re: Stewart Mandel's current BCS prediction

I thought that Boisen Berry State traveled well.
No?

Rose would rather an Wisconsin-LSU lineup or Wisconsin-Nebraska

The Rose bowl would rather Wisky/OSU vs. Stanford, but as of now, the Rose bowl is obliged to take the higher ranked team out of Boise and TCU if they lose Oregon. It sucks, but its the way it works.

Sugar is sitting pretty right now. They will have back to back choices and the full slate of at-large teams as well as AQs (Big East Champion). Basically Sugar Bowl can put in whatever two teams it wanted. LSU is such an obvious choice. I think they pass on Boise myself, however. Boise/Nebraska in the Fiesta would be a better fit for Boise anyways. However, there is a pretty good chance that undefeated Boise could get passed on by ALL BCS bowls, and end up in the Humanitarian bowl.
