Boring. They all seem small and lack secondary coverage.

And I care... Why???

Just talking some college football and how one of these teams is ranked above of all of our own.

Because Fresno State is ahead of UCF in the BCS standings right now.

And it means absolutely nothing for UCF. The Knights are going to a BCS bowl barring a major collapse.

Understandable. The Knights won a big game tonight. Just gotta remember the AAC is a BCS conference so the Knights are in as long ad they take care of business.

Fresno is the program that has to worry about UCF. Particularly if the Bulldogs don't finish in the top 12 of the BCS.

Nope. I still don't care.

What does Fresno being in front of UCF in the BCS standing have to do with anything????? We are an auto bid league this year, so our winner will go to a BCS bowl, even if they aren't ranked and sitting at say 7-5.

It does matter because if fresno or niu don't make top 12, or stay ahead of UCF, they won't get a bcs bowl and UCF will likely be going to fiesta bowl, which would be a disaster....just ask Uconn. Orange or sugar, we need fresno or NIU to win out so they are last pick.

Actually UCF chances to go to Orange increased dramatically by Oregon's loss. With FSU now looking like it may head to NC game that leaves the OB needing to add another ACC team like Clemson and they would want UCF against them for fan attendance.

I hope so, but I have contacts on orange bowl committee and they are looking for a runner up from one of the P5 conferences, ei Texas, Oklahoma, etc.

Id put the percentages of AAC champ as follows, assuming Fresno or NIU win out:

Sugar 75%
Orange 20%
Fiesta 5%

Disagree completely. The Big East rep was selected last or second to last every year between 2005 to 2012 (Big East destination is in bold and non-AQ destination is italicized).

January 2005 games: Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, Fiesta
January 2006 games: Fiesta, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar
January 2007 games: Sugar, Orange, Fiesta (non-AQ qualified)
January 2008 games: Orange, Fiesta, Sugar (non-AQ qualified)
January 2009 games: Fiesta, Sugar, Orange (non-AQ qualified)
January 2010 games: Orange, Fiesta, Sugar (2 non-AQs qualified)
January 2011 games – Rose, Sugar, Orange, Fiesta (non-AQ qualified; non-AQ Rose Bowl stipulation enforced)
January 2012 games – Fiesta, Sugar, Orange
January 2013 games – Fiesta, Sugar, Orange (non-AQ qualified)
January 2014 games: - Orange, Sugar, Fiesta

Based on the last 9 years of BCS games, I think it is pretty safe to assume the following. If NIU or Fresno St qualify, then UCF is pretty much a lock to go to the Sugar Bowl. If NIU or Fresno don't qualify, then UCF is a lock to go to the Fiesta Bowl. I simply can't see the Orange Bowl takes the American Champion with the 1st overall rotation pick and passing up on a highly ranked P5 team like Oregon/Texas/Oklahoma/etc.

Didn't Boise receive an at large pick from the Fiesta in 2010?

It really just matters for the love of the game. When it's 1am and you're still drinking beer you get to come home and watch some West Coast football.

Yes. The selection process for 2010 was as follows

1. BCS National Championship Game in Pasadena -- No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 2 Texas
2. Sugar selected Florida to replace No. 1 Alabama
3. Fiesta selected TCU to replace No. 2 Texas
4. Orange (first in rotation) selected at-large Iowa
5. Fiesta (second in rotation) selected at-large Boise State
6. Sugar (third in rotation) selected AQ Cincinnati

TCU and Boise St were both selected in 2010. Because TCU was #4 in the BCS, they became an automatic qualifier (3/4 rule). Boise was therefore able to snag the non-AQ slot as an at-large.

Well DAMN, then I am not a Fresno fan! I really dont see UCF traveling well to Arizona. I could be wrong since this is a BCS game but the fan base is so fickle its hard to tell.

When is it decided who will be playing where so that we can start planning the trip?

You better be careful there I have seen UCF lose some head scratchers in the past when in CUSA. You better win out before you get your tickets. Not saying you won't...but just saying.

I remember one clearly, a loss to a winless UAB in their house. There must have been at the most 500 fans in attendance at that game. I couldn't believe it.

Not gonna start the purchase process until its confirmed that were in a Bowl. We just need to win 3 more games and were locked in.
