FBC Week 15: Championship Week (and the Big East and Sun Belt play)

Both Boise (9) and Ball State (12) are ahead of Big East champion Cincinnati (13).

 

I wonder if you have to be in the top eight AND finish ahead of a BCS conference champ? And I'm guessing there's a limit to how many non-BCS schools can play, probably two.

 

Plenty of room on the Hawaii bandwagon this week, mid-major fans.

Army-Navy: What happens to the CIC Trophy if Army wins and the service academies are all 1-1 vs. each other? Does it go to the BCS rankings?

 

According to Graham Watson at ESPN, Swofford is holding a presser on Wednesday where they're going to discuss the teams still eligible for BCS consideration. Since there's never been three non-BCS undefeated, she basically says the organization might have to change the rules on the fly.
Doesn't sound good for Ball State, and maybe not for Boise State either.

 

Oklahoma- 45
Missouri- 21

Florida- 35
Alabama- 14

 

Top 16 and ahead of a BCS conference champ makes you eligible to chosen. Boise will not be picked. There is not a snowball's chance in hell of the Broncos getting picked ahead of Ohio State. The BCS can claim all they want that they'd take more than one non-BCS school, but they're lying like dogs. Even my freaking cats can see that.

Boise's probably headed to the Poinsetta Bowl for a matchup with TCU or BYU, which will be a vastly superior game to whichever BCS game winds up with the Big East champion.

 

You need to add about four touchdowns in the Mizzou/Okie game. Like 66-28.

 

The lowest rated service academy gets disqualified and it comes down to head-to-head with the other two.

 

If I had my way with the way this season has gone, I'd go 1 vs. 2, Big East vs. ACC, SEC No.2 vs. Big 12 No.2, Pac-10 vs. Big Ten and WAC vs. MWC.

I think that would produce five good, entertaining games. But it won't happen.

 

I have no desire to see the WAC and the MWC teams meet. They've worked their asses off. They deserve the chance to knock off a BCS team, just like Utah and Boise State did the last time they made the BCS.

 

Makes sense to me! Oh wait...

Actually, it stays with the school that had it before. You have to beat both if you want to take it away from another school. So it's Navy's no matter what happens Saturday.

 

Kind of what I was thinking. Stoops probably wouldn't mind Missouri punching in 35 -- certainly a possibility -- because it gives him an excuse to get up around 60 or 70.
Either way, I see OU winning by somewhere between 2-4 TDs.
