1-PAC 10-Pacific Athletic Conference(36.3): Bowl Record: 3-2

Stanford Pacific 10 91 1W-10L Oregon/San Jose St./Navy/Washington St./UCLA/Notre Dame/Arizona/Arizona St./USC/Oregon State

USC has to beat arch-rival UCLA to make the BCS title game. California, Oregon State, Oregon, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State and Washington State have spots for the Sun, Emerald, Las Vegas and Hawaii Bowls. The PAC 10 has 8 Bowl Eligible teams.

2-SEC-Southeastern (37.25): Bowl Record: 3-3
Florida Southeastern-E 5 11W-1L Auburn
Tennessee Southeastern-E 10 9W-3L Florida/LSU/Arkansas
Georgia Southeastern-E 18 8W-4L Tennessee/Vanderbilt/Florida/Kentucky
South Carolina Southeastern-E 26 7W-5L Georgia/Auburn/Tennessee/Arkansas/Florida
Kentucky Southeastern-E 36 7W-5L Louisville/Florida/South Carolina/LSU/Tennessee
Vanderbilt Southeastern-E 84 4W-7L Michigan/Alabama/Arkansas/Mississippi/South Carolina/Florida/Kentucky
LSU Southeastern-W 6 10W-2L Auburn/Florida
Arkansas Southeastern-W 7 10W-2L USC/LSU
Auburn Southeastern-W 13 10W-2L Arkansas/Georgia
Alabama Southeastern-W 40 6W-6L Arkansas/Florida/Tennessee/Mississippi State/LSU/Auburn
Mississippi Southeastern-W 81 4W-8L Missouri/Kentucky/Wake Forest/Georgia/Alabama/Arkansas/Auburn/LSU
Mississippi State Southeastern-W 87 3W-9L Tulane/Auburn/South Carolina/LSU/West Virginia/Georgia/Kentucky/LSU/Mississippi

The SEC title game pits Florida against Arkansas. The SEC should get two teams to the BCS under this new format; winner to Sugar, loser to the Cotton Bowl. LSU probably gets the Rose Bowl against Michigan. The Bowl spots open for Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and South Carolina will get the Capital One, Outback, Peach, Music City and Independence as possibilities. This conference will have 9 bowl eligible teams, two in the BCS bowls with the other seven going somewhere. This conference has 4 teams with 10 or more wins.

3-Big Twelve (40.75): Bowl Record: 5-3
Nebraska Big 12-N 20 9W-3L USC/Texas/Oklahoma State
Missouri Big 12-N 38 8W-4L Texas A&M/Oklahoma/Nebraska/Iowa State
Kansas State Big 12-N 42 7W-5L Louisville/Baylor/Nebraska/Missouri/Kansas
Kansas Big 12-N 51 6W-6L Toledo/Nebraska/Texas A&M/Oklahoma State/Baylor/Missouri
Colorado Big 12-N 65 2W-10L Arizona State/Colorado State/Montana State/Georgia/Missouri/Baylor/Oklahoma/Kansas/Kansas St./Nebraska
Iowa State Big 12-N 85 4W-8L Iowa/Texas/Nebraska/Oklahoma/Kansas State/Texas Tech/Kansas/Colorado
Oklahoma Big 12-S 8 10W-2L Texas/Oregon
Texas Big 12-S 14 9W-3L Ohio State/Kansas State/Texas A&M
Texas A&M Big 12-S 21 9W-3L Texas Tech/Oklahoma/Nebraska
Texas Tech Big 12-S 39 7W-5L TCU/Missouri/Colorado/Texas/Oklahoma
Oklahoma State Big 12-S 49 6W-6L Houston/Kansas State/Texas A&M/Texas/Texas Tech/Oklahoma
Baylor Big 12-S 76 4W-8L TCU/Washington State/Army/Texas/Texas A&M/Texas Tech/Oklahoma State/Oklahoma

It looks like the Oklahoma-Nebraska winner sets up a winner goes to the Fiesta with the loser going to the Cotton. The most likely scenario places Nebraska in the Fiesta, Oklahoma in the Cotton and Texas in the Holiday. Missouri, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech should qualify for the Alamo, Insight, Independence, Texas and possibly even the Motor City Bowls. This conference has the most Bowl qualifiers with 9 teams.

