[Jewbull]

I know its still early, but Cincy beatin up on UCONN,  now what?

i think this means we're back in the national championship conversation.

It's not good... to get a better bowl we want two Big East teams to have a BCS bid (i.e. WV to the national championship game and UConn to the Orange bowl).

I could be entirely wrong... but I'm sure that is the best scenario we want. UConn losing does not help.

Yeah, with Cincy's D, that game is over.  So much for the two-BCS scenario

The UC/WV game is going to be a big game. If UC beats WV then they would move up in the rankings having beat two top 15 teams in a row. Couldn't UC get selected for a BCS game?

[Cubanbull]

Forget about BE getting two teams in BCS, our best bet is for WV to beat both UConn and Cincy.

Since both UConn and Cincy also play Syracuse chances are that they would win.

USF NEEDS to WIN against UL and Pitt.

That would leave

WV 11-1 (6-1) BCS Bowl

UConn 9-3 (5-2)

Cincy 9-3 (4-3)

USF 9-3 (4-3)

The Sun Bowl chooses 2nd and they have enough local support that they can choose the highet ranked team, so USF has a shot at it.

But we could end up in Meineke or papajohns.

I say if it ends like that and we are the highest ranked team of the three we end up in Sun or Meineke.

[SANJAY]

From a selfish standpoint I would prefer Meineke to Sun.  Easier to get to and less expensive.

UConn is going to finish 9-3 at best, under this scenario, with 3 teams at 9-3, we would probably be ranked higher than Uconn, so we might get Meineke or Sun...we must win against UL and Pitt...

[BullDoug]

Gotta beat UL to be fifth bowl team in the BE.  I'd actually prefer to have a bowl from another con. that doesn't have enuff bowl eligible teams.
