was cruisin through espn.com this morning and finally found their bowl projections. just wanted to highlight a few...
BCS Championship Game -- WVU vs LSU (best two teams in the country right now)
Sugar Bowl -- Georgia vs Hawaii (...do i even need to comment?)
Captial One -- Illinois vs Florida (juice williams should win the heisman)
Rose Bowl -- Ohio State vs PAC-10 2nd place (worst game ever...)
Fiesta Bowl -- Oklahoma vs PAC-10 Champ (might be decent if oregon plays, otherwise ou is gonna roll usc)
I dont know bout you, but a few of those games look one sided to me...also, i cant wait for illinois to be tebow and the gators...

To the writer who is so big on the Big12 that he wrote that WVU would be dismantled by halftime......HAVE YOU LOST YOUR FREAKIN MIND!!!!.....Are KU and MU good yes, but lets be honest 90% of America does not really believe that they are the 2nd and 5th best teams in the Country......Hurry, name 5 players combined on those teams, bet you cant do it (unless you are from Kansas or Mizzu).....Now do not take this the wrong way, they are both good and should be rewarded with good bowls, but dismantle WVU...I laugh just thinking about it.
Resons Kansas is Overrated....
1. 11-0 without playing Texas, Oklahoma, or Mizzu....have not played the big boys
2. Out of conference schedule.....Toledo, SE Louisiana, Central Michigan, Fla. International.....way to go big
3. Oppenents Record......You Ready.....42-70, now take out the 11 losses that they get from Kansas, you get 42-59.....their opponents are not just losing to them, they are losing to everybody.
4. Take the SEC schedule Kentucky played for example:
Arkansas South Carolina LSU Florida Miss. St.
Vandy Georgia Tennessee
Every team has a chance to be bowl eligible......if Kansas were to play that schedule it would be 3-4 losses for sure!
NOW MISSOURI:
I have less problems with MU for 3 Reasons......
1. W @ Illinois
2. Close L @ Oklahoma (The Best B12 team)
3. Dismantled a good Texas tech team 41-10
That being said.....#12-15 seems more reasonable than #5
I think Ive proved my point.....Have a good day

I will do the BCS Bowls predictions...
Championship Game: Ohio State vs West Virginia
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs LSU
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs Oklahoma
Orange Bowl: Virginia vs Kansas
Fiesta Bowl: Boise State vs Arizona State
First of all, I don't think LSU will win out but they will win the SEC against Tennessee and allow Georgia to get a BCS at-large bid. With the type of season we're having, I think OSU and W. Va will slip into a controversial national title. I don't think they are the best two teams but they may be in the right place at the right time. I pick Oregon to still win the Pac-10 and A State will beat USC on Thanksgiving earning a BCS bid. I pick Kansas to beat Missouri this weekend but lose to Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game and still earn an at large bid from the season they're having. I will make a bold pick of Virginia to win the ACC. Have you noticed that everytime Virginia is the underdog (MD, Wake, Miami) they find some way to win. They are underdogs at home against Va Tech this weekend and if they win there, they will be underdogs again against BC for the ACC championship. Boise State will beat Hawaii and somehow find their way back into the Fiesta Bowl.

um I think you are mistaken... how long have you been following football?
The Rose Bowl always features the Big Ten champ against the Pac Ten champ(unless the Rose Bowl was being used for the National Championship game[in recent years] or if either conference champ qualifies for the National Championship game)...
I think you are an Illinois fan... hopefully they beat Florida if that is the match-up...
West Virginia in the title game? how is that projected? I don't think it will happen...
EDIT: Hawaii did NOT choose to have the weakest schedule... NO ONE wants to play Hawaii... Michigan turned down a visit from them for this season(and lost to a 1-AA school anyway)... Michigan State pulled out of a deal to play in Hawaii this year... even USC turned them down...
Who's afraid of Hawaii??

Rose Bowl - Big 10 champ vs. Pac 10 #2???? Follow college football much? Hey why not make it Rose Bowl - ACC #3 vs Big 12 #4.

The Pac Ten champion cannot play in the Fiesta Bowl. If the Pac Ten champion is not picked to go to the national championship game, then that team goes to the Rose Bowl as the host team.
As for West Virginia getting into the title game, it's not that difficult, as they're sitting at #3 in the BCS. Simply win out and have either LSU lose one or their last two, or have the Kansas/Missouri winner lose in the Big XII title game. WVU has both games left at home, and should they get past UConn, they should have no problem with Pitt.

All of those bowl games and you didnt mention MU or KU once?
Funny. You must be a teenager.
By the way, any of the ranked Big 12 teams right now would dismantle WVU by halftime. Figures that you would take pride in a team who is long known to have half of their roster unable to read or write ; )

Those look to be likely matchups but the season has been a twilight zone of irony already... who knows?
Tebow? Tsk, tsk. Overrated, media darling.

I don't agree with Hawaii going to a BCS bowl. They CHOSE to have the weakest schedule in all of the NCAA, and even if they win every game by 200 points, they don't deserve the money or the recognition.
