Meccariello, how much do you sleep in a typical 24 hour period?

Not as much of a stretch as you think...

USF would have to get to 14 in order to have a chance of going to a BCS bowl.  Why, you ask?  Because Illinois is "in the clubhouse" and they're sitting at #15.  LSU and Tennessee play each other on Saturday, meaning that the Illini will be in the top 14 next week.  The BCS has to choose from among the top 14 unless there aren't enough options available to fill their bowls.  Then and only then would they open it up to 18. 

We already know that West Virginia and Ohio State are going to BCS bowls.  That leaves 8 more slots.  The winner of LSU/Tennessee will go, the winner of Virginia Tech/Boston College will go, the winner of Missouri/Oklahoma will go, and the winner of the Pac-10 will go (too many options to list).  That leaves at-large slots, with the proviso that no more than 2 teams from any one conference can go, and that the top non-BCS team must be selected if they're in the top 12 (unlikely any winner would drop below 16, which opens other options).  So, the four at-large teams will likely be:

Georgia (regular season over, sitting at #4 in the BCS)

Kansas (regular season over, sitting at #5 in the BCS)

Hawaii (#12 in BCS, home game vs. Washington where they're heavily favored)

That leaves one more at-large option.  Right now, both USC and Arizona State are BCS eligible, and both are favored in their final games, which would likely put the Sun Devils in the Fiesta Bowl (think that would sell?).  If Arizona were to pull the upset, it would help Illinois to move into the top 14, meaning they would have to be selected for a BCS bowl.  Regardless, there doesn't appear to be a way where the BCS would need to open their options to drop to 18.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    "For me, I never considered it that way (as a stepping stone), honestly. When I was offered the head job at South Florida, and I'm sincere about this, I never thought I would ever go anywhere."
