That left WVU and Rutgers as two possibilities, and of course, the hype machine took Notre Dame. What a bunch of BS. Notre Dame would have finished 4th in the Big East this year.

I read on the Foxsports website someone wrote "well if ND's opponents had the same academic standards as we do they would have just as tough a time"... no offense to ND, as I think it is fine academic institution, but why don't we compare Notre Dame to it's opponents on difficulty of admissions:

Georgia Tech: equal.
Penn State: equal.
Michigan: Michigan.
Michigan State: Notre Dame.
Purdue: close, but I'll say Notre Dame.
Stanford: Stanford.
UCLA: UCLA.
Navy: Navy.
UNC: probably UNC, but I'll say equal.
Air Force: don't know.
Army: Army.
USC: equal

Don't put yourself on a pedestal unless you expect to get knocked down.

Phil--I can't find on the BCS web site where is states only two teams from a conference can go to a BCS game. Here is a link to what the BCS web site says the rules are.
