Saw some discussion about where Ohio might go if they beat everyone on their schedule and win the MACC.  In recent years we've seen plenty of undefeated teams get snubbed; what would be Ohio's fate?

I'm not naive enough to think that we'll go undefeated.

But I guarantee you that we BCS if we do.

Play in: Motor City Bowl (it still exists right?)

Hope for: Insite.com Bowl by way of the Big 12 (10, 3?) not having enough teams with 6 wins

Would be awesome if: Big 10 (12, 36?) didn't have 3 teams with 6 wins, and we got an invite to the Outback Bowl.

Other Possible Bowl Just for Fun:  Hawaii against a good team from the WAC.

Since it isn't likely, this is all speculation, but as a practical matter, the issue isn't that simple. As some have pointed out, it depends on how good of an Ohio State team Ohio beat, in the hypothetical. It also depends on how convincing the other victories were. Finally it depends on whether there are any dominant MWC teams. Had Boise State and Utah not both been dominant that year, Ball State would have probably gotten the BCS invitation.

they would play in a BCS Bowl, but I think you have to look at other schools first. Boise State will go undefeated in my opinion and thus getting them a spot in the BCS National Championship.

A win over Ohio State in September would generate national publicity and likely have us enter the polls. The real problem would leaping over Boise State and TCU for that BCS bowl spot. If Ohio were the lone unbeaten in country that would likely put pressure on the BCS to take Ohio.  If we don't make the BCS the potential of an unbeaten Ohio beating a 6-6 Michigan team in Detroit would be sweet. A MAC team beating Ohio State and Michigan in the same year while going undefeated would really put the program on a new level and perhaps claim the title as the MAC's greatest team ever.  I'm sure we  would pull first place AP votes from midwest voters in that event.   

I'd like to have this conversation again after the fourth week of the season when we beat Ohio State. I'm not sure if BCS could happen if we beat OSU with the Boise/TCU situation (crazy isn't it?). Another possibility though is Ohio shipped out to a bigger than usual MAC matchup. When Boise didn't make the BCS in 2008, they matched them up with TCU who was also just short in the Poinsettia Bowl. In 2004 Boise played against Louisville (the CUSA champ) in the Liberty Bowl. In my Phil Steele mag, he has 2 of his power sets calling for Houston to go undefeated. I could see Ohio as a 12-2 MAC champ against Houston in the new Dallas Classic bowl. The MAC is a backup for the Big Ten in that game while CUSA backs up the Big XII.

Another item I forgot is happening this year but read an article to remind me.

IF The Rose Bowl loses either the Big 10 or Pac 10 champion to the National Championship game, it MUST take the Non-BCS AQ. So, just saying... The 110 can be going back to the Rose Bowl Parade again!!!
