If Rutgers Wins out

[Bullsayer]

and is the only remaining undefeated Big East team then they go to the BCS Bowl. How does this scenario affect the Bowls?

I dunno if Rutgers would be in the National Title game, SOS will not work in their favor at all.

I don't think Rutgers will be Louisville either.

I think it goes back to the old time rule that any team that loses to rutgers should not...

I think it goes to the total difference in points... PF - PA. Who ever wins by the biggest margin. At least that is my theory.

Highest ranked of the three goes.

Rutgers can't go to the NC game.  They are at 15 and do not have enough time to make that kind of jump.  They would have needed to start at 8 or 9 in the initial BCS ranking to have any chance of jumping that many teams.  The perception that the BE is weak, does not help.  WVU will fall to about 10 and Lousiville will only move to 4 (if at all), depending on who wins this weekend.

Sorry to say that  in my opinion, last night's game did not help the BE from a quality of play perspective.  The play did not indicate well-coached teams.

6 fumbles       (5 WVU 1 Lv)

22 penalties  (14 WVU 8 Lv)

1000 yards of Offense (541 WVU Lv 467)

Those numbers does not indicate good football teams or top level coaching.  It indicates weak schedules.   A clean 24-21 game would have done the conferene better.

tell me, what would think of the level of play in a game producing the following numbers.....

5 fumbles

1130 yards

60 first downs

79 combined points

200 yards rushing by a QB in a "gimmick" spread offense relying heavily on a finesse/zone read running game.

in case you were wondering that game was played january 4, 2006 between texas and usc.
