Oregon wins out, Oregon State losses 2 more game, ASU wins out means ASU in the Rose Bowl.. Let's get it Devils.

Doesn't work that way, they'd end up in Alamo Bowl.

How? If ASU beats all of those 1 loss teams they would have the tie breaker against them and OSU would end up with 3 losses so they wouldn't have their tie breaker against ASU, and Oregon would end up in the National Championship game. That would leave ASU with 2 losses in the conference and tiebreakers against the other 2 loss teams. They would be 9-3 overall and going to the Rosebowl.


Now in there they would have to win @CAL, vs WSU, @USC, vs STA, vs UCLA, @UofA (which they won't be able to, but if they would they would finish second in the conference)

It wouldn't work that way because the Rose Bowl has a chance to pick any team from any conference if the Pac10 champ goes to the National Championship game. I guess they could, in theory, choose ASU to play but I bet there would be better teams out there that would fit the bill.

^ True, but I believe that if we beat Stanford and Arizona while winning out our ranking would be high enough where we'd have a good chance to be selected. This doesn't matter anyway, but I'm glad Kerry Taylor tweeted this and Bolden retweeted...shows that they are aiming high, which is always nice.

You also have to be in the top 12 in the BCS rankings which would be unlikely. I don't think there's been more than a couple 9-3 at large teams to get a BCS spot and you also have to consider that TCU and Boise likely take two of those.

You are both correct, I just figured if ASU runs the table and beats those teams it has left on its schedule it might sneak high enough up there that the Rose Bowl committee would love to keep a Pac10 team in there if they could, even if there are better 1 and 2 loss teams available.

I thought I read that if a Big Ten or Pac 10 team makes the BCS Title game, they would be required to select a non-BCS qualifier this year. Anyone else hear of this?
