Notre Dame beat USC, that way they get picked up before the Gator can get them and West Virginia beat Rutgers. That means WVU and Rutgers both have two losses and Louisville only has one and ends up in a BCS bowl or something. Does that sound right??

Wrong.  You told me in another thread they were taking Big XII b/c WVU lost.

WVU lost to USF. The Gator bowl picks Big East, Notre Dame or Big XII. Rutgers and WVU won't get picked because they will each have two losses and they are from the Big East, Notre Dame will probably be picked up already and why wouldn't the Gator Bowl want the defending National Champs (Texas)??

Don't know if it's the only two things that'll happen.

But here's how I see it. 

There are 10 spots available. 

1.   OSU is in
2.   Michigan is in
3.   USC is in.
4.   ACC only gets one
5.   Big 12 only gets one
6.   Big East only gets one
7.   SEC champ
8.   Notre Dame is in win or lose...wouldn't have been without this slew of upsets
9.   Boise St. gets the non-BCS conference bone this year
10.  SEC probably gets a second team

With the upsets I think this pushes Gator to decide between Texas, Oklahoma, Rutgers, and WVU.  I'd be surprised if Texas/OU doesn't get that selection.

Upsets have been good.  A Nubb upset in the B12 may throw this into some turmoil, but I doubt it.  Don't think it matters what happens in SEC or ACC ccg.

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. WVU and Rutgers won't get selected over Texas. OU goes Fiesta.

If you were thinking ND gets in win or lose, why did you type that they needed to beat USC?

No, waks said

"Notre Dame beat USC..." then you said, "Notre Dame is in win or lose" and then waks said, "Yeah, that's what I was thinking."

He is either confused or not being very clear.
