3) Games involving Notre Dame because of its ties to Big East bowl games.

SAT 10/06 - Notre Dame 20  (1-5) at #30 UCLA 6  (4-2, 3-1)

NOTE: With the next two games for Notre Dame - vs Boston College, vs USC - chances are Notre Dame will not be bowl eligible.  Once Notre Dame is not eligible, we won't need to watch their games.

---

4) Games involving at least one team 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: #6 USF, #13 West Virginia

THU 10/04 - #8 Kentucky 23  (5-1, 1-1) at #11 South Carolina 38  (5-1, 3-1)

SAT 10/06 - #5 Wisconsin 26  (5-1, 2-1) at #28 Illinois 31  (5-1, 3-0)

SAT 10/06 - Stanford 24  (2-3, 1-3) at #2 Southern California 23  (4-1, 2-1)

---

5) Games involving a Top 12 non-BCS team, or a Top 16 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.

No Mid-Major Team is ranked in the Top 12 or ahead of the lowest BCS conference leader (#7 Kentucky).  Highest ranked non-BCS team: #16 Hawaii

SUN 10/07 - Utah State 37  (0-6, 0-2) at #16 Hawaii 52  (6-0, 3-0)
