College Football / BCS question
 

If texas would have lost to colorado, wouldn't colorado win the big 12 making 9 autobirths?
1/2 for USC and Texas
Top 4 for OSU
top 6 for ND
Conference wins for: PSU, WVU, UGA, FSU
and Colorado would make 9. How would this have been handled?

texas remains in top 4 w/ only one loss, osu gets bumped

edit: no this is wrong, osu would still be in the top 4...i'm not sure actually

There are 2 "at-large" berths which can be granted either to teams in those conferences who did not win their championship or to teams belonging to other conferences. The procedure for selecting at-large berths is, in this order:

A team finishing first or second in the final BCS rankings as an at-large receives an automatic bid
A team finishing in the top six of the final BCS rankings from an independent school or from a non-BCS conference receives an automatic bid; if a team qualifies in this manner, then Notre Dame would also qualify by winning at least 9 games or finishing in the top 10 in the BCS standings
A team finishing either third or fourth in the final BCS rankings and finishes higher than any other at-large team receives an automatic bid


If at any step, the 2 berths are filled, the process stops. If there are not 2 teams by this point, any other team from the top 12 of the final BCS rankings with at least 9 wins is eligible.

If texas lost to a horrible Colorado team, they wouldn't be in the top 4 anymore, so no BCS berth for them.

If all the games played out like they did, it would be

1. USC
2. Penn St
3. Ohio State
4. Oregon
5. Notre Damn
6. Texas
etc.
----------

editing before I send, if this was the final standings. Who's in?

Big Ten - Penn State
Pac-10 - USC
Big east - WVU
Big 12 - Colorado
SEC - Georgia
acc - Florida St.

that leaves Ohio state, oregon, and ND on the outs. But, if a team is top 4, it's an auto bid, so Ohio State and Oregon get it, but if Notre Dame is top 6, auto bid.

That's 9 bids for 8 slots. That would have been disasterous.

3 and 4 only get an Automatic Bid if there are spots left over after #1-#2 get in, and the best top 6 non-BCS Conference team is in. Also, if Oregon was #4, OSU was #3, and ND was #12, Oregon does not have an autobid, as OSU gets the spot.

It matches #1 and #2 and makes a lot of money, nothing more than it intended to do.
