Ok, trying to learn and thanks to a few dedicated folks who also have learned much from my bud Slowwhand, can someone explain a few things:
1) What determines a "Big" football program?
2) It is (serious question) against the NCAA Rules to subsidize a recruits financing, why do theses big programs get so called top players?
3) How much bigger is say an Oregon or Wisconsin from say Florida or even Maryland?
3-a)These rankings (BCS) are basesd upon beating the so called best teams in the country, correct?
3-b)How would a team(school) thats not a major market have a decent chance against say a USC or Nebraska?(in making the BCS run)
All the various bowls, do certain bowls say go for the top ACC or Top Big east or is it more that a panel votes the (and I am just picking a number here) 32 teams for say the 16 bowl slots?
I ask above question because I have heard teams are "asked" to accept a bid to a certain bowl? (Then a team has to decide whether to hold out for another bowl slot or go for that one being offered)
Thanks
I ask because trying to learn how the whole selection process works!
Thanks
