Also, if the above system was used last year (Number in parenthesis is BCS rank):
ACC-VTech (#8)
Big East-Pittsburgh (#21)
Big 10-Michigan (#13)
Big 12-Oklahoma (#2)
CUSA-Louisville (#10)
MAC-Toledo (N/A)
MWC-Utah (#6)
Pac 10-USC (#1)
SEC-Auburn (#3)
Sun Belt-North Texas (N/A)
WAC-Boise St (#9)
At Large 1-Cal (#4)
At Large 2-Georgia (#7)
At Large 3-LSU (#11)
At Large 4-Iowa (#12)
At Large 5-Miami (#14)
Thus pairings would look like:
(1) USC v (16) North Texas
(2) Oklahoma v (15) Toledo
(3) Auburn v (14) Pittsburgh
(4) Texas v (13) Michigan
(5) Cal v (12) Iowa
(6) Utah v (11) LSU
(7) Georgia v (10) Louisville
(8) VTech v (9) Boise St
The last team that would have missed out on an at large bid would be #14 Miami who was 8-3 and a #15 Tenn who was 9-3 in favor of #12 Iowa who was 9-2. For 2004, the only 2 or less loss teams that would have been left out would be Wisconsin (#17) and Navy (N/A).
