BYU and the BCS


Since its beginnings, the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) has sparked controversy in the College Football world. Being a BYU fan, I go through a love/hate relationship with the BCS.
It is however, not impossible for BYU or any other non-BCS Conference team to break into the BCS in any given year. Utah and more recently Boise State and Hawaii have proven this.
I was looking at the BCS website today, and I looked at BYU's chances of still making it to a BCS Bowl game this year. Though improbable, its still possible... Here you go:
One of the following contions must be must for BYU to get an automatic BCS Bowl game bid:
1. Hawaii must lose and BYU must be ranked in the top 12.
2. USC, ASU, and Oregon must lose and BYU must be ranked in the top 16 (and be ranked higher than each of those three teams).
3. West Virginia loses and somehow ends up being ranked lower than BYU,who must be ranked in the top 16.
Like I said, at this point in the season, it may not be extremely probable, but stranger things have happened, right? (Appalachian State 34, Michigan 32).
