Is somebody really going to have to worry about Boise State taking their BCS Championship Game spot?
No. Basically, if you go undefeated and you’re a BCS team, you’ll go in ahead of an undefeated Boise State team. But if you lose at any point during the season, you forfeit any rights to “spots”. Once you lose, you take things out of your hands and put it in the hands of computers and voters. There are no more spots—only candidates. And with a loss, you become a candidate. Equal with everybody else. The only thing that separates teams is a zero in the loss column. If you ain’t got one, then shut up. (2) Should we really worry about Notre Dame involving themselves in the BCS? Absolutely. Nine wins is basically all it takes for the Irish to get invited. There is essentially only one un-winnable game on the schedule, and that’s at USC. The rest are doable, especially now with some newly-hired competence roaming the sidelines. Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s going to happen—it just means we should keep an eye on it. (3) How will the teams leaving their present conferences exit? Colorado
