Taking a moment aside from the meltdown.

If Notre Dame wins this week and we lose next week (as expected) it could create an interesting scenario:

BCS- Cincy/Pitt winner

Gator - Notre Dame (They can't get enough of the irish, even at 7-5)

Meineke- Cincy/Pitt loser

Papa John's - WVU

St. Pete - Rutgers/UConn

International - UConn/Rutgers

Notre Dame loses.  We go to PJC, IMO.

FWIW, the local tv station here in CT is saying that UCONN is most likely headed to Birmingham.  Not that they know anything more than anyone else, but that;ts their opinion.

Notre Dame lost. At 6-6, they can't go to the Gator Bowl (per NCAA Bylaws)... so:

BCS: Cincy/Pitt winner (I predict Cincy)

Gator: WVU if Cincy wins, Cincy if Pitt wins

Meineke: Pitt if Cincy wins, WVU if Pitt wins

PapaJohns.com: USF

International: Rutgers

St. Peterburg: U Conn

(Remember, U Conn went to Toronto)

The problem is that the conference reimburses travel costs for the bowl game (some formula of a certain number of dollars times miles traveled).  That makes it costly to send us that far north, just to have a northern team head back south.  Not saying it is impossible, but doubtful.

I think we are likely to go to PJC, though St. Pete will want a UCF-USF matchup.  

I think Rutgers goes to Int'l and UConn comes here.  Wouldn't be surprised if we play Auburn in Birmingham.  There's tradition for the Tigers to play there and I could see the PJC lobbying to get them.  Could be any one of Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas, or Auburn.  Ole Miss maybe, but I think the SEC will make sure they slot higher.  Six 7-5 SEC teams to choose from with PJC going last.  

Florida and Alabama go to the BCS.  

LSU goes to the Capital One, though they could pick Ole Miss.  I doubt that happens.

Outback probably will take Georgia (they pick out of SEC East).

The Cotton Bowl will take Arkansas or Ole Miss.  They'd probably prefer Arkansas, though the SEC will likely want them to take Ole Miss.  I bet they take Arkansas.  Besides, Ole Miss was there last year.

Chick-fil-a will probably take Tennessee.

The Liberty and Music City Bowls will likely get Kentucky and South Carolina due to proximity of the fan bases.  

Independence Bowl gets Ole Miss, also due to proximity.

PJC gets Auburn.

So, official prediction from moi:

BCS Title:  UF versus someone (hopefully Nebraska wins and it's Cincy)

Sugar:  Alabama versus Cincinnati (most likely)

Cap One: LSU vs. Iowa (Penn State will get a BCS slot)

Outback: Georgia vs. Wisconsin

Cotton Bowl: Arkansas vs. Nebraska

Chick-Fil-A: Tennessee vs. Clemson

Liberty: South Carolina vs. Houston

Music City: Kentucky vs. North Carolina

Independence: Texas A&M vs. Ole Miss

PJC Bowl: Auburn vs. USF

PJC Bowl: Auburn vs. USF

That would be awesome

Bulls will get spanked badly by an SEC team with time to prepare and singular focus

Agreed. Our OLine will get destroyed and BJ will be scrambling around looking for the big play all day, only to take a huge sack or fumble the ball.
