1-Big Twelve (36.00): Bowl Record: 5-3
Missouri Big 12-N 20 7W-2L Texas A&M/Oklahoma
Nebraska Big 12-N 29 6W-3L USC/Texas/Oklahoma St.
Kansas State Big 12-N 48 5W-4L Louisville/Baylor/Nebraska/Missouri
Kansas Big 12-N 52 4W-5L Toledo/Nebraska/Texas A&M/Oklahoma St./Baylor
Colorado Big 12-N 76 1W-8L Arizona State/Colorado State/Montana State/Georgia/Missouri/Baylor/Oklahoma/Kansas
Iowa State Big 12-N 87 3W-6L Iowa/Texas/Nebraska/Oklahoma/Kansas St./Texas Tech
Texas Big 12-S 5 8W-1L Ohio State
Oklahoma Big 12-S 17 6W-2L Oregon/Texas
Texas A&M Big 12-S 19 8W-1L Texas Tech

Baylor Big 12-S 44 4W-5L TCU/Washington State/Army/Texas/Texas A&M
Oklahoma State Big 12-S 49 5W-3L Houston/Kansas St./Texas A&M

If Texas wins out, they could set up a re-match with Ohio State in the BCS title game or a rematch of the 2005 Rose Bowl with Michigan. Texas plays rival Texas A&M at home. Big Twelve title game looks like the Texas/Texas A&M winner against the Missouri/Nebraska winner. Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Kansas and Kansas State scramble to be bowl eligible for the Alamo, Insight, Texas and Independence Bowls (or even the Gator Bowl if the Big East has two BCS teams) after the BCS-Fiesta and Cotton Bowl berths are decided.

2-SEC-Southeastern(37.16): Bowl Record: 3-3
Florida Southeastern-E 9 7W-1L Auburn
Tennessee Southeastern-E 11 7W-1L Florida
Georgia Southeastern-E 31 6W-3L Tennessee/Vanderbilt/Florida
South Carolina Southeastern-E 33 5W-3L Georgia/Auburn/Tennessee
Kentucky Southeastern-E 66 4W-4L Louisville/Florida/South Carolina/LSU
Vanderbilt Southeastern-E 84 4W-5L Michigan/Alabama/Arkansas/Mississippi/South Carolina
Arkansas Southeastern-W 7 7W-1L USC
Auburn Southeastern-W 8 8W-1L Arkansas
LSU Southeastern-W 13 6W-2L Auburn/Florida
Alabama Southeastern-W 24 6W-3L Arkansas/Florida/Tennessee
Mississippi Southeastern-W 79 2W-7L Missouri/Kentucky/Wake Forest/Georgia/Alabama/Arkansas/Auburn
Mississippi State Southeastern-W 92 2W-7L Tulane/Auburn/South Carolina/LSU/West Virginia/Georgia/Kentucky

The SEC title game looks to pit Florida or Tennessee against Arkansas, Auburn or even LSU. The SEC could get two teams to the BCS under this new format; winner to Sugar, loser to Rose, Fiesta or Orange much to the chagrin of the Cotton Bowl. The Bowl spots open for Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina will depend on what those top 5 teams do after the Sugar, Cotton and other BCS spot are decided. The Capital One, Outback, Peach, Music City and Independence are all possibilities.

3-PAC 10-Pacific Athletic Conference(40.03): Bowl Record: 3-2
USC Pacific 10 6 6W-1L Oregon State
California Pacific 10 14 7W-1L Tennessee
Washington State Pacific 10 23 6W-3L Auburn/USC/California
Oregon State Pacific 10 25 5W-3L Boise State/California/Washington St.
Oregon Pacific 10 27 6W-2L California/Washington St.
Arizona State Pacific 10 37 5W-3L California/Oregon/USC
Washington Pacific 10 42 4W-5L Oklahoma/USC/Oregon St./California/Arizona St.
UCLA Pacific 10 43 4W-4L Washington/Oregon/Notre Dame/Washington St.
Arizona Pacific 10 61 3W-5L LSU/USC/Washington/UCLA/Oregon St.
Stanford Pacific 10 106 0W-8L Oregon/San Jose St./Navy/Washington St./UCLA/Notre Dame/Arizona/Arizona St.

USC-California winner gets the Rose Bowl; loser is in the Holiday Bowl unless the PAC-10 gets two in the BCS. Cal to the Rose and USC to the Sugar, Fiesta or Orange if USC beats Notre Dame. The Oregon-Oregon State, Arizona-Arizona State and Washington-Washington State winners will determine the spots for the Holiday, Sun, Emerald, Las Vegas and Hawaii Bowls.

