***Bowl Projections - Week 11****

I see an eventual BCS switcheroo in terms of Non-AQ schools this week. I think LSU will lose one more and will take them out of the running for a BCS Bowl.

BCS National Championship
Oregon vs Boise State

Rose Bowl
Wisconsin vs Stanford

Sugar Bowl
Auburn vs TCU

Fiesta Bowl
Nebraska vs Pittsburgh

Orange Bowl
Virginia Tech vs Ohio State

And Now for a few second tier bowls, mostly on New Years Day

Capital One Bowl - Michigan State vs Alabama

Cotton Bowl - Oklahoma State vs LSU

Outback Bowl - South Carolina vs Iowa

Chick Fil-A Bowl - Florida State vs Arkansas

Gator Bowl - Penn State vs Florida

1. Records being equal, Mad....

...the Outback will take PSU over Iowa. Could be Paterno's last game. Plus, Hawkeye Nation is devastated by yesterday's loss. The season is being viewed as an outright disappointment which means the fans who buck up for a Bowl game will not this year. Of course, all that can change Saturday.

2. You still have Oregon ahead of Auburn?

After their two-point thrashing of powerhouse Cal? :sarcasm:

3. Looks like BCS does as well. And I think in the end, Auburn loses and Oregon doesnt.

Nebraska gets to play a High School Team...

oh give me a fucking break, they shouldn't even get the Big 12 spot. Just give it to OSU and be done with it, good riddance to the Huskers.

5. Pitt in a BCS bowl is a fucking joke

there should be a codicil in the BCS rules that a team has to be at least ranked to qualify. If your conference is that pathetic, it should be demoted.

Why not do that, btw? Have demotions and promotions the way the Euro soccer leagues do it? If you finish the season without any unranked teams, you get demoted and the next conference moves up.
