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.

You're probably right, but how can anyone justify not putting Boise State in the BCS if they go undefeated. They already have a BCS win to their program's credit.

I could very easily see the BCS invitees be Texas/Oklahoma (depending on who doesn't play in the Big 12 championship), Florida/Alabama loser, Utah, Boise State. Also, I have to wonder if Alabama gets thumped the way Tech did last night, will Alabama drop out of BCS contention also? That would open the door for USC to get in.

Somebody is going to get royally screwed. It's likely going to be Boise State or USC.

It will be Boise State. Utah already earned an automatic bid. The only way Boise State can get an at-large is if Oregon State loses. Then USC would get the automatic bid to the Rose Bowl and a spot would open for BSU.

Automatic bids:
1. Florida/Alabama
2. Texas/Oklahoma/Missouri
3. Cincinnati
4. Penn State
5. Oregon State/USC
6. FSU/Ga Tech/Boston College
7. Utah

That leaves 3 spots. One will go to Florida/Alabama because the Sugar Bowl wants a SEC team. One will go to Texas/OU because the Fiesta wants a Big XII team. The last spot will go to USC unless Oregon State loses.

I hate Oklahoma, but after last night, they should at least be No. 2.

Florida should get jumped because they played Citadel? I forgot that OU's OOC schedule included powerhouses Chattanooga and Washington.

Well, they certainly didn't play them during the second-to-last week of the season.

Florida usually has a bye before the FSU game. This year they scheduled a cupcake instead of a bye. Didn't know that playing Citadel week 3 instead of week 13 should make such a monumental difference.

Just came out and OU is #2.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 11-23-2008, 12:39 PM

Texas beat OU on a neutral field and they have the same # of losses. I just don't see how you can put them ahead of UT.

How the hell is Michigan State still ranked?
