gopokes Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Jsut finished my regular season with Wyoming and I went 9-3 (6-2) good enough for a tie for the conference championship. So I'm thinking we got a bowl game, so I go to the weekly schedule screen and sure enough there I am. The only problem is that I noticed that I'm playing Utah a conference foe in the Las Vegas Bowl, not only that but Air Force is playing UNLV in the Poinsettia Bowl and TCU is playing CSU in the Emerald Bowl. I know this is way out of wack conference foes should not face each other in a bowl game. Anybody know what the deal is with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Kaputnik Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 What if the conference rivals are #1 and #2? They would face each other in that situation, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooleyvol Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 This could happen, but its VERY unlikely. With most conferences having championship games now, it is a very rare possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Yes they would face if #1 and #2. I haven't checked that detail in the game, but there are never more than 2 teams from the same conference in the GDCS bowls, right? That's against the rules. Anyway, #1 and #2 trumps everything. This would probably have to be a situation with Big Ten teams that didn't play each other, realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Rule Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Theoretically it could happen with two teams from the same division of their conference. Assume this year IRL Texas Tech had lost only to Texas. Further assume that nobody else goes unbeaten, and based on SOS and human rankings that Texas Tech wound up #2 (a reach, but not a horribly long one). It could also happen as a rematch of a conference championship. Say you have Georgia and LSU go through their season undefeated and match up as #1 vs #2 in the SEC title game. If #2 wins by a very small margin, and no other undefeated teams exist, there's a real possibility that they remain the top two teams. Ultimately though, if it's not a #1 vs #2 matchup, we shouldn't get conference re-matches (I believe this is already fixed), nor should we get other nonconference re-matches. I know sometimes it happens (I remember Miami/FSU happening recently) but not real often as bowl committees really don't like to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyDog Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I saw that scenario in a test career with BBCF. LSU and Florida entered the SECCG #1 and #2, and both undefeated. #2 Florida won (24-23 or something like that) and they switched in the rankings and met again in the championship game.

SkyDog Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Oh yeah...I haven't seen it happen other than in the championship game in any recent builds, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
