The way I see the BCS shaping up if the season ended today:
BCS National Championship: Florida/Alabama vs Texas/Oklahoma
Orange Bowl: Georgia Tech/Florida state vs USC
Rose Bowl: Penn St vs Oregon State
Sugar Bowl: Florida/Alabama vs Cincinnati
Fiesta Bowl: Texas/Oklahoma vs Utah
The at-large bids would be USC, Florida/Alabama, and Texas/Oklahoma. Utah gets an automatic bid.
The selection process works such that:
- the Sugar and Fiesta would first pick replacements for the NCG teams: Sugar taking the loser of Florida/Alabama and Fiesta taking whichever of Texas/OU doesn't make the NCG.
- Rose bowl is set as Big 10 champ vs Pac 10 champ
- Orange gets ACC Champ
then to fill out the bowls the selection order goes Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.
In years past the Fiesta has taken the non-BCS conference at-large/automatic bid plus Utah is close to Glendale so I threw Utah in the Fiesta Bowl.
The SEC has often taken the Big East Champ so I threw Cincinnati there.
That leaves USC going to the Orange Bowl.
Not the greatest matchups, but it's how I see it going.
If I were picking the matchups still following the selection procedure I'd set the bowl games as follows:
BCS National Championship: Florida/Alabama vs Texas/Oklahoma
Orange: Florida State/Ga Tech vs Cincinnati
Rose: Penn State vs Oregon State
Sugar: Florida/Alabama vs USC**
Fiesta: Texas/Oklahoma vs Utah**
** If Florida goes to the Sugar I would have Florida vs USC. If Alabama goes I'd have Alabama vs Utah and USC in the Fiesta.
