Report: Big East could have a spot at the new postseason table (sort of)

Posted by Ben Kercheval on September 21, 2012, 8:33 PM EDT

Yesterday morning, John noted that a seventh bowl game was possibly going to be added to the rotating playoff site mix. As it turns out, that extra spot — again, provided that little detail comes to fruition — could benefit the Big East.

According to longtime sports writer Mark Blaudschun, the seventh bowl would offer a guaranteed spot to the highest remaining ranked team available. Given that the Big East will have the likes of Boise State, Houston, Central Florida, Louisville, Cincinnati and other BCS busters, there’s a good chance that spot could go to the Big East more often than not. Here’s what Blaudschun writes:

A a 7th bowl will be part of the group, offering a guaranteed spot to the highest ranked team available.

While there will be guaranteed spots for the conference champions from the ACC, Big 12, SEC, Pac-12 and Big Ten,, the other conferences, including the Big East, will also have a guaranteed slot for the highest ranked team from that group.

Granted, it’s not a guarantee that the Big East will be the representing conference in a seventh bowl game (if there is one); it only guarantees a spot for the highest-ranked team available. Reportedly.

The concern for the Big East moving forward was that it would be left out of college football’s new postseason since it’s been stripped of practically all its cornerstone programs over the past decade. The Orange Bowl has reportedly opted to look into matchups between the ACC and either Notre Dame, the Big Ten or the SEC. That seemed like potentially devastating news for the Big East at the time. However, if there’s a seventh bowl game added to the playoff rotation and Blaudschun’s report is accurate, the Big East may not be left out of the cold entirely.

Really what the move would do is allow a mid-major Cinderella to play in a high-profile game while pretty much guaranteeing the representative isn’t a 2010 UConn (which went 8-4 that season).

Louisville and Cincinnati are BCS, and only Boise State of the other three has been to a BCS bowl game. Not sure why the author lumped UCF and Houston, of all the options, in there, but they certainly are in no way "BCS busters."

Though, at least Houston has beaten BCS teams with a winning record. So I guess they could be considered BCS busters in that they have been, at times, a threat to beat other potentially BCS bowl-bound teams. UCF ... not so much.

Kind of hard to to take a report seriously that has that in it ...

The report may not be well written but comes from a reliable honest media member.

Calling those teams BCS busters, save Boise State, is far from reliable ... One can still be honest, yet clueless.

Houston almost made a BCS game last year till a loss in its Championship game, and in 2014 Cincy, UL, USF, UCF would be "BCS" busters because they would not be AQ schools, again the article is not well written for its content, but is ment for two year outlook, which gives a 7th BCS game and thus a BE possible tie in like Aresco wants.

Ben is WVU tied and tied with PFT with Florio, again why a lot of info was coming out.

I also saw that ESPN/BE deal is -~$200 mil a year right now as max, however that breaks down per school.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
