There have been some pretty prominent programs that have won that bowl in the last few years-- USC, Va Tech, Cal.
YOu are correct Sugar gets first pick. I also believe that the Big east champ is not locked into the Orange bowl.
I think Stanford plays Okla St in Fiesta.
Sugar will have choice of
-Michigan (maybe)
-Va Tech
-K-State
-maybe locked in with TCU if TCU gets in top 16
-potentially could choose Houston or Boise but won't
I think its funny that the conference thats closer to the bowl site gets 200k or so more than the longer travling team
Here's the thing Stanford has been slotted into the Fiesta because most assume that the Sugar takes Michigan to draw if they are in the top 14. If they aren't in the top 14 I got a feeling the Sugar takes Stanford with their first pick.
I am pretty sure they are locked in on a rotating schedule between Fiesta, Orange, and Sugar, and this year is Orange for them. If I remember right, the Rose and Orange Bowls are set as of now. Correct me if I'm wrong

No the Big East doesn't have a bowl lock.
The picks go based on Bama being number 2. Sugar, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.
The picks go based on OSU as number 2 Sugar, Fiesta, Sugar, Fiesta, Orange
This link (yes I know it is Wikipedia) says that the Big East BCS bid is rotating and this year it is Orange. I would buy it because last year we seemed to know for some reason that the Big East would be playing Oklahoma in the Fiesta.
If you look at the BCS standings, who are they going to jump?
NCAA College Football BCS Standings Week 14 - ESPN
I don't think they jump anyone who lost today (Georgia, Clemson, Houston, Michigan St.) The gap is too big. If they jump anyone it would be Houston- but how far will they drop, and maybe Georgia. I don't think MSU drops that far since the game was so close.
I just have a feeling that you going to see Georgia and Oklahoma drop a bunch because of the way they lost in blowout fashion. I don't think Southern Miss can get to 16 but depending on where houston falls because they were blown out at home I could see Michigan getting to 14 and TCU getting to 16.
I hope im wrong for ISU's sake
