At first its 8 teams, and then its 12, then its 16, which is why the BCS has no desire to go there because once it grows to 16 teams, you have to share it across the board.

Correct, they beat two Top 10 teams their first two games last year, and vaulted from unranked to like 12 or 13 in two weeks. Unfortunately, they then started losing to teams OOC that they should have beat.
They did recover and win the conference but they didn't really sniff the top 25 again.
Posted: Fri Jun 26, 2009 12:43 pmECU lost to NC State and UVA. If they had pulled off those wins, they might have gone to a BCS bowl. Marshall got jobbed out of a victory against K- State about 3 years ago. Tulsa held its own against OU about three years ago and lost in the last possession.
