So if Nebraska pulls this sucker out tonight... who do you all think they will play?
Money has got to be on Cincinnati, at least I think so, knowing what I know about how the BCS works.
TCU is ahead of them in the standings, in the latest version, but ever so slightly. I think with the win vs. Pitt today, the computers are going to favor Cincinnati even more now. It's gonna give them a little more edge in the computers.
The real question is what are the human voters going to do? I mean personally I imagine them rewarding for them beating Pitt today, and running the table as a 'big six conference team'.
Any chance that you guys think that the human voters will think oppositely though, and realize the reality is that Cincinnati was down 3 touchdowns today against an above average team in Pittsburgh today, and 14 late in the game. Will they think that "Is this a team that should play for the NC?", ahead of TCU who has been on an absolute demolish tear lately.
Will Cincinnati being fresh in the mind, by just playing today also have a positive effect for them?
How about this.. how many small school coaches will vote TCU ahead of Cincinnati purely because TCU represents them? I'm not sure of the distribution of votes between the coaches, but that would be an interesting angle on things.
I'm tellin you, if Nebraska wins (and that is what this is all based on)... this is going to be a BCS debate for the ages, and will only beg the question of the 4 team playoff because of Boise State also with their undefeated record.
IMO TCU would be most deserving and should play Alabama, but I think Cincinnati would be more likely to grab that second spot.
Your opinions....
