Even worse, if Oregon loses in their final game at Oregon State, which is likely, then Oregon will likely drop out of the top 25 and the Broncos will be undefeated, but without a win over a ranked team.

My predictions will only change if Oregon State loses in the next two weeks, dropping them out of a Pac-10 Championship and out of the Rose Bowl opening up one more spot for the divine heir, Ohio State, to fulfill their role and lose in the Fiesta or Sugar Bowl.

If Utah loses its final game against BYU, then Boise State will automatically claim their spot. In this scenario the big loser is the Mountain West conference by losing a team representative from a BCS game and a potential $8.75 million payout (half of the predicted $17.5M to be split).

The teams I have picked to represent the SEC and the Big 12 may change due to the final games of the season and the conference championship games, but the bowls featuring Alabama and Florida will likely be filled by the top two SEC teams at the end of the season. The bowls featuring Texas and Texas Tech will be filled by the top two Big 12 teams at the end of the season.

What I have attempted is to read the minds of those making the decisions. These are not the games I would put together; rather, the games I predict will take place. My main resource was Yahoo! Sports (http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football) and the BCS propaganda home site (http://www.bcsfootball.org).
