If Tennessee was in the Big East....

....I really think we'd be in contention for a BCS bowl. This conference is terrible from top to bottom.

a conference should be required to have their champ in the top-15 to receive the automatic bid. They don't deserve the check

I expect a rule like that to be implemented here soon. Having the BE champ is gonna kill the ratings for one of the bcs games.

I'm betting you get a big east/acc orange bowl. I just hope they don't wind up in the sugar bowl.

Stupid question I should know the answer to - if tcu and boise remain 3 and 4, are both assured of auto invites, or just whoever is #3?

I believe that the Fiesta picks last, so they will likely have the BE champ.

We also wouldn't get the kind of recruits that we get in the SEC.

Just the #3 team.

For some reason I thought orange did but you are right, it is the fiesta. I'm sure they are loving the possibility of a uconn/ok state match-up.

Probably have BO tickets until kickoff for that one...

All right....given the criteria, here is my guess as to how it looks as I type for the BCS bows...

NCG - Oregon vs Auburn

Rose - TCU vs. Wisconsin (another one I am sure bowl officials are loving

Sugar - LSU vs. Ohio State

Orange - Va Tech vs. Stanford (???, I really don't know who gets this one, could be OU or OK State too)

Fiesta - Nebraska vs. UConn/WVU (Fiesta Bowl begging and pleading for Nebraska?)

I agree, the big least shouldn't think they're entitled to anything. A absolute joke of a conference and a shame they get anyone into the BCS.
