Interesting-but remember this is based on the Big 10 getting 2 BCS teams-which would likely be Michigan climbing from 16 to 14 which the expert says is less than 50%. The loser of Big 10 Championship (Michigan St No. 13 v Wisconsin No. 15 would seemingly drop below No, 14 with a loss. Who does the Ticket City Bowl get if Michigan and the Championship loser doesn't end up in top 14. It would be a better team-then perhaps Ohio St or Iowa? Or maybe Penn St drops due to scandal

I have no idea, and what if Georgia beats LSU? Then Bama would have to get relegated to hammering Michigan State or Michigan in the Citrus Bowl. The Big Ten is probably only gonna get 1 team in the BCS. No matter how badly the Sugar Bowl wants Michigan.

Ok, but if Michigan doesn't go the Sugar Bowl and the dominoes fall does that mean Illinois would come here?
There's a Purdue grad that I was talking with and he was hearing Ticket City or Little Caesar's in Detroit.

If LSU gets beat by Georgia they'll still be either 1 or 2 with Bama holding the other spot, 1 and 2 are locked into the title game and the SEC winner gets an auto bid so in this instance alone a conference can get 3 teams into the BCS. Yes, Michigan would be odd man out in that scenario.

It really depends how you line up the dominoes. Ohio State and Penn State could jump teams. The loser of the B1G title game COULD fall all the way to the Gator Bowl. Meaning, probably MSU but that's as low as they are allowed to drop.

Right but the SEC champion is guaranteed a Sugar Bowl bid. Guaranteed. That would be Georgia, if they pull of the biggest upset of the season that is. One conference is only allowed 2 BCS bids. Or so I thought.

1 and 2 are locked into the title game, the SEC will finish with the 1 and 2 teams in the BCS rankings, those teams are guaranteed spots in the BCS title game whether they won their conference or not. The champion of the SEC is also guaranteed a BCS bowl, in this scenario the champion would be a team from the SEC other than the 1 and 2 teams in the BCS (Georgia). If Georgia wins the SEC there will be 3 SEC teams in the BCS guaranteed.
