All might not be lost for Hokie Nation

[fuji869]

All is not lost yet, the Hokies are ranked #6 in the BCS! They could still get an at large BCS Bid from maybe the Fiesta Bowl. This sux though I will probably have to go for Miami in the ACC Title Game and have to root for West Virginia because of the whole strength of schedule thing.

Baring 1 more loss Notre Dame will probably get a BCS Bid because they are Notre Dame but don't know what the exact qualifications are for a BCS at large bid but all might not be lost for Hokie Nation.

I am no Hokie fan - but a one loss Tech team should get the nod over a 2 loss team (like ND).

That said, I think VPI gets the shaft and plays Louisville in the Gator Bowl - which would be a good matchup since Louisville has more talent (than my Mountaineers) - even though WVU beat them.

ND will get the BCS over anybody for any reason. Even with three losses, there's going to be behind-the-scenes dealings with TV execs, ND alum, and BCS officials.

At this point, I'm hoping Miami starts believing the hype and overlooking opponents like we did and drops one more. A BCS bid is nice, but I want the ACC dammit!

Va Tech vs ND on Jan 2, 2006.... :D

Go IRISH!!!!

To get a BCS bid, Notre Dame must be ranked in the Top 10. This will happen if they win out for sure. VT gets screwed since West Va. gets a BCS bid by winning the Little East. Miami will not lose another game and should win the ACC and get the BCS bowl bid. I think the Gator bowl with Louisville could be the ticket. How disappointing for VT fans!!

If I could pick, I would love to match up with either Penn State, Notre Dame, Alabama or Georgia.

Protect your home turf at night and you won't have to worry about other teams...

Might be interesting to see ND lose and then end up with a VT - WVU BCS game

[EersSkins05]

Only way that happens is if Miami loses.

WVU (if they win out, which, as a WVU fan, I know is never a certainty) will almost definately be in either the Sugar or Orange Bowl with the ACC or SEC champion.

VT and Miami now both have one ACC loss, but they play in the same division of the ACC, and Miami has the tiebreaker. Therefore, unless miami loses at home to GT or Virginia (unlikely), they'll be the representative of that division in the ACC Championship game.


EDIT- Sorry- didn't realize there was another thread on this.

I can't believe I will actually be rooting for Virginia for a game.

[azmodeus13]

If Tech wins out, which is possible, even if Miami loses we could see an at large BCS bowl game.

If they're smart, they'll put Tech and WVU against each other - heck of a rivalry and would fill a stadium
