Wa-hoo-wa?

OSU fell to #7 in the AP poll.  ha!  BCS standings aren't out yet. 

AP also has Kansas still at #4 which I don't agree with.  The Big 12 is a damn good conference and I don't think a team accidently goes 10-0 there.  Are they #1?  Probably not but any team from a major conference that hasn't been beaten yet deserves to be ranked higher than 4th.

Kansas is at 3 because of their schedule.  They don't have a "signature" win yet.  If they win out, they've got a great chance to jump Oregon though.  They'll end up with victories over Missouri and probably Oklahoma while Oregon really doesn't have anyone left to play that'll boost their rating.

and Michigan.

Love you too, snookems...

whose getting their outback bowl tickets? we are penn state!

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Actually, PSU is probably not going to a bowl that good.

Ohio State is still likely to get the Big Ten championship and automatic BCS bid.

As no team is likely to get an at-large BCS bid, the better bowls are, in order:
Capital One - Illinois/Michigan
Outback - Michigan/Illinois
Insight - PSU/Wisconsin
Alamo - Wisconsin/PSU
Champs Sports - Purdue?
Motor City - Iowa?

osu-mich winner still wins the big 10 outright, correct?

[ice grillin you]

none of those secondary bowls are automatic tie ins tho...so penn state because of their fans ability to gobble up tickets better than most could have a worse record than say illinois but go to a better bowl

kudos to psu nation for continually supporting a second/third tier big ten school.

Yes.

That is absolutely correct, but Penn State was just in the Outback last year, so assuming that the loser of the OSU/Michigan game doesn't get a BCS bid, they are likely to end up in the Capital One.  Then, Illinois is likely to get the Outback, since it's rare for a team to go to the same bowl two years in a row.  Plus, I'd think that if Florida gets the SEC bid for it, a matchup against their spurned ex-coach Ron Zook could get some media play.  Also, the Illinois team is exciting with young talent and a mobile erratic QB, and their fan base is actually pretty big.

Unless the Big Ten gets one of the at-large BCS bids, Penn State will be playing a bowl game in December.
