NCG- #1 Florida vs. #2 Texas Sugar- Alabama (at-large) vs. TCU (at-large) Rose- Oregon (Pac-10) vs. Ohio State (Big 10) Orange- Georgia Tech (ACC) vs. Cincinatti (Big East) Fiesta- Notre Dame (at-large) vs. Iowa (at-large)
Remember that if the NCG is Florida vs. Texas, the Sugar gets the first at large and the Fiesta gets the second at large. The Florida/Bama loser in the SEC CCG will almost definitely be going to the Sugar. I predict Notre Dame to win out and they are a lottery ticket for any bowl game, which will send them to the Fiesta. I predict Oregon and Ohio State to win out and so the Rose will be the traditional Pac-10 vs Big Ten game, and all old people will be happy. Cinci wins out and is left out of the NCG, and plays a GA Tech team that wins the ACC CCG and play eachother in the Orange because of conference affiliation. Iowa gets the nod in the Fiesta because of a bigger fan base and a greater appeal than Boise, and TCU goes to the Sugar because of AQ and the last one chosen.
One thing I would love to see though, is TCU getting the nod at the Fiesta and USC coming to the Sugar to play some legit SEC talent.
Miami might be able to sneak in as an at-large as well. Remember, being in the top 12 qualifies you as an at-large. Bowls don't care about matchups they care about fan bases. So before you Boise fans of three years get on complaining, realize that TCU has just as good a resume, and an equal fan base. Only one mid major will be getting in until BYU starts back up.
Fascinating... BUT what if the OSU beats BOTH PSU and Iowa and GOES to the ROSE.... GREAT NEWS for USC who will play the Big EAST winner (likely a Higher ranked TEAM!!) NOT soo GOOD for ND who JUST might WIN out (needs to beat Pitt in the WORST way)
Simply if USC wins out.. versus ASU (Tempe).. then HOME games Stanford, UCLA and Arizona.. It will be a TOP 10 and will draw the Fans to Pack Univ Of Phoenix Stadium!!!
Second AT LARGE will be USC.. NO DOUBT.. not BCS Buster TCU!!!!
Iowa (after its LOSS to the OSU) NOT the pick of FIESTA BOWL... TRUST ME!
In that scenario (yurs) i see Sugar selecting USC over TCU.. WAY OVER... We will get our SEC versus USC Match up in a BCS BOWL!!!
Not going to happen. How do you have Ohio St winning the Big Ten? They have to win at Penn State and then against Iowa, and OSU has not looked good versus any D1 A team so far. It is going to be...
Ntl Champ- Florida vs Texas Rose- Oregon vs Iowa Sugar- Alabama vs TCC Orange- Penn St. vs Georgia Tech Fiesta-Cincinnatti vs Boise if ND loses to Pitt, ND if Pitt beats Boise
I am predicting the Ohio State to win out and make the Rose. I think Penn St is lacking this year and Iowa will drop to tOSU at home. And I am saying that the second at large will be Notre Dame, the biggest draw in college football. TCU will be last pick because no one wants the buster team. But the Big Ten travels well and I can see Iowa doing that, but I would definitely rather see USC traveling to the Sugar which is a possibility.
No way, no how any bowl takes a second non-BCS team. They aren't a big enough draw and if ND is available they WILL be taken, much to the chagrin of the nation.
I agree Big Ten will get two teams in, but thats cause I hsee Iowa winning the Big Ten and Penn St not losing at home to Ohio St. That would mean PSU has one loss, to Iowa. They would defintley get an at large then, even over a 2 loss Notre Lame.

Ntl Champ- Florida vs Texas Rose- Oregon vs Iowa Sugar- Alabama vs TCC Orange- Penn St. vs Georgia Tech Fiesta-Cincinnatti vs Boise if ND loses to Pitt, ND if Pitt beats Boise
I agree w ith this one. I think you messed up more than the TCC thing though
I do not see Notre Dame winning out. I believe they will get beat by Navy and Pitt maybe even losing to Stanford and Uconn. No way does Notre Lame get into a BCS Bowl. My belief is :
Ntl Champ - Alabama vs Texas Rose - Oregon vs Iowa Sugar - Florida vs Penn St. Orange - Cincy vs Gtech Fiesta - TCU vs LSU
