    Both have Ohio State playing in the Capital One Bowl against South Carolina and Oregon against Boise State in the National Championship.

    Wisky has left:

    @ Purdue
    Indiana
    @ Michigan
    Northwestern

    Only possible game I could see them struggling with there is Northwestern, the other three they should win handily.

    Michigan State's remaining schedule:

    @ Iowa
    Minnesota
    Purdue
    @ Penn State

    I think they'll be tested in Iowa City this week, and against Penn State because its a rivalry game, but they have a chance torun the table as well.

    Somehow I think that if both lose 1 more game, and OSU runs the table from here out, the Bucks are in a BCS game.

    LOL at Pitt being a BCS Bowl caliber team.
  • LJ
    if OSU, Wisky and MSU win out, unless Wisky is top 4 in the BCS, it will be a fight over who will bring in more $$$$ for an at-large bid, and I think we know who wins that battle.
  • Blanket
    If they all 3 win out, Wisconsin and Michigan State will get the BCS games

    What are you basing Wisky getting an at-large bid over OSU on?
  • darbypitcher22
    ^^^^

    probably because they beat us head to head, but we all know that doesn't make a damn bit of difference. When it comes down to it at that point, is about who is going to bring in the most dollars, who's fans are going to travel the most. Wisky travels fairly well, but nobody in the Big Ten travels as well as Ohio State

    Thats exactly it. If the Buckeyes manage to win out they will be in a BCS game.

    exactly. The BCS doesn't care about head to head wins, the BCS cares about $$$$. It isn't an NCAA sanctioned Championship series, it is a $$$$ sanctioned championship series

    and anyways, I see Michigan State being tripped up this wekeend. That will be an angry bunch of Hawkeyes coming off the loss to Wisky, and the lucky streak can't continue forever (fake FG against ND, coming back down 17 vs. Northwestern)

    This discussion about Ohio State getting a BCS berth will end in about 4 weeks anyway

    Wisky and MSU will represent the Big 10 in the BCS

    If they end up playing South Carolina...they will get rocked

    Enjoy Florida in the toilet bowl this year

    Wisconsin might finish in the top 4, which would guarantee them a BCS bowl bid. If they don't finish in the top 4, and both UW and OSU win out, Ohio State would almost certainly get picked over them for the spot.

    Yea....we suck this year...I said that all along

    I didn't blow my team up to be the best team in the country only to have them get destroyed in Week 7

    WHY???? That money arguement should be bullshit.

    It should go to the most deserving team,which would be Wisconsin
  • darbypitcher22
    and nobobdy who's a true OSU fan blew them up as the best team in the country either. a majority of OSU fans knew that it could happen and probably would happen.
