I guess the more I think about it, Baylor is screwed. I would think Clemson would still get chosen over them.
BCS teams prediction
- Thread starter CyclonesForever
- Start date
If I did this right, I've got:
National Championship: Florida State vs. Ohio State
Orange: Alabama vs. Baylor
Rose: Stanford vs. Clemson
Sugar: Auburn vs. Central Florida
Fiesta: Oklahoma State vs. Northern Illinois
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the title game is FSU/OSU, Auburn is locked into the Sugar, Stanford into the Rose, and Oklahoma State into the Fiesta?
Then, Orange gets first pick (Alabama), Rose would be next (Clemson), and Orange picks the last "true" at-large selection (I think Baylor). Then Sugar has to choose either UCF or NIU and would go with UCF. Leaving NIU to the Fiesta.

If the Rose was smart, they would take Clemson, but the whole tradition of the Rose Bowl will lead them to take Michigan State.
In the event that Auburn jumps Ohio State...
Nat'l Title: Florida State vs. Auburn
Orange: Alabama vs. Baylor
Rose: Stanford vs. Ohio State
Sugar: Clemson vs. Central Florida
Fiesta: Oklahoma State vs. Northern Illinois
Stanford, Ohio State, Oklahoma State are locked in. Orange has first pick (Alabama), Sugar has second (Clemson), and Orange gets the last true at-large again in Baylor. Then same situation with UCF and NIU.
So my Orange and Fiesta picks are the same either way. Assuming the favorites all win next week.

Thought about that - what's the rule for at-large picks? Top 12 in the BCS? If MSU loses to OSU next week, they may not be in the top 12.
Totally. Rose will go Big Ten...unless MSU slips out of Top-14.
Then it gets really interesting. Rose would have a pick between Baylor/Clemson.
Got you, didn't think Top 14.
In that case I will revise.
Nat'l Title: Florida State vs. Ohio State
Orange: Alabama vs. Clemson
Rose: Stanford vs. Michigan State
Sugar: Auburn vs. Central Florida
Fiesta: Oklahoma State vs. Northern Illinois
Also...
Cotton: Baylor
Alamo: Texas
Buffalo Wild Wings: Oklahoma
Holiday: Kansas State
Texas: Texas Tech
Does Alabama drop to number 4 in the BCS? Something tells me that they fall to 3, Auburn jumps to 2, and Ohio State falls to 4. I just cannot see the way this game ended, that Alabama would fall below OSU.
I don't think they would. Orange is ACC affiliated. Clemson is closer and will travel more, sell more tickets.
Don't think Oregon is travelling all the way to Miami after falling from National Title hopes and not winning their division.
Pac-12 teams usually don't travel to Florida as much. Lot of warm weather teams already and SoCal is a lot closer/cheaper.
Not to the Orange. The Orange will respect the ACC, not to mention Clemson is much closer to Miami then Oregon.
This is also why I hate the BCS. It doesn't matter as much as to who you lose to, but when you lose.
There is no way Ohio State drops to 4. They will be #2. I actually wouldn't be too surprised to see Bama at number 3 and Auburn stay at #4
All I want is an undefeated FSU and an undefeated Ohio State with Auburn losing in the SEC championship. Only way to guarantee an end to the SEC always winning is for no team to be there. Not sure who I would root for between Ohio State and FSU, probably FSU but I am pretty neutral on both.
What are the odds that rampant SEC campaigning pushes Auburn over Ohio State?
What about if Auburn plasters Mizzou next week but Ohio State goes to OT with Michigan State before winning (for the sake of argument)?
Oh the SEC will propaganda all of it.
It's already started, "Ohio State struggled with a mediocre Michigan team."
No mention of Auburn needing a fluke to beat a mediocre Georgia team.
Auburn will have to be ranked above Alabama. The problem for me is, when comparing OSU to Auburn or Alabama, is OSU the better team?
