BCS Chances: Pitt

This post is a continuation of 128 Big East Outcomes and explores the 14 0 scenarios (of 128) where Pittsburgh would obtain the Big East's BCS bid. As a reminder, the following is a breakdown of the remaining scenarios by the team that obtains the BCS bid:

Louisville: 37 (28.90625%)
Rutgers: 37 (28.90625%)
West Virginia: 27 (21.09375%)
Cincinnati: 13 (10.15625%)
Pittsburgh: 14 (10.9375%) 0 (0.0000%)

Without further ado, and in honor of the Backyard Brawl, Pittsburgh's chances...



Come on...what did you expect? It's the Backyard Brawl, and it may be the last one for the foreseeable future. There's "no chance" this Mountaineer is helping out a Pitt fan.

We'll wrap up this series with a classic Pitt-bashing quote from none other than Jack Fleming. You know, the great Steelers announcer who called the Immaculate Reception. Well, he was also the "Voice of the Mountaineers," and he grew up right beside old Mountaineer Field. And when he was young, his mother bestowed upon him one of the best lines in Pitt-hating, West Virginia history:
"Son, that's Pitt. You hate Pitt now. You hate Pitt tomorrow. You hate Pitt until the day you die. After that, you will hate Pitt for eternity." 

Let's Go Mountaineers! Beat PITT!

FULL RESULT: 
 Team                            Week 12                         Week 13

SCENARIO 2:
BCS Bid: 
 Cincinnati
EXPLANATION: 
 The following teams are tied for the best conference record in the Big East:
Cincinnati (4-3)
Rutgers (4-3)
Louisville (4-3)
Pittsburgh (4-3)

Within the group, the following teams have identical head-to-head records:
Cincinnati (2-1)
Rutgers (2-1)

In this case, the BCS ranking determines the BCS bowl representative. Several factors including overall record, longest active win streak, and current rankings are used to predict the final BCS poll.

Of those with identical head-to-head records, the following teams are also tied for best overall season records:
Cincinnati (8-4)
Rutgers (8-4)

However, Cincinnati has the longest winning streak (1 wins) among those teams, and is therefore is most likely to have the highest BCS rating and receive the BCS bid.

SCENARIO 1:
BCS Bid: 
 West Virginia
EXPLANATION: 
 The following teams are tied for the best conference record in the Big East:

SCENARIO 11:
BCS Bid: 
 West Virginia
EXPLANATION: 
 The following teams are tied for the best conference record in the Big East:
Cincinnati (5-2)
West Virginia (5-2)
Louisville (5-2)

Within the group, the following teams have identical head-to-head records:
Cincinnati (1-1)
West Virginia (1-1)
Louisville (1-1)

In this case, the BCS ranking determines the BCS bowl representative. Several factors including overall record, longest active win streak, and current rankings are used to predict the final BCS poll.

West Virginia (9-3)
Cincinnati (9-3)

Rutgers (4-3)
West Virginia (4-3)
Louisville (4-3)

Within the group, the following teams have identical head-to-head records:

Louisville (2-1)

In this case, the BCS ranking determines the BCS bowl representative. Several factors including overall record, longest active win streak, and current rankings are used to predict the final BCS poll.

However, West Virginia has the best overall record (8-4) among those teams, and is therefore is most likely to have the highest BCS rating and receive the BCS bid.

 West Virginia
EXPLANATION: 
 The following teams are tied for the best conference record in the Big East:
Cincinnati (4-3)
Rutgers (4-3)

Within the group, the following teams have identical head-to-head records:
Cincinnati (2-2)
Rutgers (2-2)
West Virginia (2-2)
Louisville (2-2)
Pittsburgh (2-2)

In this case, the BCS ranking determines the BCS bowl representative. Several factors including overall record, longest active win streak, and current rankings are used to predict the final BCS poll.

Of those with identical head-to-head records, the following teams are also tied for best overall season records:
Cincinnati (8-4)
West Virginia (8-4)
Rutgers (8-4)

And finally, the following teams are also tied for longest active win streak:
Cincinnati (1 wins)
West Virginia (1 wins)

In this case, the last option is to use the current BCS standings to predict the final outcome. West Virginia is ranked the highest in the extended BCS standings, and is therefore most likely to have the highest BCS rating and receive the BCS bid.
