On October 30th I wrote the following (normally I'm not one to toot my own horn, but this was too good not to):
The teams that benefited most from this loss? That would be the two undefeated Big East teams West Virginia and Louisville who face each other on Saturday. The winner of this game will then need to get by undefeated Rutgers (Yes, you read that right, undefeated Rutgers) to insure a spot in the BCS Championship Game. Rutgers could easily throw a monkey wrench into either Louisville or West Virginia's plans to get to Glendale. If some very strange scenarios develop, Rutgers could be knocking on the BCS Championship Game door if they win the Big East and are undefeated. So who's rooting for Rutgers? That would be the numerous 1 loss teams such as #4 Florida, #6 Auburn, #7 Texas, #8 USC, #9 Notre Dame, #10 Cal, #11 Tennessee and #13 Arkansas. Should Louisville or West Virginia both stumble and have 1 loss apiece, I'd put my money on the winner of the SEC going to face the winner of the OSU vs. Michigan showdown for the BCS Championship. Isn't college football great?
Yes, college football is great. Last night Rutger's was able to pull off the biggest win in school history and is in the drivers seat to win the Big East title. It will be interesting to see what happens this weekend in the remainder of the games, but for Rutgers to have a shot a MNC (Mythical National Championship) they need help. Those one loss teams that I mentioned last week have to be thrilled with Louisville losing. One again the door has swung wide open for a handful of teams to have a shot at the MNC. Which team will walk through that threshold?
