They are good…but I'd pick TCU to beat them straight up.

Boise State should get an at large bid, they have a high powered offense. I think they can hang with anyone!! They got screwed last year dont let it happen again!!

Boise State might have the undefeated record and get some of the senimental vote, but at the end of the day, Ohio State will bring in way more cash.

Chad, nice analysis. Thanks for picking up where I left off. I couldn’t bring myself to write anything serious about the BCS any longer.

I think it will be Florida and Oklahoma too. And OSU very well could make it, because you know any BCS bowl would be itching to grab them and their rapid fan base over one of the smaller schools.

A couple things. I think part of the agreement is that the Rose Bowl is guaranteed the Big 10 winner vs. the Pac-10 winner as long as neither is in the BCS title game. So even though the Fiesta gets first dibs on an at-large team, they can’t pluck Penn State or USC.

Even though Florida is a bit behind Texas in the BCS standings pointswise, if Florida beats Alabama, the Gators will shoot up quite a bit. Texas will be idle and many of the people who voted for them, will likely side with Oklahoma, thus bringing Texas closer to Florida. Then Florida’s SOS would spike with a neutral field win over the No. 1 team. And even Florida will cop a few more first-place votes as well.

I see Florida (SEC), Oklahoma (Big 12) and Virginia Tech (ACC) winning their respective conference title games this week. That leaves us with:

BCS National title game: Florida vs. Oklahoma.
Rose Bowl: USC vs. Penn State
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Utah
Orange Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech
Fiesta Bowl: Texas vs. Ohio State

I wonder if the Sugar Bowl committee could snag Texas from the Fiesta? Last year the Sugar was stuck with Hawaii and I bet they don’t want another repeat of last year. Utah is good, but Alabama is much bigger, faster, stronger.
