Revised Bowl Predictions: Someone's Not Going to the BCS Anymore:

Busy week of traveling at HTF; the much-awaited, all-too-accurate prediction of Friday's game should be in by Thursday morning. In the meantime, here's some revised bowl predictions to hold you over:

PetroSun Independence: Kansas State vs. Alabama
Pacific Life Holiday: Texas A&M vs. California
Alamo: Nebraska vs. Purdue
Chick-fil-A: Virginia Tech vs. Tennessee
AT&T Cotton: LSU vs. Oklahoma

Bubis, something tells me we'd have trouble making the 10 AM kickoff.

Outback: Auburn vs. Penn State
Toyota Gator: Rutgers vs. Boston College
Capital One: Florida vs. Wisconsin
Rose: USC vs. West Virginia
Tostitos Fiesta: Texas vs. Boise State
FedEx Orange: Georgia Tech vs. Louisville
Alltel Sugar: Notre Dame vs. Arkansas
BCS Championship: (2) Michigan vs. (1) Ohio State

Yes, yes, a rematch exactly fifty days later. I'm actually a fan of this; it gives any one-loss team hope by setting a precedent that makes the timing of a loss more subjective in a sometimes-too-objective system. Remember Florida/FSU back in 1996? Well, the BCS will demonstrate that it's perfectly capable of recreating that situation. Also, I totally want to hear about Bo Schembechler for the entire month of December.
