[NU Sports] Can this day get any better???

[Jonathan Hodges]

Not to burst your bubble, but Miami (FL) is looking strong after a big win
over Virginia and looks likely to move up into BCS contention.  Also, Pitt
and Cincy will both be in eligibility range (although they still play each
other, but the loser doesn't figure to fall too far).  And, the Big Ten
could always sneak a second team into the top 14 by the end of the season.

Unless the BCS rankings are so wacky that there are no at-large options in
the top 14 besides the "mid majors" there is NO way any bowl would pick such
a team, no matter what their ranking.  That is a very unlikely scenario to
begin with since a lot of BCS conference teams will have a few more weeks to
move into the top 14.
