Goodbye Rutgers thanks for playing..

[BGIF]

Holy shit I just realized that, WVU, if they beat Rutgers will be ranked higher in the end then louisville. But louisville will win the BE. Does that mean we will have two teams from the BE in the BCS. That would be garbage and you know I'm a WVU fan. Absolute garbage.

Garbage In; Garbage Out!

My Prediction:

BCS championship: osu vs mich
Sugar: ND vs Ark
Rose: USC vs Texas
Orange: GT vs Louisville
Fiesta: WV vs Boise State

eeeuuu cool...

do you know the rules scoop? What would WVU have to be rated in order to get an automatic bid?
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Looks like #3...or possibly #4[/quote]

#3 and #4 do NOT apply to WVU.

Rule #3 deals with the champion of Conference USA, the Mid-American Conference, the Mountain West Conference, the Sun Belt Conference, or the Western Athletic Conference not with the Big East while Rule #4 applies to ND.

He was answering my previous question about what ranking a team would have to be if they didn't win their conference. Here is the rule that might apply to UM and WVU this year.

5. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 4, and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 3 in the final BCS Standings, that team will become an automatic qualifier, provided that no at-large team from the same conference qualifies for the national championship game.

6. If any of the 10 slots remain open after application of provisions 1 through 5, and if no team qualifies under paragraph No. 5 and an at-large team from a conference with an annual automatic berth for its champion is ranked No. 4 in the final BCS Standings, that team will become an automatic qualifier provided that no at-large team from the same conference qualifies for the national championship game.

I understood the question and noted that #3 and #4 don't pertain as those rules deal with other conferences and ND.

UM wasn't included in the question but #3 and #4 don't apply to them either for the same reasons.

UM can and will qualify under #5 or #6. WVU will get an At-Large Selection but won't get an automatic slot.

The first 4 ranked teams will be:
OSU (season complete)
UM (season complete)
UF or ARK winner
ND or USC winner

A WVU win over RU will not jump them over any of the 4 ranked teams out of this group. UF and ARK will not both lose final season games.

I think he meant that wvu needed to be ranked 3 or 4, not rule 3 or 4 applies to wvu but who really cares.
