PS "Buck(eye)s (Beat Texas!! )"
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.
