BCS Projections
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2006 1:06 pm
I don't know about you guys, but this is what I've got:
Rose Bowl:
Cal vs. Michigan
Sugar Bowl:
Florida vs. Louisville
Orange Bowl:
Tennessee vs. Georgia Tech
Fiesta Bowl:
Notre Dame vs. Missouri (Edit: I put Texas up there without thinking since they are so heavliy favored to win the conference, but don't count the Tigers out of it yet; if they lose to Nebraska this weekend, I'll eat my words, but I think this will be the conference championship game upset of the year like FSU/VT was last season)
BCS National Championship:
Ohio State vs. West Virginia
Okay, okay, this is totally wrong, I know
I assumed Missouri would win this week but Nebraska spanked them pretty good. I'm going to substitute Nebraska for Missouri. I think the Cornhuskers will suprise a lot of people when they win the Big 12. Now watch, now that I said that, the Cornhuskers will blow the lead and let Missouri in the championship game
Also, if there is a major upset of a low-ranked team in the 20s, that would open up the door for a one-loss Boise State team. If they lose a game yet maintain a higher ranking than a BCS conference champion, they go. Which is what I'm afraid might happen if Maryland or Nebraska win their respective conferences.
Okay, so this is my new projections*:
Rose Bowl:
Cal vs. Michigan
Sugar Bowl:
Tennessee (yes, I still think they'll find a way in) vs. Notre Dame
Orange Bowl:
Georgia Tech vs. West Virginia
Fiesta Bowl:
Nebraska vs. Boise State
BCS Championship:
Ohio State vs. Florida
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if we have a 3-way tie in the Big East (West Virginia lost to Louisville, Louisville will lose to Rutgers, and Rutgers will lose to Louisville), it comes down to whoever has the higher BCS ranking, correct? In the end, I think West Virginia gets the bid as co-Big East champions.
