how did u know that? :hihi: :hihi: :hihi: Not sure about concise, that part was tough to pull off. Thought-through, most definitely. Tried to balance it between getting out enough info to make it clear without overdoing it.
I am over the co-national championship thing. I want USC to expose ND (again). I'll get enough joy from that to be able to stomach the Trojan praise, which, frankly, they deserve.
Well done Islstl. Thanks for the homework and I agreed w/ your assessment. What's the pick order of the Bowls? What's the chance of us going to the Rose Bowl versus the Orange? And wouldn't the Sugar pick Florida if they win the SEC Championship (automatically) - which makes us avail for the Orange?
If it's OSU/USC for the BCS CG and assuming Florida wins out: The Rose replaces both of it's picks first. Rose: Michigan vs. (Notre Dame/LSU/Big East team/Boise State) Sugar: Florida vs. (Notre Dame/LSU/Big East team/Boise State) Orange: ACC Champ vs. Big East Champ or (Notre Dame/LSU/Big East team/Boise State) Fiesta: Big 12 Champ vs. (Notre Dame/LSU/Big East team/Boise State) My guess is: Rose: Michigan vs. LSU Sugar: Florida vs. Notre Dame Orange: ACC Champ vs. Big East Champ Fiesta: Big 12 Champ vs. Boise State Notes: Rose would not wanna see a rematch of Michigan vs. Notre Dame, therefore selecting LSU. Sugar would prefer Notre Dame vs the Big East Champ, thinking it would mean more revenue. Orange would easily take Big East Champ over Boise State. Fiesta would be left with Boise State. The Big East at-large (Louisville/WVU) would be left out of the mix in this case. If it's OSU/Michigan for the BCS CG and assuming Florida wins out: The Rose replaces both one of its picks first.

The only thing I am not sure of is whether USC must be their first replacement pick or can they pick LSU and then when it's their time again to pick they automatically get USC? Sugar would prefer Notre Dame vs the Big East Champ, thinking it would mean more revenue. Orange would easily take Big East Champ over Boise State. Fiesta would be left with Boise State. The Big East at-large (Louisville/WVU) would be left out of the mix in this case. Now you can see why everyone always sticks Boise State in the Fiesta. They get there only by process of elimination. That top 12 rules for them substandard conferences needs to go bye-bye.
As usual, good job islstl. I would cream my pants if we get a shot as USC in the Rose. Our boys know the meaning of that game, I just hope the coaches will realize it too and we duplicate the Peach Bowl from last year! That would be just as good as winning a NC!
I would pour creamed corn down my shorts. But that's just my preference. Ok, nice to see such a professionally started thread go so terribly wrong so quickly.
