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

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

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.

Ohio State	Big Ten	1	12W-0L	None
Michigan	Big Ten	2	11W-1L	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

Rutgers	Big East	11	10W-1L	Cincinnati
Louisville	Big East	12	10W-1L	Rutgers

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.

7--Independents (65.00): Bowl Record: 1-1

Notre Dame	Independent	9	10W-2L	Michigan/USC
Navy	Independent	41	8W-3L	Tulsa/Rutgers/Notre Dame

Temple	Independent	117	1W-11L	Buffalo/Louisville/Minnesota/Western Michigan/Vanderbilt/Kent St./Clemson/Northern Illinois/CMU/Penn St./Navy

Notre Dame probably goes to the Gator or Sun Bowls. Navy accepted a Meinke Bowl invitation.

Tulane	Conference USA-W	99	4W-8L	Houston/LSU/SMU/UTEP/Auburn/Marshall/So.Mississippi/Tulsa

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	Western Athletic	17	12W-0L	None

Utah State	Western Athletic	118	1W-11L	Wyoming/Arkansas/Utah/BYU/Idaho/San Jose St./Louisiana Tech/Hawaii/Nevada/Boise State/New Mexico State

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.
