If WVU goes to NT game, does Big East get another BCS slot?

[RespectaBULL]

So, WVU has a very big opportunity to go to the NT game this year.  Mizzou vs Kansas, then winner vs Oklahoma.  There is a major possibility that Kansas or Mizzou lose to Oklahoma which should seal WVU in the spot of #2 in BCS and a NT game.

My question is: if this happens, does the Big East get another team in a BCS bowl?  That would be very nice to have, but I am afraid none of the other Big East teams will have a good enough ranking.      So I ask you bowl experts, what is the outcome?

Not automatically.  If someone gets into the top 14 they can be invited (as they could if WVU takes BE auto bid)

No.  For that to happen another Big East team will have to be in the Top 14 of the BCS standings.

The four At-Large slots will go to the SEC, Pac 10, Big 12, and either Hawaii or the ACC.

no other big team would be worthy

F-ing BS, we should be in that position this year.  Or Uconn for that matter if they didn't lose to Virginia.  grrr

I tend to doubt that will happen but with the way this season is going-- who knows.

I'd give it about a 10% chance of happening

One other scenario you guys aren't thinking about.  If Conn beats wvu, they get auto bid, and I give wvu a 30-40% chance of getting at large bid if that happens.

Not that it is going to happen, wvu is going to win big.  I am totally unimpressed with Uconn.  It took a sloppy field, turnovers, penalties and stupid mistakes by us and we were still within 1 yard of OT.  We outgained them by a huge margin, but handed them the game.  They are not that good, but very opportunistic/well coached.
