Personally, as long as we don't play Purdue or Wisconsin in the Outback or CapitalOne, I'm pretty open minded. My SEC, ACC and other interesting bowls of note predictions are below.

National Title | USC vs. LSU |
Rose | Ohio State vs. Cal |
Orange | Boston College vs. USF |
Fiesta | Oklahoma vs. West Virginia |
Sugar | Wisconsin vs. Virginia Tech |
CapitalOne | Florida vs. Michigan |
Outback | Georgia vs. Michigan State |
Cotton | Arkansas vs. Texas |
Peach | Auburn vs. Clemson |
Music City | UK vs. UVA |
Liberty | UT vs. UCF |
Independence | Alabama vs. Texas A&M |
Texas Bowl | South Carolina vs. East Carolina |
Gator | Nebraska vs. Miami |
Champ Sports | FSU vs. Penn State |
Meineke | GT vs. Rutgers |
Emerald | Maryland vs. UCLA |
Boise | Wake vs. Boise |
Holiday | Kansas State vs. Oregon |
Sun | Louisville vs. Arizona State |
Alamo | Purdue vs. Missouri |
Insight | Illinois vs. Colorado |
Agree? Disagree?
Update: Several questions in the comments along the lines of "Why not 2 SEC teams in the BCS?" Here's my logic.
- -- I don't think UF can beat LSU. I also don't think that UK or SC will win the East. If UF wins the East, they won't make the BCS with three losses. If UGA won the East, I think we'd have two SEC losses and do it via tie breakers. I also don't think we can beat LSU. No three loss SEC team is making the BCS.
-- USF even as an at-large should logically sell a ton of tickets to the Orange. If Boston College wins the ACC, they'll almost have to have an in state team in the game to sell tickets because BC doesn't travel. Period.
-- WVU travels like crazy. Even if they don't win the Big East, they would still be an attractive draw for the BCS.