4-Big Ten (43.09): Bowl Record: 3-4; 2 undefeated teams
Ohio State Big Ten 1 9W-0L None
Michigan Big Ten 2 9W-0L None
Wisconsin Big Ten 10 8W-1L Michigan
Iowa Big Ten 34 6W-3L Ohio State/Indiana/Michigan
Penn State Big Ten 41 6W-3L Notre Dame/Ohio State/Michigan
Purdue Big Ten 46 5W-4L Notre Dame/Iowa/Wisconsin/Penn St.
Minnesota Big Ten 65 3W-6L California/Purdue/Michigan/Penn State/Wisconsin/Ohio St.
Indiana Big Ten 68 5W-4L Southern Illinois/Connecticut/Wisconsin/Ohio State
Illinois Big Ten 70 2W-7L Rutgers/Syracuse/Indiana/Iowa/Ohio Univ./Penn State/Wisconsin
Michigan State Big Ten 73 4W-5L Notre Dame/Illinois/Michigan/Ohio St./Indiana
Northwestern Big Ten 80 2W-7L New Hampshire/Nevada/Penn State/Wisconsin/Purdue/Michigan State/Michigan

It looks like the winner of Michigan-Ohio State in Columbus has the best chance of making the BCS title game; the loser should still qualify for a second BCS game: Fiesta, Orange, Rose or Sugar. Wisconsin and Iowa look to get the Capital One and Outback bids with Purdue, Penn State, Michigan State and Indiana looking to be Bowl eligible to take the Alamo, Champs, Insight and Motor City spots.

5-ACC-Atlantic Coast (44.00): Bowl Record: 5-3
Boston College Atlantic Coast-A 16 7W-1L North Carolina State
Wake Forest Atlantic Coast-A 22 7W-1L Clemson
Clemson Atlantic Coast-A 28 7W-2L Boston College/Virginia Tech
Maryland Atlantic Coast-A 30 6W-2L West Virginia/Georgia Tech
Florida State Atlantic Coast-A 35 4W-4L Clemson/North Carolina State/Boston College/Maryland
North Carolina State Atlantic Coast-A 62 3W-5L Akron/Southern Mississippi/Wake Forest/Maryland/Virginia
Georgia Tech Atlantic Coast-C 21 6W-2L Notre Dame/Clemson
Virginia Tech Atlantic Coast-C 26 6W-2L Georgia Tech/Boston College
Miami-Florida Atlantic Coast-C 32 5W-3L Florida State/Louisville/Georgia Tech
Virginia Atlantic Coast-C 59 4W-5L Pittsburgh/Georgia Tech/Western Michigan/East Carolina/Maryland
North Carolina Atlantic Coast-C 77 1W-7L Rutgers/Virginia Tech/Clemson/Miami-FL/South Florida/Virginia/Wake Forest
Duke Atlantic Coast-C 108 0W-8L Virginia Tech/Wake Forest/Richmond/Virginia/Alabama/Florida St./Miami-FL/Vanderbilt

ACC will play the role of spoiler with no undefeated teams. One team in the BCS, and the #2 team to the Gator unless Notre Dame get the nod for the Gator. The title game looks to be the Boston College/Clemson/Wake Forest against Georgia Tech. Other teams looking to be Bowl eligible include Miami-Florida, Virginia Tech, Maryland and Florida State as the spots for the Peach, Champs, Music City, Meinke, Emerald and MPC Computer Bowls are decided.

6-Big East (46.29): Bowl Record: 1-3; 3 undefeated teams
Louisville Big East 3 7W-0L None
West Virginia Big East 4 7W-0L None
Rutgers Big East 18 7W-0L None
Pittsburgh Big East 38 6W-2L Michigan State/Rutgers
Cincinnati Big East 53 5W-4L Ohio State/Pittsburgh/Virginia Tech/Louisville
South Florida Big East 58 5W-3L Kansas/Rutgers/Cincinnati
Connecticut Big East 64 3W-5L Wake Forest/Navy/South Florida/West Virginia/Rutgers
Syracuse Big East 81 3W-6L Iowa/Wake Forest/Pittsburgh/West Virginia/Louisville/Cincinnati

Three undefeated teams won't last long in this league. Louisville plays West Virginia at home, and could sneak into the BCS title game if USC loses to Cal. One Big East team, Louisville/West Virginia/Rutgers, goes to the BCS, the #2 team will go the Gator or Meinke with Pittsburgh and South Florida looking to go the Sun, Texas, Birmingham or the new International Bowl.

7--Independents (66.00): Bowl Record: 1-1
Notre Dame Independent 12 7W-1L Michigan
Navy Independent 40 5W-3L Tulsa/Rutgers/Notre Dame
Army Independent 96 3W-6L Arkansas State/Texas A&M/Rice/Connecticut/TCU/Tulane
Temple Independent 118 1W-8L Buffalo/Louisville/Minnesota/Western Michigan/Vanderbilt/Kent St./Clemson/Northern Illinois

Notre Dame must win out to make a BCS game, this includes beating USC to knock them out of a BCS title game. Otherwise, it looks like the Gator or Sun Bowl for the Irish. Navy may have an inside track for the Armed Services Bowl.
