BCS POLL Vols Move Up 4 Spots!!!

[Big Vol Nasty]

That's a reason, not reasons. Perhaps if the pollsters would adjust their rankings accordingly, Boise State wouldn't be so high.

I was going to go into some more but I think that kind of summed it up.

LSU is safely ahead of Louisville, so I think they get the final at large bid. Good news for us!

Don't the Top 6 BCS teams automatically get a BCS bid? (Excluding a third team from one conference, of course)

I thought we got shafted by the Outback in 2003?

Yes, they took 8-4 Florida over 10-2 Tennessee.

Yes, they took 8-4 Florida over 10-2 Tennessee.

How is that a shaft again? Florida had 2 SEC losses, as did UT. UT, UGA, and Florida tied for the SEC East. Therefore, the Outback could easily choose from the three and, of course, chose the best draw.

Again, the world is not out to screw UT football!!!

I wouldn't worry about it too much. I"m going through the scenario's, and I think it is very unlikely that we go to the MC bowl.

so while i can't reveal sources, story is that if Florida beats Arky, Arky falls to the Cotton, LSU is in the Rose, Cap One doesn't want a Wisconsin-Auburn rematch and takes UT..... i know this doesn't hold water since no one knows where I got the info, but take it for what it's worth

You can site me. I've been saying it for two days now.

it's actually only the top 4 now. notre dame has to be in the top 8, and a non major conference team has to be either in the top 12, or in the top 16 and ahead of a major conference champion.

edit- also, to qualify for an at large you must be in the top 14 of the BCS

If any team amkes the Top 4 without winning their conference, they get an automatic bid.

If Notre Dame makes it into the top 8, they get an automatic bid.

If any school from a non-BCS conference makes it into the top 12, they get an automatic bid.

Yup. Beat me to it, good man. :good!:
