Re: Official Illinois has more wins than Michigan and ND combined thre
Time to start the cheering for a BCS
1. BEAT NORTHWESTERN (impressively would help)
2. Ohio State beat Michigan
3. Hawai'i pick up a loss (among @ Nevada, v Boise, v Washington)
4. Be nice for Boise to pick up a loss (v Idaho and @ Hawai'i)
5. Go West Virginia! (beating Cincy and UConn would put those teams well behind Illinois in bargaining position)
6. pull for V Tech out of the ACC--all but one ACC team will pick up a late season 3rd loss, the team best able to handle a 3rd loss and compete for a BCS berth with Illinois is V Tech--best to have V Tech just win that conference and compete verse the other 3 (Virginia, BC, and Clemson)
7. Go South Carolina v Clemson--along with the point before, Clemson is the second best at having a 3-loss argument with Illinois. Tougher argument if Clemson beats BC, wins @ S Car, and then loses an ACC title game on the way to 10-3.
8. Oregon losing opens up a slim chance that the Pac10 might not send 2 teams...pull for another Oregon loss and ASU to look impressive beating USC.
While not a great chance, chances still exist.
New Years in Florida is not a bad fallback plan--BEAT NORTHWESTERN!!!!!
