Another week, another shakeup in the projections of the BCS Bowls.
This much we know:
- Utah is BCS-bound, with their undefeated 12-0 season.
- Penn State is going to the Rose Bowl after winning the Big Ten.
- Oregon State goes to the Rose Bowl if they beat Oregon on Saturday.
- Unless Missouri wins the Big XII championship game, there will be 2 teams out of Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma in BCS games.
- Florida and Alabama are in BCS games.
Keeping that in mind, where is there wiggle room?
The ACC is still wide open. As for the Big East, Cincinnati has to get by Syracuse, and they will be going bowling.
I am still very interested in Oklahoma State's and Missouri's influences on the BCS picture. If the Cowboys beat the Sooners, then Texas Tech will go to the Big XII Championship game, playing Missouri.
If Missouri is able to pull off that upset, we would see a very unusual event: a team that didn't even win its own conference playing in the BCS Championship game, the Texas Longhorns. Unfair? Probably. Missouri would then go to the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale.
| Bowl Game | Participants | Winner |
| Orange Bowl | Florida St. Seminoles vs. Utah Utes | Utah |
| Rose Bowl | Oregon St. Beavers vs. Penn St. Nittany Lions |
PSU |
| Fiesta Bowl | Oklahoma Sooners vs. USC Trojans |
USC |
| Sugar Bowl | Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Cincinnati Bearcats |
Bama |
| BCS Championship | Texas Longhorns vs. Florida Gators |
Texas |

I think
it will be very very hard for UT to stay ahead of OU if OU wins in Stillwater. The difference is only .084 and a win over a ranked team will certainly be worth more than a win over crappy A&M.
I'm undefeated in fights. Have I been in any? No. Thats because people know my f'ing status. Don't mess with the elite. - Miles

correct, but we must also consider the schedule, and it’s possible that the voters will remember that Texas actually beat Oklahoma already.

sure
I think it probably depends on the type of game that is played since everyone will be watching.
If OU blows out OSU — I think you’ll see OU jump UT. However, if OU struggles to beat OSU and barely wins, I think you could see UT hang on. But, that causes another dilemma for voters about head to head since Tech beat UT. I guess in this scenario we’re assuming Tech’s blowout loss to OU knocks them out of the running…..
I grew up a UT fan and I root for them (only when not playing ASU obviously) because my wife (also an ASU grad) now goes there for grad school. So, I’m certainly hoping they can keep their lead on OU, I just don’t think it’s likely.
Did you notice Feldman (I think) on ESPN predicts ASU to the Hawaii Bowl? Obviously he’s assuming we win out, but he’s the only one I’ve seen to predict that so far.
