Now let's hope we can get some love.

[GoHerd2010]

It's going to be close..Really close

[GoHerd2010]

The BCS rankings that is

[goherd24]

This game in Texas would be a tough one. How crappy would the championship look on TV in front of 3,000 fans inhouston as opposed to 33k+ in Huntington? Someone in the mediabhas to give us some love. Some lobbying going around.

CUSA  has sent a message to the AAC -  your future 3 new teams - all lost to CUSA this week...

ECU - Tulane - Tulsa..........   Now we need to take care of business next Saturday - no matter where we play...

lol...I like

[HaveUherd]

Maybe dshoe can help us.

Game being on ESPN has to help our chances also.

ESPN likes fuller stadiums.

BCS:
Rice 55th
Marshall 65th

Marshall beats #31 by 31
Rice beats 70-something by 3

We will leapfrog Rice...guaranteed.

BCS computer polls are not allowed to consider margins of victory.  And keep in mind, there's 14 weeks of data in the computer polls, not just this week.

It's not likely we jump them in the computers.  We will likely need to get votes in the human polls in the BCS (Coaches and Harris) to host.

Oh yeah... :-/

Guarantee revoked...

Doc and ruffin both vote right?  Were good.

[backontrack]

Just beat' em...if we do play in Houston, we certainly won't have to overcome a loud and nasty environment...it'll be more like the kinds of crowds we've faced on the road during the C-USA regular season...

[biggreenarms]

Based on the better than expected turn out for  yesterday's Friday noon game I think a CUSA championship here on Saturday might just come close to selling out.

[TexasHerdFan]

Margin of victory may not count, but beating a higher ranked team sure does.

[goherd24]

Please let us pass them and this be in Huntington. 33-35k of my closest friends screaming like crazy. Rice would be shell shocked and our players have mostly never seen that environment. WVU 2010 was the last time we had over 30k loud and enaged fans. We had over 30k for va tech but that was one of the quietest crowds I ever remember in the Joan. 35k loud fans would be great for cusa and our boys.

[luvherd]

We were down 15 spots before last week then just 10. Seems feasible.

[Huffnagel]

If we could get the crowd we had friday, plus 4-5,000 students, plus some WVU fans having the rest of the season off, we could reach the 33k easy!

Only concern is that right now it show snows and temps in the mid 30s!

Please let the game be in huntington!
