West Virginia is now officially in the BCS ratings and Louisville is ranked number five. This is going to make this Thursdays nights game a big one, the winner will in all probabilities have the inside tract for the National Championship game.
The top two teams in the BCS are currently Ohio State and Michigan, and they will meet and play against each other on November 18th at Ohio State. The winner of this game will go into the BCS Championship game as the #1 team and the Winner of the WVU Louisville game will most likely go in as #2 provided the winner wins out.
There is an ironic monkey wrench that could be thrown into the entire scenario, both WVU and Louisville still will play Rutgers this season, Rutgers is currently ranked #12 in the BCS poll.
You know, a few years ago the ACC raided the Big East and took Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. Many people believed that this would kill the Big East as a BCS Conference. The Big East has three teams in the top 12 and the ACC has none. The number 12 ranking is significant, because it was previously the measuring stick on a conferences BCS credibility.
OK, IF WVU beats Louisville, Rutgers and manages to beat Pitt in the Backyard Brawl we're in the national Championship against the winner of OSU-Michigan. If Michigan wins and WVU wins out I'm going to give everyone a little heads up about the last time these two teams played. We played Michigan 102 years ago and they beat us 0-130 and that is NOT a misprint. I cheering for Ohio State so we don't have to hear that.
