BCSCG: Alabama vs. Oregon
Fiesta: Notre Dame vs. Kansas State
Rose: Nebraska vs. Oregon St.
Orange: Florida St. vs. Louisville
Sugar: Florida vs. Oklahoma

FWIW, most boards predict LSU vs. Texas in the Cotton.

I want FSU to beat UF, Bama to beat UGA, and LSU to slip in

Also would love LaTech getting a bid

getting a bid to what, exactly?


I think FSU WILL beat UF. I guess you're hoping that LSU will be in the Sugar? I could definitely see that happening.

La Tech is hoping to get up to #16 and for Nebraska to lose another game for a spot in the Orange Bowl.

I dont see LSU in the Cotton- I think LSU/UF will be Sugar/CapOne.

Unless they announce the Cotton Bowl will be hosting the SEC/Big12 matchup in the future, then the Sugar would take Notre Dame with the first pick.

I think it's aTm in Cotton, LSU in Chic Fil A due to politics and the Cotton wanting the dream match up of aTm Texas.
UGA Sugar
UF Cap one
Notre Dame Rose
OU Sugar

Should wish forOutback instead of chicfila since it's on NYD. Also it's better than playing in that dump of a stadium for the citrus bowl and we've not been in forever

Outback is like the Cotton generally reserved for an East team. It wouldn't surprise me to see Carolina in Sugar over LSU UF UGA due to hotels. I think the Cap One wants UF for a sell out. The Dawgs or Carolina go to a BCS and LSU gets the ACC matchup which should be Clemson.

BCS: Alabama vs Kansas State
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs Clemson
Rose: Oregon vs Nebraska
Orange: Florida State vs Louisville
Sugar: Florida vs Notre Dame

Major assumptions:

1. Alabama, Oregon, Notre Dame, Kansas State, and Louisville all finish undefeated. Kansas State holds position in the BCS rankings nonetheless. That sends Alabama and Kansas State to the NCG, Notre Dame to an at-large and Oregon to the Rose Bowl.
2. Alabama beats Georgia convincingly (10+) in the SECCG.
3. Florida beats Florida State. This keeps Florida at one loss and virtually assures them priority over the other SEC teams for a BCS bid.
4. Bowl schedulers will try to avoid a rematch of any games this year (meaning no Florida State/Clemson or Notre Dame/Oklahoma matchups).
5. Clemson stays at one loss by beating South Carolina.

Adjusting for those assumptions failing... I won't even bother with #1 because that's five undefeated teams to work through. I can if anyone cares but I doubt anyone does lol

If #2 fails, then Georgia takes the SEC's second spot. If #3 fails then LSU probably goes over Florida (unless #2 also fails, in which case Georgia takes the spot as noted above). If #4 fails then you can more or less reshuffle these as you wish. Finally, if Clemson does lose, plug in Stanford or Oregon State for their spot.

Where's that game at? I think UF, Carolina, and UGA all win their ACC rivalry games this year.

I do predict that it'll be Nebraska vs USC in the Rose, a battle of tradional powerhouses.

Wisconsin will be in B1G game also so they can move up. If Indiana wins this weekend you can forget NU falling below Tech though. I don't see how Tech can climb any higher.
