These "extremely close" plays are why we are paid the big Buck(eye)s (Beat Texas!! ).

Therefore if A-HC made his request for a TO before the B1 knocked the ball lose from A1's hands it does not matter if the T's whistle is after B1 knocks the ball loose because A-HC's request for a TO was made while the ball was still in control of A1.

It doesn't even matter if the request was made AFTER B1 knocked the ball loose. Once the Lead blows the whistle and grants the request, the application of the rules is the same.

The BCS is a total sham. The #10 team gets an at-large bid over the #9 ranked team??? That's a joke.

I agree with you 100% that once the L put air in the whistle and grants the TO, Team A gets its TO. I was trying to address the issue of two things that happen almost instaneously.

And as far as the BCS is concerned, NCAA Div. I-A needs a playoff.

Agreed. I know that both of us have watched many 1-AA postseason games. Nevada played at that level until the mid-90s. I even recall the year that YSU came out here and beat NV on their way to winning the championship. NV missed a 29 yard FG on the final play that would have won it.

I'm also an OSU fan, but BSU is more deserving in every way this year of the BCS bid. I believe that the higher ranked team has to get the nod. They are 12-0. What else could they have done?
The real unfairness is financial. OSU now gets about $10 M, while BSU will get around one. This continues to keep the little guy down and the big conference teams on top.

The only other team who can argue that they deserve to go and isn't is Texas Tech, and that is only because the BCS has a rule against three teams from the same conference making it and there are two super teams in their league, one of which they defeated!

Is that $10 Million for The Ohio State University after the total is shared with the rest of the Big 10-or-11?
Does Boise State have to share their "around one" (million) ?

Even if you dont grant the time out, since the ball is dead and the clock is stopped the team could always request another one.

Good call.

That is not correct. The TO has to be granted in the first place because the L did indeed grant A-CH's request for a TO.

#9? Who did they play to get #9....NOBODY....just one ranked team....with a 5 point win. The only reason they're #9 is because the didn't play anyone. As other teams lost, they crept up....not because they impressed...just because they didn't schedule anyone that could beat them. If they'd scheduled a few more top 20 teams and won, they'd have been in. But would they have won? We don't know, they didn't schedule them. SOS matters.

As for #10....5 ranked opponents.

Doesn't seem like a joke to me.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. I just added the cheer for the Buckeyes because the BCS Bowl Games Announcement show had just ended and I was happy that the Buckeye made it back to a BCS Bowl Game. I think that we can all agree that the BCS leaves a lot to desire but this is no place to debate it. And besides, does it really amount to a hill of beans about who should go where and when.

MTD, Sr.


P.S. Go Buckeyes!! Beat Texas!!

[Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.]

Ain't I a stinker.

Maybe we could have a poll?
