Poll question: Which Bowls will TCU and Boise State go to?
The BCS Bowl lineups are pretty much set except for these two BSC Busters. Yes, two!

Championship: Texas vs. Alabama
Rose: Oregon vs Ohio State
Sugar: Cincinnati vs Florida
Fiesta: Iowa? vs ?
Orange: Georgia Tech vs ?

The Fiesta Bowl controls the decision with their first picks over the Orange tonight. The Sugar picks last and will be stuck with low-drawing Cincy.

I would not like to see both go to Fiesta, even though it would match two undefeateds. This would be a rematch of last year's Poinsettia Bowl and they'd have a hard time filling the stadium.

2. How about the toilet bowl?
IMO, neither TCU or BSU belongs in a BCS bowl..

5. I want to see Boise State in the Championship Game.
They are undefeated two seasons in a row now. Either they need to play a team that can beat them, or they need the chance to prove they can beat anyone. Either way, match them to Alabama (or Texas).

3. Agree with you, El.
Fiesta: Iowa-Boise. I'll be very surprised in a TCU-Boise match-up. Does not make economic sense. Plus there's a ton of retirees from the Hawkeye state in AZ. Not to mention the snowbirds. Iowa-Boise would fill that staadium.

6. Hold everything! It could be Penn State and not Iowa.
Penn State is ahead of Iowa in the USA Today poll. We're waiting on the Harris poll. Last week Penn State was ahead there too. But the computer rankings were solidly in Iowa's favor. Both teams were idle this week.

But the bowls can choose from the top 14 in the BCS rankings so that may not rule out Iowa. Both would be a good draw in the Fiesta.
