My BCS predictions.
Sugar - LSU vs. Texas Christian
*Despite Alabama's popularity, it takes a lot for the Sugar Bowl to pass on LSU if they beat Arkansas.
*Texas Christian is close by so it's attractive.
Orange - Pitt vs. NC State
*As bad of a team as Pitt is, I think with Deon Lewis they beat WVU and Cincy and get the Big East berth.
*Upset pick here. NC State controls their own destiny. If they beat Maryland, they go to the ACC Championship. This is where the upset occurs by beating Virginia Tech.
(Note: Just because I live in North Carolina does not mean I am a NCSU fan. I went to Georgia Tech, for the matter and could care less about the Wolfpack...even if I work with a pack of their fans.)
Fiesta - Boise State vs. Oklahoma St.
*Tough call on Big 12 rep..pure guess here.
*Boise State "defaults" to this bowl because of proximity.
Rose - Stanford vs. Wisconsin
*If all 3 Big 10 leaders win this weekend, the one with the highest BCS ranking gets the crown. Wisconsin is currently ranked the highest.
*Stanford is a no-brainer if Oregon wins out.
BCS Championship - Oregon vs. Auburn
*Even if Auburn loses to Alabama, I think they win the SEC title outright and get the BCS Championship berth.
*Oregon will win out despite pesky battle vs. Rodgers brothers.
Sugar - TCU 24, LSU 21 (OT)
Orange - NC State 33, Pitt 13
