If Auburn wins against Alabama, but loses to South Carolina (or if they lose to Alabama also).

Would it be fair to say that the BCS match-ups would look like this?

BCSNCG Oregon/TCU
Rose Stanford/Wisc
Sugar USCe/tOSU
Fiesta LSU or Auburn/Big12 Champ
Orange ACC Champ/Big East Champ

This of course is hypothetical, and assuming Boise doesn't jump TCU in the BCS poll

not really, why would the Orange bowl take a Big East team over an SEC team? They pick before the Fiesta.

Then swap those two bowl match-ups, I thought the Fiesta had a pick before the Orange, was mistaken.

The Big10 and SEC are getting 2 teams in. If Boise/TCU end up in the national title game I don't think the other gets in bc the Rose will go Big10/Pac10

You're leaving Boise out of BCS totally?

Don't you get an automatic bid if you're in the top 4 or did that rule get changed?

The Big East Champ always plays in the Orange, SEC Champ in Sugar, Big 12 Champ in Fiesta, and PAC 10 and Big 10 play in Rose. If the one of those conference champs play in the BCSNC a at large play in their place at that respective bowl

It's possible that Boise could be left out entirely, but with the BCS facing legal action left and right, they'll probably pull a few strings and get Boise at least in a BCS bowl if not the NCG.

I was just giving you a hard time bro.

But yes, only 1 non AQ gets an auto BCS spot, so it is possible that either Boise or TCU could go unbeaten and get left out.

The Big East has no specific Tie in, neither does the ACC. Not like the SEC does with the Sugar Bowl.

It is possible, but the backlash would be HUGE.

Boise and TCU should have to play each other for the right to go to a BCS bowl
