Houston's BCS Hopes May Be Helped in Starkville

[615dawg]

With Houston's win over a top 5 team in Oklahoma State, Houston has two BCS opponents remaining: at home against Texas Tech and at MSU.

Our schedule from hell will give Houston a boost in the BCS standings if they can beat us by 21+. We may play four teams this year that end up in a BCS game. (Florida, Houston, Georgia Tech and Alabama/Ole Miss/LSU). Let that soak in for a second.

But didn't Houston beat us something like 65-0 one time? Was that the Tech and 10 year?

"After flopping miserably in its first two games, both losses, Houston was up to its old tricks. Faced with the perennial patsy of the SEC-Mississippi State-the Cougars kept the Astrodome scoreboard blinking like a pinball machine, running the score all the way up to 74-0. Sophomore Quarterback Gary Mullins (whose nickname, of course, is Moon) completed five of six passes in the first half."

I think it was the worst loss in school history.

It would help their RPI if this were basketball, but i don't see how it will do much to help their BCS ranking.

that comprise a third of the BCS rankings are basically RPI-based. One actually uses 50% opponents strength of schedule.
