East ranks: #4 West Virginia; #8 Louisville.

Sat 10/07 - #7 Texas (4-1, 1-0) @ #14 Oklahoma (3-1, 0-0) - 3:30pm [ABC]

---

5) Games involving a Top 15 non-BCS team, or a non-BCS team ranked higher than any BCS conference's highest ranked team.

If no teams from the non-BCS conferences make the BCS, then that would mean 4 at-large slots in the 5 BCS bowls.  This increases the chances for 2 Big East teams to be selected.

NONE -- Highest ranked non-BCS team is #20 Boise State; Lowest rank of a conference-leading team is # 15 Clemson (ACC).

BIG QUESTION:  with navy beating air force this year, a team that I thought was generally better than navy in recent years, is there a chance that navy gets a bowl bid better than the MCCB?

[E.T.]

Sweep by the Big East ?
