Need help to win conference

[Bulls 1]

As I understand it, if two or three team are tied for the conference lead at the end of the year.  The team ranked highest in the BCS standings will represent the Big East in the BCS bowl.  At this point West Virginia is ranked higher and they would receive the bid if we both win out.  Is this correct??

CONFERENCE CHAMPION & TIEBREAKER PROCEDURES

SEASON CHAMPION

The BIG EAST Champion is the team that finishes the regular season with the

highest winning percentage in conference games. If more than one team has the

same winning percentage, the tied teams are declared co-champions.

PROBATION:

A team on NCAA or Conference Probation, which includes a ban on bowl

participation, is not eligible for the Conference Championship.

BOWL CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES REPRESENTATIVE TIEBREAKER

PROCEDURE

In order to determine the Conference’s representative to the Bowl Championship

Series, the procedures listed below will be followed.

All references to “rankings†refer to the BCS Poll released after the regular season is

completed for all BIG EAST members.

TWO-WAY TIE

The winner of the head to head match-up will represent the BIG EAST in the

Bowl Championship Series

THREE-WAY TIE

A “MINI-CONFERENCE†IS CREATED AMONGST THE THREE TIED

TEAMS

Scenario I:

All three teams have either a 6-1 or 5-2 record and have each won one and

lost one against the other tied teams in the mini-conference. In this case, the

highest ranked team amongst the three earns the bid. If two of the three

teams are tied for the highest ranking, the bid is earned by the team winning

the head-to-head match up.

Scenario II:

All three teams have 5-2 records, and within the mini-conference, Team A is

2-0, Team B is 1-1, and Team C is 0-2. Team A earns bid regardless of

ranking.

FOUR-WAY TIE

A “MINI-CONFERENCE†IS CREATED AMONGST THE FOUR TIED

TEAMS

Scenario I:

In the mini-conference, Teams A & B are 2-1, and Teams C & D are 1-2.

The higher ranked of the 2-1 teams earns the bid. If the 2-1 teams tie for the

highest ranking, the bid goes to the team that won the head-to-head match

up.

Scenario II:

In the mini-conference, Team A is 3-0, Team B is 2-1, Team C is 1-2, and

Team D is 0-3. Team A earns bid regardless of ranking.

I think the rankings ONLY COME INTO PLAY when a winner can't be selected based on the head-to-head match ups.

TWO-WAY TIE

The winner of the head to head match-up will represent the BIG EAST in the

Bowl Championship Series

We have the tie-breaker with WVU, but Rutgers has the tie-breaker with us.  We still need help.  We need to win all of our games, and Rutgers needs to lose one.

First Tie-breaker is head to head.

So basically root for WVU Saturday and obviously we need to win out...

[Bullschmutz]

Yeah, if WVU beats Slutgers, we control our own destiny.

If WVU doesn't beat Rutgers, I don't know who will  :-\

[hightechbull]

Do the math.  It is impossible to have three 6-1 teams.  Two 6-1 teams is possible.

All we need is to win the rest of our games, and hope that WVU beats Rutgers.  If we win the rest of our games and Rutgers beats WVU and wins the rest their games, then Rutgers will get the BIG EAST crown.

[DouBULL]

Hey Rutgar's fans....with all of the emotion that you guys spent on us last thursday it would be a shame if that caused you to have a let-down game against WVU  ;D

[theman123]

WVU beats rutgers.

we win out

were in.

[alau255]

Rutgers will lose at least twice

[BULLfreak]

I liike to think of it like this WIN THE NEXT GAME AND THEN MOVE ON LET EVERYTHING ELSE WORK OUT
