11-0 Hawaii Warriors Await BCS Bowl Bid
 |
18 teams, including our own undefeated Hawaii Warriors, are now in play for the 10 available BCS spots after the elgibile teams were identified Wednesday. "This weekend 10 of the top 14 teams in the BCS standings will be playing Saturday and six of the top 14 will be playing against one another," SEC commissioner and BCS chairman Mike Slive said. "In addition, we've got several rivalry games involving teams in the top 14, such as West Virginia and Pittsburgh, USC UCLA and Arizona Arizona State."

It took 13 weeks and every major college football team in America to
lose a game before the University of Hawai'i earned national respect.
The 11-0 Warriors yesterday placed 12th in the Bowl Championship
Series standings, a significant position that could earn the school
millions of dollars. If the Warriors defeat Washington Saturday to
complete an unbeaten regular season, they more than likely would
earn a berth in a lucrative BCS post-season game. A participating
team would earn more than $4 million. The BCS is comprised of five
major post-season bowls. Six berths go to champions of the BCS
conferences — Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10
and Southeastern. There are four at-large spots. A team from a
non-BCS conference, such as Hawai'i of the Western Athletic
Conference, is guaranteed an at-large berth if it finishes in the top
12 of the final BCS standings. Two polls (USA Today, Harris Interactive)
and six computer rankings determine the BCS standings. "If we win
(Saturday), there's no doubt we're in," UH defensive coordinator Greg
McMackin said. "We've won 21 out of our last 22 games (dating to
September 2006). We're undefeated, and nobody else has done that.
We feel fortunate to do it to this point."