4-ACC-Atlantic Coast (40.83): Bowl Record: 5-3
Wake Forest Atlantic Coast-A 16 10W-2L Clemson/Virginia Tech
Boston College Atlantic Coast-A 19 9W-3L North Carolina State/Wake Forest/Miami-Florida
Maryland Atlantic Coast-A 25 8W-4L West Virginia/Georgia Tech/Boston College/Wake Forest
Clemson Atlantic Coast-A 27 8W-4L Boston College/Virginia Tech/Maryland/South Carolina
Florida State Atlantic Coast-A 28 6W-6L Clemson/North Carolina State/Boston College/Maryland/Wake Forest/Florida
North Carolina State Atlantic Coast-A 79 3W-9L Akron/Southern Mississippi/Wake Forest/Maryland/Virginia/Georgia Tech/Clemson/North Carolina/East Carolina
Virginia Tech Atlantic Coast-C 15 10W-2L Georgia Tech/Boston College
Georgia Tech Atlantic Coast-C 24 9W-3L Notre Dame/Clemson/Georgia
Miami-Florida Atlantic Coast-C 44 6W-6L Florida State/Louisville/Georgia Tech/Virginia Tech/Maryland/Virginia
Virginia Atlantic Coast-C 61 5W-7L Pittsburgh/Georgia Tech/Western Michigan/East Carolina/Maryland/Florida St./Virginia Tech
North Carolina Atlantic Coast-C 77 3W-9L Rutgers/Virginia Tech/Clemson/Miami-FL/South Florida/Virginia/Wake Forest/Notre Dame/Georgia Tech
Duke Atlantic Coast-C 112 0W-12L Virginia Tech/Wake Forest/Richmond/Virginia/Alabama/Florida St./Miami-FL/Vanderbilt/Navy/Boston College/Georgia Tech/North Carolina

ACC will play the role of spoiler with no undefeated teams. One team in the Orange, and the #2 team to the Gator. The title game looks to be the Wake Forest against Georgia Tech. Other teams Bowl eligible include Clemson, Miami-Florida, Virginia Tech, Maryland, Boston College and Florida State as the spots for the Peach, Champs, Music City, Meinke, Emerald and MPC Computer Bowls. This conference has 8 bowl eligible teams.

5-Big Ten (45.64): Bowl Record: 3-4; 1 undefeated team
Ohio State Big Ten 1 12W-0L None
Michigan Big Ten 2 11W-1L Ohio State
Wisconsin Big Ten 4 11W-1L Michigan
Penn State Big Ten 43 8W-4L Notre Dame/Ohio State/Michigan/Wisconsin
Minnesota Big Ten 46 6W-6L California/Purdue/Michigan/Penn State/Wisconsin/Ohio State

Michigan State Big Ten 73 4W-8L Notre Dame/Illinois/Michigan/Ohio State/Indiana/Purdue/Minnesota/Penn State

Ohio State is in the BCS title game, and Michigan to the Rose Bowl. Wisconsin gets the Capital One and Penn State gets the Outback with Purdue in the Champs, Minnesota in the Insight and Iowa taking the Alamo. The Motor City will have to fill their spot elsewhere.

6-Big East (47.00): Bowl Record: 1-3

Connecticut Big East 66 4W-7L Wake Forest/Navy/South Florida/West Virginia/Rutgers/Syracuse/Cincinnati
Syracuse Big East 82 4W-8L Iowa/Wake Forest/Pittsburgh/West Virginia/Louisville/Cincinnati/South Florida/Rutgers

If Rutgers beats West Virginia, they go to the Orange Bowl; otherwise, Louisville goes to Miami. This means West Virginia is in the Gator over Notre Dame if they upset Rutgers or in the Sun Bowl if they lose. South Florida, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are going to the Texas, Birmingham or the new International Bowl.

Title game looks to pit Houston against Southern Mississippi. Winner goes to the Liberty Bowl, and the loser to the GMAC Bowl. Other bowl eligible teams may include Tulsa, East Carolina, Rice and SMU to take the Armed Forces, Birmingham and New Orleans spots. This Conference could also grab the Motor City and possibly another spot as conferences may not fill their obligations.

Boise State lands in the Fiesta Bowl against the Oklahoma-Nebraska winner. Nevada and San Jose State vie for MPC Computer, New Mexico or Poinsettia Bowls with a PAC-10 team probably getting one bid. Hawaii has already accepted the Hawaii Bowl bid.
