Peach Bowl: (1) Clemson vs. (4) Oklahoma
Fiesta Bowl: (2) Alabama vs. (3) Ohio State
Cotton Bowl: LSU vs. Boise State
Orange Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Wake Forest
Rose Bowl: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Texas
Reminder of the Tie-Ins
Rose: BigTen vs. PAC-12
Sugar: SEC vs. BigXII
Orange: ACC vs. BigTen OR SEC OR Notre Dame
Cotton: no tie-in
What happened this week? Boise State solidified their claim as the top G5 team, ensuring that they will go to the Cotton Bowl if they win out. Wisconsin bludgeoned Michigan, setting up what is probably a 2-game series between them and Ohio State. At this point I still believe Ohio State's offense will be too much for Wisconsin's stellar defense, but I would love to be wrong. Winner of the UW/Oregon game is likely headed to Pasadena although many eyes out west will be focused on the Oct 5th Oregon/Cal game to see if Cal is for real.
Every year the G5 team is forced to go to the Peach, Fiesta, or Cotton. Since the Peach and Fiesta are the semifinals, that means they are going to the Cotton.
Note: If not for the LSU vs. Texas regular-season matchup, that would have been the Sugar Bowl game. Since they play in the regular season, LSU was shuffled over to the Cotton (BigXII team is locked into the Sugar).
Additional note: I would have placed Virginia as the ACC team in the Orange Bowl, but excluded them to avoid the ND rematch.
As always, feel free to comment on the above projections, or better yet...post your own.
