My weekly look at where teams will go bowling. Since we're just hitting the early wave of bowl eligibility, for my purposes, a .500 record is the cutoff.
This Google doc will be updated weekly for the rest of the season.

I think you have this pretty much spot on...
And I hope you are right about the Sugar Bowl.
ASU in the Rose Bowl? They already have two losses, and unless they win the Pac-12 they're guaranteed to have at least three.
Pitt and Navy play next week so there will be no rematch.

Given the records as they stand now, they're the South Division champion and that's how I based it.
Clemson vs SC rematch? Not going to happen.
Both Texas Tech and Baylor in BCS Bowls? Nah

Pitt better play a better game than they did against Old Dominion or they'll get embarrassed...

The pattern for the conferences with divisions is that the best team that doesn't play in the conference title game is much more likely to get a "second" BCS spot for the conference than the team that loses the conference title game.

Don't count that out. You don't know what could happen with the remainder of this season. I've seen some strange endings to the college football season in the last half century. I doubt I've seen my last strange ending either...

Though you are right and crazy stuff does happen, I discount those because I believe pollsters are waiting to drop Texas Tech as soon as they lose. Baylor has been far more impressive.
I wasn't impressed with TT. WVU should have beaten them. But Holgorsen gave up on the running game when it was working, which gave TT the game at the end...

For being a KU fan, it pained me to do it, but Mizzou's done everything right so far. They definitely denied the rumors of their demise without Franklin, and if they run the table short of an SEC Championship/BCS Championship bid, they more than deserve the spot in New Orleans.
Way off on the AAC autobid. No offense to Houston, they have to come to BHNS and play UCF. UCF has 4 of 6 games left at home in Orlando. UCF has the advantage.

I agree with you, especially after the way Houston played yesterday. They gave up more points to BYU than anyone that BYU has played to date. That doesn't sound like something a BCS bowl bound team would do to me...
UCF lost to a better opponent (
South Carolina by 3), beat Penn State in Happy Valley, and beat the Cards in Louisville...
Now if by some miracle Houston beats Rutgers in Piscataway, UCF in Orlando, and Louisville at Louisville, then you can talk about 'em. But until then, UCF is the front runner, just because of who they've played and beaten, and where they've beaten 'em. UCF's remaining tough games are all at home. UCF's only remaining road games are Temple and SMU. It's just the opposite for Houston...
I'd take Pinstripe vs Notre Dame.
NYC during holidays and a chance at Notre Dame and BK.
