Re: WVU != BCS
[ QUOTE ]
Is anyone else as pissed as me that WVU is going to be in a BCS bowl? [/ QUOTE ] Yes. I realize contractual agreements between the conferences and the BCS can't be broken, but if the Big East doesn't get at least one decent team by the time the contract is up for extension (hopefully soon) they must be cut out of the deal.

Re: WVU != BCS
Yeah, that sucks. Too bad Louisville couldn't beat them this year.

Re: WVU != BCS
Pitt definitely didn't deserve to go last year, the Big East is a basketball first, football second conference.

I think they have to be 5 spots greater than the conference champ in the final BCS standings. BTW, why is WVU so undeserving if the finish running the table with their only loss being to #3 VaTech? I hate WVU but you can't say they wouldn't be deserving!!!

Utah also scheduled major conference teams. West Virginia has a terrible non-conference schedule to match their equally horrid conference schedule. Plus, I think most people would agree that going into their bowl game last year people thought Utah would compete or beat Pitt. If anyone thinks West Virginia could compete or beat a top 10 team this year they are dillusional.

[/ QUOTE ] No, the Big East's bid is automatic. ND has their own contract with the BCS. A couple of the lower-tier bowls have a deal similar to what you describe.
