Is this true?

If Notre Dame wins 10 games, are they guarnteed a BCS game?

 

[WabashFalcon]

No... we have to finish in the top 12 of the BCS rankings to get a possible nod.

 

[cindy1772001]

ok, ty

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

But again I think if we win out we will be in the top 12. Pitt needs to beat UC last week of the year. Michigan State, Boston College teams like that need to keep on winning.

I thought it was top 14....

 

[fightinirish68]

im pretty sure its like this ....

-finish higher than one or more BCS conference champions

-have a better record than one or more BCS conference champions

-meet stricter criteria than one or more BCS conference champions and a non-BCS qualifier

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

How bout this, lets just win out and let the chips fall where they may...

 

[WhoDeyIrish]

I'd love to play UC in a BCS bowl by the way...Demetrius Jones is their OLB..LOL

I think we would beat up on UC.

The At-Large Provision kicks in IF all the 10 berths are not filled by Authomatic Qualifiers.

Lets hope we get a chance to be considered, we're already in the, "play-offs" so to speak, and should we win out, lets hope Oregon's victory over USC doesn't come back to slap us in the face, I'm sure they'll be getting a bid before us!?!

Fla/Bama vs Texas in the NC game.
Oregon vs Iowa in the Rose Bowl.
Fla/Bama vs Pitt in the Sugar.
PennST vs TCU/Boise in the Fiesta.
GT vs USC in the Orange Bowl.

Frankly I think USC is happy they lost, don't have to play in the Rose again, haha.

I'm pretty sure that is for mid-majors, not Notre Dame.

he beauty and the irony is that if ND wins out they will go and USC will not. I was listening to the USC game on the radio and as they were getting clobbered they didn't think they had a chnace to go to a BCS game anymore. It is thr 1993 logic where a FSU team that lost to ND won the NC. The 2 USC losses were embarassing.ND will get invited because ND brings the bank$$.

 

[jason_h537]

USC's loss could very well knock us out the BCS. oh well, at least we get to whopp a poor acc team instead

 

[phork]

Or an SEC team.

Id love to play LSU
