I think and always will think that if you don't win your conference, you don't deserve a shot at the Big Taco.
Exactly my picks and my reasoning:
#1 ND vs. #4 Stanford
#2 Alabama vs. #3 Kansas St.
If we expand to 8? I'm using conference champs in top 16 of BCS, then wild cards after that with a limit of 2 per conference (B1G - Wisc, BE - Ville left out as champs are outside top 16 of BCS rankings, but #15 NIU squeaks in)
#1 ND - WC1/IND vs. #8 NIU - MAC
#4 Stanford - P12 vs. #5 Florida - WC2 (SEC#2)
#2 Alabama - SEC vs. #6 Oregon - WC3 (P12#2)
#3 Kansas State - B10 vs. #7 Florida St. - ACC
Go to 16 (my preference). All champs, plus 5 WCs (limit 3 per conference)
#1 ND - WC1/IND vs. #16 Utah St - WAC
#8 Oklahoma - WC5 (B12#2) vs. #9 Florida St - ACC
#4 Oregon - WC3 (P12#2) vs. #13 Boise St - MWC
#5 Kansas St - B12 vs. #12 NIU - MAC
#3 Florida - WC2 (SEC#2) vs. #14 Tulsa - CUSA
#6 Stanford - Pac12 vs. #11 Wisconsin - B10
#7 Georgia - WC4 (SEC#3) vs. #10 Louisville - BE
#2 Alabama - SEC vs. #15 Arkansas St - SunBelt
