They have won their last three BCS games, IIRC.
If anyone is unworthy of the auto invite, it's the Always Crappy Conference, with the BCS game success above only Notre Dame.
Besides, you're still bitter that West Virginia destroyed Oklahoma after you put your foot in your mouth.
The ACC- We're as good in BCS game as Notre Dame!
You could not be more wrong. I didn't care whether Oklahoma won or lost their bowl game. I stated an opinion that Oklahoma would beat WVA. Oklahoma decided to mail in their effort and lost, Big whoop! means nothing whether they won or lost.
That's what the BCS system has wrought. I care about 2 Bowl Games the entire Bowl Season. The Bowl Game that Tennessee plays in and the BCS Championship Game. All the rest could fall off the face of the earth and wouldn't bother me one iota.
My main point is that the Big Least is a mid major conference, when judging by facilities and talent levels. They don't deserve to be automatically included in the BCS system. That they are is worthy of "high praise" for Mike Tranghese.
He's the sole reason the Big East is still included in the BCS. He's a skilled leader that has been a huge plus for NCAA athletics over the years. His leadership, his accomplishments and the respect and esteem he's accorded from his peers, is the single reason the Big East is still involved in the flawed BCS system.
It will be interesting to see where the Big East lands after the next BCS TV contract has expired. Tranghese will be retired and my guess is that the PTB will rightly slot the Big Least correctly as a mid major.
Here's are the contenders for the BCS Championship this season Sabres
Not just this season but any season.
SEC Champ(no matter who it is)
USC from the PAC 10 with 0-1 loss
Any other team from the PAC 10 that could run the gauntlet undefeated(highly unlikely)
Oklahoma,Texas or Missouri from the Big 12 if things fall right with an undefeated season or no unbeaten teams elsewhere.
Ohio State from the Big 10 with 0-1 loss unless anothe Big 10 team goes unbeaten(again highly unlikely)
Any ACC team that goes unbeaten/again highly unlikely.
Notre Dame with a 0-1 loss season(unlikely)
Everybody else is a pretender.
