BillsPilot Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 CAL finished ahead of Utah in the final BCS standings, why does CAL go to the Holiday and Utah to a BCS bowl? Sure it is a easy answer. HELP
KD in CA Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 I didn't read all this, but I don't think the BCS is obligated to take the highest ranking teams. The purpose is to ensure #1 and #2 play. Of course, I could be totally wrong, so here is the source! http://bcsfootball.org/index.cfm?page=eligibility
BRH Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 There's some rule that if a team from a non-BCS conference finishes in the top six in the BCS rankings, then they must be awarded a BCS berth. That's why Utah gets to go and Cal doesn't. It's not as big an injustice as Pitt going to a BCS bowl while Louisville and Boise State don't go.
BillsPilot Posted December 6, 2004 Author Posted December 6, 2004 If that is the case why didn't the Rose just select CAL instead od Texas like they wanted to. I am totally confused by the whole thing.
BillsPilot Posted December 6, 2004 Author Posted December 6, 2004 Thanks for the info, none of it passes the stink test. Auburn beats 4 nine win teams and has a strength of schedule better than OU and USC, but everybody talks about has they played those soft early season teams. Oh Well GO Bills Go Gators
