Bowl Predictions: 2010 BCS Plus the 29 "Other" Games

With the five BCS games and 29 seemingly irrelevant bowl games the attention on college football now that the always exciting regular season is complete, I've compiled what I believe is a very accurate projection for the 2009-2010 bowl season.

While I'd rather see TCU in the title game (see my other articles), I've kept my opinions and brash predictions out of this article.

Before the bowl games are shown, please note the following:

-The Texas vs. Nebraska winner was picked: Texas

-The Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh winner was picked: Cincinnati

-If a team is not a team from the conference the Bowl indicates, they are an At-Large team

So, with that, use this list as a basis for the actual bowl season. It shouldn't have more than 4-5 alterations based on the research done, final standings, and past experience projecting bowl games.
