Many of you have asked me for an updated Bowl Projections listing since USC was eliminated from bowl contention recently. [1]

In this week’s bowl projections, I’m still calling Oregon vs. TCU for the BCS title game, Wisconsin vs. Stanford in the Rose Bowl and Auburn vs. Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl. [3]

Along those lines, in some instances we have moved teams around in the pecking order so they won’t return to a bowl they played in last season. [5]
With Alabama’s victory over Auburn, I think the Crimson Tide lands a spot as a BCS at-large team in the Orange Bowl opposite ACC champion Virginia Tech. [3]
Here are my current projections for all 35 of this year’s bowl games which includes the BCS Championship game. [1]
Under terms of the most recent BCS agreement, the first time the Rose Bowl loses a team to the national championship game and a team from outside the Big Six conferences is an automatic qualifier, that team will play in the Rose Bowl. [5]
1) The BCS games that lose their natural tie-ins get the first choices of at-large teams, and after that it goes Orange, Fiesta, Sugar in the selection process. [6]
Meanwhile, Texas will be heavily favored in every game after this weekend’s game at Oklahoma State throughout the rest of the season and if both teams finish with unblemished marks, they’re going to play for the National Title. [4]
For example, teams like Michigan and Florida will be hot properties this season despite having down years because their big fan bases are known to travel well. [2]
Oregon now gets my pick to go to the Rose Bowl and a lot of the other Pac-10 teams get bumped up. [1]
In some situations, other conferences have deals to provide teams if the “original” conference can’t fill its spots; in those instances, the fill-in conference first fills it own bowl slots. [5]
Georgia Tech qualifies as the ACC champion, which has their tie-in with the Orange Bowl. [4]
Only 47 days Until the First College Football Game!!! [1]
