Our BCS Chances

[The3ears]

  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.

[Panjandrum]

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.

Stewart Mandel tweeted this morning that he though a 2 loss K-State goes to the Fiesta before a 2 loss Oklahoma.

If OU loses to OSU and we win out, I could see us getting picked over OU for the Fiesta.

Not to mention karma wise we're owed a BCS invite after getting screwed by the orange in 2002...

That would be great!
 
 
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.

There's nothing sexy about a 10-2 Oklahoma.

There's something extremely sexy about a 10-2 Kansas State.

10-2 Oklahoma has little to play for, 10-2 K-State has everything to play for.  the thought of 11-1 OU and OSU makes me want to

[kso_FAN]

Its okay to talk about, but don't get your hopes up.

K-State fans have to be willing to take the Cotton Bowl and run all over the place with it.
