lol you are drunk...read above..
since Boise St. won't win the conference they would be put into the at-large field...the only requisite is they have to be in the top 12 I believe..so technically they are in consideration
Exactly. OU, OSU, and KSU deserve spots before BSU, imo. Not that Boise State has a chance at all of happening.
Maybe technically, but I'll bet you a thousand bucks they don't get selected. Wanna take the bet?
You are right they are in consideration for an at large. But they don't have the fan base to beat out, Kstate or Michigan
IMO Houston losing confirms there won't be a non aq in the bcs. I don't see ou or Georgia dropping below tcu.
No. You are wrong. Read your rules you just posted.
If a non AQ CHAMPION is in the top 12 they are automatically in.
If they aren't in the top 12, they have to be top 16 and finish ahead of lowest BCS conference champion. Which TCU will (over WV).
It also says only one team from any one NON AQ conference can go to a BCS game. So if TCU is in Top 16 they will get in for being champs, and Boise would be automatically out.
Boise is NOT an automatic qualifier, and are NOT conference champs. The same rules do not apply for them.

lots of controversy will happen if Georgia wins...but is it really fair that a team that didn't win it's own division to play in the title game over another BCS champion? no..Oklahoma St. deserves to be in over Alabama if they win today, more reason why I think everybody would agree we need an 8 team playoff to decide it..
First Logical thing you have said in this thread. I would like to see the controversy, but I would rather see ISU in San Diego
Ways boise state could get a BCS bid
1. Win their conference - (didnt win)and
A- finish in the top 12 moot since they didnt win
B- finish in the top 16 and higher than any a****id moot
The provisions below that govern the possible selection of a second non-aq conference champion ("if 2 or more satisfy the provisions for an automatic berth"= if there are 2 conference champions finishing in the top 12 or top 16 and higher than an AQ)
Now, they could get an at large, but those are completely up to the bowls. Theyre not going to pick boise. The big 12, with more qualified teams than Boise State, is worried that michigan is going to get picked before the b12 gets a 2nd BCS spot. Boise will be behind the big 12.
WVU really doesnt either, and the b10 barely deserves 1, and they have a decent chance of getting 2 bids.
I think you are drunk now...read below
At-large eligibility
If there are fewer than 10 automatic qualifiers, then the bowls will select at-large participants to fill the remaining berths. An at-large team is any Football Bowl Subdivision team that is bowl-eligible and meets the following requirements:
A. Has won at least nine regular-season games, and
B. Is among the top 14 teams in the final BCS Standings.
No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings.
This means that 3 BCS teams from the same conference can't be in the BCS UNLESS their is a situation like today if Georgia wins (1 vs 2 is from same conference and both aren't conf. champs so the conference champion also gets in)..so TCU would get the auto spot and Boise St. would be a candidate for the at-large spot
If I am correct, we want LSU, VT, and OU to win their respective games. Would also be nice for Baylor to win.
That doesnt mean they have a greater than 0% chance of getting selected. The bowls dont have to pick them (they are not required to pick in order of BCS finish) and they will pick any big 12 or big 10 team before they pick Boise State as they will bring a lot more money
You'll see that if you just look at the computer rankings. Almost every big 12 team underrated by the human voters.
