Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 With the predicted VT win... Orange: VT Chick-Fil-A: Clemson Champs: FSU Sun: GT Belk: NCST Music City: UVA Independence: Wake Military: UNC If Clemson wins, probably just switch VT/Clemson. However, there's the slimmest of chances the ACC could send 2 teams to the BCS, particularly if OSU beats OU again. If so, that throws lots of things into flux.

VT winning could push Clemson out of the Peach though. Per the AJC, they don't want to pick a team that lost 4 of the last 5, especially if they pick Auburn which it looks like they are leaning that way. It will be FSU vs Auburn or Clemson vs Florida, I think FSU is a more likely pick if VT wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I'm hopeful that UVA could vault up, but I'm not banking on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) If Clemson wins, probably just switch VT/Clemson. However, there's the slimmest of chances the ACC could send 2 teams to the BCS, particularly if OSU beats OU again. If so, that throws lots of things into flux. After reading the bowls' twitter feeds, Champs Sports has UVA as its #3 team following Clemson and FSU in that order. They said it, not me. FSU played in the Peach last year, and UVA beat FSU this year. Would the Peach take UVA over FSU? It's an interesting discussion. If Clemson pulled a miracle and shocked VT like in Blacksburg, Clemson goes to the Orange Bowl. There are six conferences with automatic tie-ins to the BCS. Three of the "at-larges" would be Alabama, Stanford, and Houston (assuming conference title win). That leaves 3 potential candidates for the Fiesta: VT, OSU/OU, Michigan/Michigan State/Wisconsin. If OSU beats OU, a 3-loss OU is done. If OU beats OSU, OSU likely stays over a losing VT given opponent strength in the final loss. Michigan would be just 10-2 to VT's 11-2, and Michigan didn't win its division. They're out. The loser of MSU/Wiscy would have 3 losses. They're done. So, the way I see it: 1. If VT loses AND 2. If OSU beats OU, here's how I see the bowls shaking out: Orange: Clemson Fiesta: VT Chick-Fil-A: FSU/UVA Champs Sports: UVA/FSU Sun: GT Belk: NCSU Music City: Wake Independence: UNC Military: ?!?!?! So, in a bizarre twist, a VT loss could have VT playing a better opponent than with a win. Edited November 30, 2011 by UVAObserver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Peach picking UVA though if VT chokes Why would you see Michigan jumping VT in pecking order, if you don't mind my asking. Given that Michigan is 16th in the BCS standings, right on the at-large line, and VT wouldn't drop below them with a loss, I just find it hard to fathom. That move would be skewered.

I think he means Michigan is a more attractive pick because of the fanbase and money that comes along with it. But by BCS rankings standings and pecking order for that, no way Michigan can jump VT..

Heck, even Kansas State has a better case for inclusion than Michigan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance they drop that low. Below K-State, maybe. That would be an awfully interestng debate: 11-2 VT, or 10-2 KSU. VT won't plummet unless they're demolished like last time. Doubt that's happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunker Bass 27 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 This is the biggest crock of sh*& in the history of the BCS bowls. My God, are you kidding? Play 1 good team and get the hell beat out of you twice and go to a BCS bowl? Like Herbstreit just said "cupcake city". Unbelievable.
