It looks like the BCS is a little concerned as to what may happen the next couple of weeks: BCS TWEAKS SYSTEM (AP) - The Bowl Championship Series will not count Division I-AA playoff games in determining a team's strength of schedule, which could help No. 2 Virginia Tech and hurt No. 3 Nebraska in the race for the national championship. BCS coordinator Roy Kramer apparently had failed to consider the effect I-AA playoff games would have on the formula used to determine strength of schedule -- one of four components used in compiling the weekly BCS standings. The revision was made last week by Kramer, also the Southeastern Conference commissioner, and he then informed the commissioners of the five other conferences who are partners in the BCS. The issue becomes important because Virginia Tech (10-0) earlier in the season defeated I-AA James Madison, which qualified for the playoffs that start Saturday. A postseason loss by James Madison would have counted against the Hokies. Gary
