Assume we win out.
There are a total of 10 BCS slots. 6 big conf champs are automatic. BCS rule allow one guaranteed BCS spot to a non-Big Six conference champion if finishes in the top 12 or in the top 16 and its ranking is higher than that of a conference champion with an automatic berth.
Since Big east does not have a team ranked, there should be at least one slot for them. So there are only 3 "at large" slots left.
1. We won't win the big 12, (even OU or OSU both has two loses, we lose the tie break). We cannot get the automatic bid. So we can only hope for an at large bid.
2. Current BCS rule limits two teams from a conference, OSU will still be ranked ahead of us even if they lose the last two (very unlikely against ISU). For us to have a chance, we need OU to lose two more games (At Baylor and vs OSU).
3. BCS rule says At-large candidates must have at least nine victories and finish in the top 14 in the final BCS standings. We are currently #13. That rank will improve as we win the remian 2 games. So no problem on our qualification.
4. SEC will take one and only one at large slot. regarless. ( currently LSU, Bama, Ark and SC are all ahead of us)
5. Clemson and VT shall meet at the ACC Champ game, so the loser should drop below us.
6. Pac10 has two teams ahead. Oregon is #4. it will remain ahead of us even if they lose to USC. So it helps a great deal if Stanford lose another one.
Giving the great story we have this year, We shall be selected by a BCS if:
A. OU loses two more games
B. Stanford lose another game.
-
. OU loses two more games
B. Stanford lose another game.
neither of those are occurring. and OU doesn't need two losses for us to be picked ahead of them.
-
OU's loss will come late in the year, which hurts. If we win out, we'll probably be Top 10 BCS, which helps.
Also, I'm sure the Fiesta Bowl is probably a little tired of having OU year after year. They probably think they can sell more tickets if they get someone different for once.

That would be great!
:ksu:
I should clarify what I meant to say: we will be selected by BCS if the two happens. But does not mean we have no chances if OU does not lose two more and Stanford does not lose.

Well, anyone who is mad at being in the Cotton Bowl is an idiot. It's the freaking Cotton Bowl.
That said, all things considered, I'd kill to be in the BCS again.

My question is if we get the cotton if we lose to TX and beat ISU. TX losing to MU has to help us here. We will have lost the head to head with TX but I see them dropping at least one of @Baylor and @aTm. Does a 2 loss OU still get into the BCS? At large bids in order?:
Autos: LSU, OSU, Oregon, VTech/Clem Winner, Some BE loser team, Some B10 loser team
1 loss Bama
1 loss Stanford
Undefeated Houston
2 loss OU
1 loss Boise
Vtech and Clemson are probably playing again in their championship game and a 2 loss OU gets in ahead of either at 2 losses imo
Gotta think a 2 loss OU gets in ahead of any of the loser B10 schools with 2 losses

It's pretty simple. SEC, Pac 12, and Big 12 will each get an at-large bid, plus Houston or Boise for the 4th. The Big 12 at-large will be between OU and K-State. I don't see any realistic scenario where the Big 12 doesn't snag an at-large bid.
If K-State beats Texas, then it will be interesting to see whether OU or K-State, both 10-2, goes to Fiesta. Probably OU.
If K-State loses to Texas, then 10-2 OU definitely goes to Fiesta, and K-State maybe goes to Cotton. Remember, even though K-State will probably finish with a better record than Texas, the Big 12 bowls don't have to pick by record. Cotton could very well decide to take an 8-4 Texas over a 9-3 K-State.
Needless to say, it is very important that we beat Texas to ensure the Cotton Bowl, and keep our hopes alive for Fiesta. If not, San Antonio wouldn't be so bad.

NCG: LSU vs. OSU
Orange: Big East vs. Clemson
Rose: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Sugar: Alabama vs. Houston
Fiesta: OU or K-State vs. Mich St. or Stanford
Michigan State still has to play in a CCG, if they win they would go to the Rose and knock all other Big 10 teams out of contention. If they lose they'll have 2 losses. Stanford faces Cal and Notre Dame--losable games. Houston could get beat in their CCG by Southern Miss.
Oklahoma State has to beat Oklahoma to have any shot, unless a major upset occurs in Ames on Friday night. It may come down to the great John Currie and the Animal lobbying for a slot. There's going to be a pile of 2 loss teams at the end of the year.
I'd like Fiesta more than anything, but Alamo would be fun. I've been to Dallas before. JerryWorld is cool but Dallas is pretty meh.

Its nice to know that we are on top of things: http://www.kansas.com/2011/11/15/2103814/kansas-state-football-an-enticing.html
"I am sitting here looking at a slick, four-color brochure made specifically for the AT&T Cotton Bowl," said Cotton Bowl President Rick Baker. "It says, 'K-State fans are ready to pack Arlington with purple,' and has statistics on how well K-State travels and how the team is doing.
"It's as slick a piece as you're ever going to want to see. I've never received one during the season like this. It just goes to show how forward-thinking and aggressive they are right now."

You messed 1 thing up, Wisconsin already has 2 losses...so here is how it shakes out with that fact.
Change Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Wisky or Michigan St. (The loser of the their CCG is not getting a BCS with 3 losses)
Change Fiesta to some combo of: OU/KSU vs. Stanford vs. Michigan/Nebraska winner (the winner of this game will have 2 losses and a very good shot at being in the required BCS top 14)

4 color brochures!!

