PChamp119 96 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I just heard possibly the most disturbing news of the football season: Sugar Bowl: Auburn vs Syracuse SYRACUSE??!?!?!?!?!?! WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!! The Big East apperently has some sort of 4 way tiebreaker and SU wins the Big East if they end up defeating BC. No BCS Bowl committee will pick up a 6-5 SU and the Sugar Bowl gets the last and final pick - leaving them with SU... I sure hope this new tiebreaker I just heard is untrue. Syracuse F'n blows. This would be the biggest blowout in BCS history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,126 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Been there, done that. No need to replay that one. Of course, THIS time the shoe would be on the other foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexbo 104 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I thought Pitt would be in if BC loses? I wonder if this would open us up to going to the Fiesta' the SEC or Sugar Bowl letting us go play a team at least in the Top 25... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDM4AU 336 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 The way I understand it is the winner of the ACC goes to the Sugar to play the SEC Champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PChamp119 96 Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 The 4 way tiebreaker in the Big East becomes a mini conference: 2 teams are 1-2 and the other 2 are 2-1 (SU and Pitt) SU beat Pitt in the head-to-head SU wins the conference The bowl picks are Rose, Fiesta, Sugar - there are no necessary conference tie ins. Why would the Fiesta take a 6-5 SU team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexbo 104 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 So you are saying the Fiesta would steal the ACC team; and the Sugar, the bowl Auburn is going to be stuck with, has the last choice, and Auburn gets screwed again this year!!???

rexbo 104 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 ESPN said Pitt would probably go if they beat USF, it is by ranking, not head to head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbirdie 0 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 temple beat SU last week. the way i understand the bcs bowls can refuse a team if they do not want them. i think that this would be the case should syracuse win the big east.

tiger88 934 Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 How about this matchup for the ages: Pittsburgh vs. Utah in the fiesta!!!!! I see the big east losing its automatic bid in the offseason. 3 at large bids. Syracuse will not go to the bcs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerinBham 1 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 The ONLY chance that Sracuse has is if Pitt loses to South Florida, and then something else has to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaTiger 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 everything i've seen of late has the ACC champion going to the Sugar vs. the SEC champ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUesquire 1 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Yea, I think the ACC champ will go. The Sugar would definitely push for an ACC team because they'd travel better than Suckacuse. Va. Tech is playing incredible right now and they only have Miami left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,483 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 If Pitt beats South Florida, then they're in a BCS game...but it doesn't matter much because whoever the Big East rep is is going to be the last kid picked for the game.

Tigermike 3,046 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 They didn't ask me, but I think Virginia Tech should go to the Fiesta Bowl to play Pittsburgh and Utah should come to the Sugar to play AUBURN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKCAUB 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I believe that we will play VA Tech, IF they beat Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadillacattack 0 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 When was the last time Auburn ever got what it deserved? Well, not to sound like Puntus, but we-the-fans did after blowing expectations up last season. The media and the fans put way to much pressure , way too fast on the program. JMO, but I expect VaTech to beat Miami. UM's O-line is relatively awful compared to what they have been accustomed to. The team isn't playing with sound fundamentals , especially in the tackling department. Despite Hester, you still give the Special Teams advantage to Va Tech.

AuNuma1 1 Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Winner of Va Tech vs Miami Dec 4th will be our opponent. I'd like to see us play Va Tech...good defenses. Makes the offensive plays that much more exciting. I don't think Miami's defense could hang with us and I know our defense would give them fits.
