- I see a scenario where VT goes undefeated, wins the ACC, and loses its bowl game.
 |
- The get Wisconsin at home this week. A win there and they own every major tie breaker except with Michigan.
[Photo: Joe can't believe he's still winning either]
Big 12 Champ: Texas
- Like everyone else, I see them rolling into Pasadena.
Big East Champ: West Virginia
- How could we be this late into the season and most Big East members have only played 3 games?
SEC Champ: Georgia
- Shockley's back. Back from outer space. And Tuberville walked in to learn that with a sad look upon his face.
PAC-10 Champ: USC
- Well duh.
Bowl Projections Based on the above.
Rose: USC vs. Texas
Fiesta: Notre Dame vs. UCLA
Orange: Virginia Tech vs. Penn State
Sugar: Georgia vs. West Virginia
Why UCLA? They only get this slot if they are 10-1. Miami and FSU will have 2 losses by then. That really only leaves the SEC to give the BCS a second team. I predict Bama drops to either LSU or Auburn, and the SEC West champ drops to Georgia in the title game. What? Did you think a little setback in Jacksonville was going to ruin my entire outlook on the season?
SEC Bowls

- If Joe Pa can finish his career with a Big 10 Title this year, then great. If he can't win the Big 10, then I hope he finds a way to get Bama in the Citrus or Outback.

Outback: Florida vs. Wisconsin
- This matchup would bore me to tears.
Cotton: LSU vs. Texas Tech
- I would enjoy seeing LSU's defense beat up Mike Leach's QB. When Texas A&M rolled over and played dead vs. Iowa State last week it ended any shot of Bama fans getting their Plan B or C matchup for a bowl rumble.
Peach: Auburn vs. FSU
- Rematch of the cancellation game? If the SEC gets 2 BCS teams *and* if South Carolina beats Clemson, the Peach, SEC and ACC would definitely work to put Bobby Bowden in the Peach with the Head Ball Coach.
 |
Tennessee vs. Michigan
- "Well, I never thought I'd see you here?" said the coaches at the press conference.

Independence: South Carolina vs. Nebraska
- South Carolina fans travel well. They would travel especially well for this one. SC lost two heartbreaker to the Huskers in the mid-80s. They would love to see Spurrier could do to the new watered down Nebraska team.
Houston Bowl: ??? vs. Texas A&M
- I mean really. Does anyone care? The SEC won't fill its bowl slots.
 |
Holiday:
Oregon vs. Colorado
- Rematch of the Fiesta Bowl a few years back.
(Photo: The Fiesta that year was Joey Hypesman's last good game)
ACC Bowls:
Gator:
Miami vs. Louisville
- Rematch of last year's thriller in Little Havana. This would actually be a pretty decent game.
Champ Sports:
Boston College vs. Missouri
- The bad news for the city or Orlando...BC fans don't travel. Period. They probably didn't purchase 3,000 tickets to the Music City Bowl vs. UGA a few years back. Tech fans would love to see a rematch with Nebraska here. But Nebraska gets both KSU and KU to finish the season.

Meineke Car Care: Maryland vs. Pitt
- I had Clemson slotted here, but with the loss to GT last week combined with SC's win over the Vols. The Tigers look like a shaky bet for bowl eligibility.
Boise Bowl: Georgia Tech vs. Boise State
- Tech really needs to beat UVA. If they did, they could get bumped up to the Tire Bowl and watch Maryland take a beating to Boise or Fresno.
Key games for the ACC to fill its bowl slots:
UVA has to beat Georgia Tech
Clemson has to beat South Carolina
Maryland has to beat UNC and NCSU