I'm projecting Wisconsin as the Big 10 winner. Good point on Nebraska or Michigan being possibilities. K-State vs. Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl? :sdeek: Of course they would MUCH rather take OU in that scenario. Better hope Nebraska loses again.
-
Look, between the SEC, Pac 12, Big 12, Big 10, and ACC, only 3 of them are going to get an at-large bid. And is anyone here seriously suggesting that the Big 12 will get left out? How many teams does each conference have in the current BCS Top 15?
- SEC: 5
- Big 12: 3
- Pac 12: 2
- ACC: 2
- Big 10: 1 (MSU at number 15)
The Big 12 and SEC are definitely getting at-large bids.
Even if the Nubbs win out, there is no way in hell they sneak into a BCS at-large spot with 2 losses (including Northwestern at home?!) and without even winning their division.

Added Fiesta Bowl spokesperson Kristen Pflipsen: “We are still considering K-State for the Fiesta Bowl. A lot of things would have to happen for that to become reality. But that is not out of the question. We’ve always had a really positive experience with the Wildcats.”
So, in other words, K-State needs to win out, and OU needs to lose 2 more. That's fine, I'll take the Cotton Bowl.

Everyone needs to root for Michigan this weekend just to ensure they stay the eff out.
A 10-2 NU team that's got even a remotely legitimate claim to a BCS invite could get it due to the 85,000 tickets they'd buy at $500 a pop.

yeah, we wouldn't have a prayer if it came down to us v. nu. If OU and NU are both eligible by BCS rules they are going.

Then, by that logic, wouldn't Michigan be in just as good a position to snag an at-large if they beat NU? The Big 10 is not going to get 2 teams into the BCS this year. Not going to happen. There isn't any room for them. The SEC gets a bid. So will the Big 12. So will Houson or some other underserving non-AQ team. You're basically saying NU or Michigan would go instead of Stanford?

Not necessarily. It would help, but it's not necessarily the case.
If OSU just lays the hammer down on OU and beats them by three or four TD's, they could drop like a rock at the wrong time.

At this time I would tend to agree with you. Right now it looks like the probable at large bids will be Houston, Stanford, OU, and Alabama. However there are multiple scenarios that individually are not probable, but collectively might be 50/50 that one of them happens and would allow the Nub/Michigan winner in. Those are if Tulsa knocks off Houston, OU loses to Baylor and OSU, or Stanford loses to Notre Dame. If any of those happen it opens up a spot for the BigTen. If Stanford loses to ND the Fiesta would pick a 2-loss Nub over a 2-loss Stanford to play OU, or if OU loses this weekend to Baylor they would probably pick a 2-loss Michigan or Nub over a 2-loss KSU to play Stanford.

Give this K-State a schedule where only one regular season opponent finishes with fewer than 6 losses (and you got beat) and its likely they go 11-1 too. The win over VT was pretty solid though.

SC > Clemson does absolutely nothing. Clemson is already locked in the ACC championship game.
That's not why I said that. I have no idea what the odds of a 2-loss Clemson team getting an at-large bid if they lose the ACC championship game, but they are currently #7 in the BCS and I don't know if they would drop below us with a loss in the ACC championship game. I also know they consistently fill a 81,000 seat stadium, so they may actually travel pretty well if given the BCS opportunity. It wouldn't hurt to add another loss to the ACC to hurt their BCS rankings. I know odds of the ACC getting an at-large bid are like 2%, but a Clemson loss to South Carolina would drop it to 0% while helping KSU to possibly gain a spot in the BCS rankings and increase their profile. I know that this is by far the least important game to KSU that I listed, but eliminating another possible at-large team, even if their chances are only 2% to begin with doesn't hurt.
It also serves 1 more purpose. A South Carolina loss would drop them out of the top 14 and top 16, but a win would keep them in it. This helps us 2 ways. 1) It keeps 1 more team in the top 14 pool of at-large teams that can't get an at-large bid because their conference has already maxed out their participants. 2) In the event that Houston loses it may open up the possibility of TCU sliding into that no-AQ, top 16 auto bid slot. South Carolina winning this game keeps them above TCU and adding 1 more spot for TCU to have to jump in the case that Houston loses to take up an at-large bid.

Goddammit. You guys have gone and gotten me all excited that we're gonna go BCS, even though I know we won't. Now I'm gonna be disappointed if we go Cotton. :flush: BCS question, though: other than the fact that OU went to the Fiesta Bowl last year, why would we be even close to as attractive as the Sooners in any way?
-
Cause a 10-2 K-State doesn't happen every year like it does for OU, and they lose the Fiesta bowl every year anyway.
This assumes we win out obviously. If not then mods delete thread thx bye.
-
OU fans are tired of the Fiesta, they go there too much. Fiesta knows that nerdy-ass KSU fans like us will buy like 1.7 million tickets and camp outside in the rain to get in.
-
But could we really garner better ratings than OU? Isn't that really the only thing they give a crap about?

Fan excitement. They know we will bring 30k-50k whereas OU fans may be disappointed and ho-hum about another trip to the Fiesta. Its all about what the fan base can bring to the local economy.

If OU lose to Baylor & OSU, they have 3 loses and very likely be out of the top 14, should be lower than us if we win out.

Baylor has the kind of offense that could give OU fits. I don't think Baylor will win, but it's a pretty tough game for OU, match-up wise.
