There have been some pretty prominent programs that have won that bowl in the last few years-- USC, Va Tech, Cal.
So who are the BCS teams now?
ACC: Clemson
Big East: West Virginia
Big Ten: Wisconsin
Big 12: Oklahoma State
Pac-12: Oregon
SEC: LSU
At-larges: Alabama, Stanford, _______, ________
Let's assume OSU doesn't jump 'Bama (God I hope I'm wrong).
Rose: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Fiesta: Oklahoma State vs. ________
Orange: West Virginia vs. Clemson
Sugar: ________ vs. _________
Nat'l championship: LSU vs. Alabama
I think the Sugar would get first pick of the at-larges since they are losing their conference (SEC) to the title game. But I'm not sure.

YOu are correct Sugar gets first pick. I also believe that the Big east champ is not locked into the Orange bowl.
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

My predictions:
BCS NC: LSU vs. Okie St
Fiesta: Stanford vs. KSU
Rose: Oregon vs. Wisky
Sugar: Bama vs. VT
Orange: Clemson vs. WV
At least what I'm hoping for. I think Baylor passes Michigan, putting Mich at #17. I think Mich St stays ahead of them since it was close and MSU beat Mich head to head. I think Mich only passes Houston and Georgia, putting them at #15.
Your saying that Southern Miss and TCU don't get into top 16 correct?
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
If you look at the BCS standings, who are they going to jump?Your saying that Southern Miss and TCU don't get into top 16 correct?
