    Now I know how Boise State/TCU feels...

    In my current 1st year dynasty with Virginia Tech, I am going into my last game of the season against 3-8 UVa in the Battle for the Commonwealth cup, we are ranked #4 and are 11-0.

    I just defeated #18 Miami in their home 27-23 after a 32 yard touchdown strike to Danny Coale with 18 seconds left in the game. Score was 20-16, and they scored on a 4 minute td drive after a toss to Cooper for 6 to make it 20-23, Miami with :56 seconds left. I drive the field and cap off the drive with a touchdown and I stop Miami short on my own 13 yard line from pulling off the comeback... #1 classic game, received score of 1207. I finally believe I have the PERFECT mix of sliders. Jacory Harris threw for 356 yards and 1 td. Cooper rushed for 102 on 24 carries. Tyrod Taylor had 240 yards and 2 tds. Ryan Williams went 109 yards on 21 carries for 1 td.

    Anyways, back on topic. Alabama is #1, Wisconsin is #2, and Washington is #3. Wisc and Wash both have ****ty schedules, yet they stayed ahead of me. In my season I beat Boise State, GT, and Miami, but yet I stay at #4. Will beating UVa and playing in the ACC Championship game be enough to slip me into the National Championship game, or will I get screwed like Boise State/TCU?? Thoughts?

      You'll get screwed. For some reason, SOS doesn't seem to mean anything in the polls this year, as I've been jumped by Washington with VT after beating a ranked team, when they beat some scrub school.

          In real life, schedule strength doesn't matter. But when you beat ranked teams, it obviously helps. I think you'll be screwed.

                  You will be screwed unless two of the top teams lose.

                  Side Note: Alabama lost to South Carolina in the SEC championship in my first year, so you may have a chance there.

                          This is true, but if so, that means washington and wisconsin will move up (unless washington's conference plays for a championship, which i think they do not). I am hoping and praying that either team will fall in this finaly week. I will find out later tonight. Regardless, I have done all that I possibly can to get there. Atleast I should have a shot at the ACC championship (looks like I will be playing Christian Ponder and the 'Noles, should be a barn burner. As it sits, I am playing Ohio State in the Orange Bowl (which is still a prestigious bowl to be in, but damn, undefeated and #4???)

                              Strength of schedule does matter in the BCS rankings.

                                      Everyone says the ACC is weak, I'm playing as Clemson and 35 games in i've played against 18 ranked teams... Pretty weak schedule if you ask me.

                                              The ACC has the most good teams, but no great teams. That's why that perception is there.

                                                  Wisconsin's Big Ten schedule is probably more difficult. Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Iowa, Minnesota, and Purdue. The first five teams are solid contenders in that conference.

                                                  Washington is similar.

                                                  Any schedule for Washington or Wisconsin is just as difficult, if not more, than any ACC team.

                                                  But don't set yourself out. I've made it to the national championship in my 2nd season with a crap team playing a really crap schedule, because teams lost in the last week or in the conference championship game, and there were simply no other undefeated teams other than me and Alabama. Alabama went on to beat me in the national title game. I literally wasn't in the NC game until the last or second to last week, and I surprisingly leapfrogged a team who I would have thought deserved more consideration than me.

                                                  Although in the previous year, I had lined up a bowl game with 7 wins and then got bumped out in the last week of the season for some other team.

                                                          WTF? Yes it does. See OU/Texas/Texas Tech circa 2008.
