Bowl Destination

[WVUMntneerJim]

OK, so before Friday's game, I had this figured up...

Scenario 1) If we won our last 2, we're heading to Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl, but Cincy has to beat Pitt

Scenario 2) If we lost to Pitt and beat Rutgers, we'd be heading to Charlotte for the Car Care Bowl

Scenario 3) If we beat Pitt and lost to Rutgers, we'd be heading to Charlotte for the Car Care Bowl or Jacksonville for the Gator Bowl if Cincy beats Pitt

Scenario 4) If we just bottomed out completely and lost our last 2, we'd be heading to Birmingham for the PapaJohns.com bowl.

Scenarios 2 and 4 are not happening now. However, I could have skewed #3 by giving us a shot at either bowl... I think JAX would take sPitt over us, but there would still be the possibility we'd get the Gator due to $$$; however, in the end JAX would take sPitt because they finished 2nd in the Big East. (I know I repeated myself, so sue me. I had too much to drink last night.)

Sooo... is it safe to pack my bags for Jacksonville?

We have to beat Rutgers first.. But a Gator would be AWESOME since it is our last year of eligibity for it. Sportsline predicts us going there and playing Miami.

Yep, I saw that last night on SportsLine!

You did have too much to drink Jim ;D IF we beat Rutgers AND Pitt loses to Cincy, we would be tied for 2nd with Pitt with 2 BE losses, and actually would have an advantage over Pitt because we beat them head to head. And the Gator has the second selection from the BE after the BCS, not necessarily the 2nd place team. I'm sure if it plays out this way we would get the bid over Pitt because the they know WVU travels well.

Those douchebags at ESPN have us going to the Car Care Bowl against Boston College...
