A fascinating scenario for the BCS bowls

[GarySJ]

Assuming we have Oklahoma-USC for the national title in the Sugar Bowl, and that TCU makes it somehow, the five other $12,000,000 BCS bowl slots could go to teams with a grand total of 14 losses:

West Virginia will have 4 losses if they win the Big East outright. Pitt need only beat Miami, with WVU winning out. Whoever wins the Big East will have at least two losses.

Texas could get an automatic BCS invite if they finish #4. They will be 10-2 assuming they beat A&M.

The SEC champ, if it's anyone other than LSU (and possibly even if it is LSU), will have at least two losses. Ole Miss could have three.

Florida State will have three losses if they don't beat the Gators.

If Michigan beats Ohio State, they will be the Big Ten champ with two losses.

That doesn't seem all that different than previous years though, does it?

Usually there are more 1-loss teams, and very few if any 3-loss teams. You usually don't see so many multi-game losers in the really BIG bowls, last year's FSU team aside.
