Re: College Football III: We may lose, but we keep the score close!
Watching ESPN SportsCenter over the past 24 hours really drives home how precarious things are for the minor conference teams.
Take last night's game. Yay for BSU, one of their opponents got a win, and climbs a little higher in the BCS rankings. Will it really matter? Not at all. Because VT is a 2-loss team.
BSU may have been eliminated from BCS title consideration by . . . wait for it . . . wait for it . . . James Madison University, in Harrisonburg, VA.
Of course, that was a hangover game for VT. And it wasn't even really a meaningful game. As soon as VT lost to BSU in the final minute of their game, the BCS title was gone. All that was left for them was the conference title and Orange Bowl. JMU was irrelevant to both of those, they didn't take the game seriously, and lost.
If they hadn't, and their only loss was a final-moments nailbiter to BSU, then regardless of the fact that they aren't great, VT is still in the top-10. And BSU has their top-10 win to point to, to hold off TCU.
Playoffs, now. That's all.
