There is something I've been wondering about and hoping someone here might know the correct answer. Say all four of Bama, Oregon, ND and the Cats finish undefeated...or really it can just be us, ND and Bama. Say ND and their media hype snakes their way in past us to play Bama. Who would the Fiesta choose to play us? They have first choice of the at larges. In this scenario ND and Bama obviously play in the championship. Oregon would go Rose. Florida State is tied to Orange. Sugar I believe would take the next SEC team correct? They are tied to doing so even if they lose Bama right? So let's say it's Georgia for argument sake. Whatever team comes from the BIG scrapheap goes Rose.
Who would that leave for us? The SEC would already have two in and can't have a third correct? This rule has not changed? So we have the following as candidates at this point.....Clemson? Louisville? Boise? (I will blow a gasket if our reward for this season is playing a Boise team that doesn't belong), Stanford? USC? I mean the pickings get real slim in a hurry with Ohio State being ineligible. Stanford and USC aren't bad options but Standford was just there and both them and USC could have multiple losses. The thing that could suck is if the Big 12 sends two to the BCS, our #2 will likely go Sugar to play a better opponent than what we would get in the Fiesta.
If my assumptions are correct and we do indeed get left out of the title game, I would much prefer Oregon go instead of ND because then we would almost assuredly get to play ND in the Fiesta in what would be a huge game. That being said, let's just go to Miami on Jan 7th.
