Past Behavior For The Fiesta Bowl
Past Behavior For The Fiesta Bowl
I took the time to compile a little information on past trends for selections in the Fiesta Bowl in the BCS era to enhance the discussion a little bit.
Regardless of BCS rank, the SEC has sent a team twice, as has the ACC. Notre Dame has gone twice as well. The Big East and Pac-12 have had three selections. The Big Ten has had four selections, and so has the Mountain West. The Big 12 has seen eight selections.
The average BCS rank of a team going to this bowl is 6, with the highest having been the #1 ranked team in years when this has been the NC game. The lowest selection ever to go was a #21 Pitt team, who lost to Utah in the 2005 game. The standard deviation of the ranking is 4, so basically the greatest likelihood historically has been between #2 and #10 in the rankings. Including Pitt, a team ranked #10 or below has only been selected for this bowl five times. Only one selection in the Fiesta Bowl has been unranked - that honor goes to Connecticuit.

I would be interested in a Nebraska v. Texas A&M. Is that possible? (just my 2 cents)

That would be awesome. But it doesn't seem a little far fetched? They are only ranked 21st in the BCS rankings.

You cannot play in a BCS game
You cannot play in a BCS game
You cannot play in a BCS game with three losses unless you win your conference. Stop spartying, please.
All in for some manball.

If we beat Ohio
If we beat Ohio
Everything obviously assumes we beat Ohio, but beating an undefeated Ohio in Columbus will boost our computers a lot. Also not losing at the end of the year may be even more helpful.

That's what I always thought too, but the only win requirements are 9 wins. Nothing about losses, you just have to be ranked Top 14
If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?
