Well, its pretty much set now.
The BCS has placed OU above Texas, and by that action, sends OU to the Big-12 Championship game where they will almost assuredly destroy Missouri who got beat by Kansas this weekend.
USC beat Notre Dame, while Oregon State lost to Oregon. This means that USC must only beat UCLA next weekend to lock up its berth against Penn State in the Rose Bowl.
Conference Championship games were decided this weekend also:
BIG-12: OU vs. Missouri
ACC: Virginia Tech vs. Boston College
SEC: Alabama vs. Florida
The BCS now is set as: Alabama, OU, Texas, Florida, USC, Utah, Texas tech, Penn State, Boise State, Ohio State, TCU, Ball State, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State.
If Florida and Oklahoma win, most likely, OU and Florida will be 1 & 2. OU by virtue of winning, and Florida will jump Texas for beating #1 Alabama. If Alabama manages to win, then the BCS stays the way it is now.
This means that its looking more and more like:
National Title: Florida-OU
Rose Bowl: USC – Penn State
Fiesta Bowl: Texas – Utah
Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Boise State or Ohio State
Orange Bowl: Cincinnati vs. Boston College
It’s also looking more and more like a Texas Tech – Mississippi Cotton Bowl.
The rest of the bowls we’ll examine at another time. But this week, bids will begin to fly.
