Bored 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2003 Bored's Bowl Projections OR Everyone Else's You know I had been thinking about posting my own bowl projections and then started going through every team schedules trying to predict who wins each game and realized I'm too lazy. So why not just use everyone else's? I used espn.com (which has four stets of projections), SI.com, collegefootballnews.com, and collegebcs.com. Listed for each bowl is every team that is currently projected for that bowl so their may be more than one team for each slot listed and teams may be listed for more than one bowl. Obviously if only one team is listed for a bowl then the projectoins are unanimous. Basically this will just give you an idea of where everyone may or may not be going or might just confuse you. Obviously some match-ups are impossible, i.e. Miami ain't playing Virigina Tech but just both are being considered for the Orange Bowl depending on how things go. Also for the Fiesta Bowl I just list everyone projected there because the only tie-in is the Big 12 champ and Oklahoma won't be there so anyone could end up there. December 16 New Orleans: North Texas vs. South Florida/Memphis December 18 GMAC: Southern Miss/TCU/Lousiville vs. Miami (OH)/Bowling Green December 22 Tangerine: Virginia/Georgia Tech/Maryland vs. Kansas State/Texas Tech/Missouri/Kansas December 23 Fort Worth: Houston/Cinncinnati/Southern Miss/Memphis vs. Kansas/Northern Illinois/Oregon/Clemson December 24 Las Vegas: Air Force/Colorado State/UNLV vs. Washington/Oregon/Oregon State/UCLA December 25 Hawaii: Louisville/Southern Miss/Memphis vs. Hawaii December 26 Motor City: Bowling Green/Miami (OH) vs. Wisconsin/Connecticut/Minnesota/Northwestern Insight: West Virginia/Boston College/Syracuse/Pittsburgh vs. Oregon State/Washington/UCLA/California December 27 Continental Tire: Syracuse/Boston College/West Virginia vs. Wake Forest/Georgia Tech/Clemson December 29 Alamo: Iowa/Purdue/Michigan State vs. Oklahoma State/Missouri/Kansas State December 30 Houston: Texas Tech/Kansas State/Kansas vs. South Carolina/Arkansas/Connecticut Holiday: Washington State/UCLA/Washington vs. Texas/Oklahoma State/Kansas State/Nebraska Silicon Valley: Fresno State vs. California/Oregon/Washington December 31 Music City: Auburn/Tennessee/South Carolina/Mississippi vs. Wisconsin/Minnesota/Iowa Independence: Missouri/Texas Tech/Nebraska vs. Arkansas/South Carolina/Auburn Liberty: TCU/Sothern Miss/Louisville vs. Utah Sun: UCLA/Oregon State vs. Minnesota/Michigan State/Wisconsin/Ohio State San Francisco: Colorado State/Air Force vs. Boston College/Syracuse/West Virginia January 1 Outback: Michigan State/Purdue/Ohio State/Iowa vs. Tennessee/Mississippi/Florida Gator: Pittsburgh/Virginia Tech vs. Maryland/N.C.

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2003 Sun Bowl here we come... UCLA how do you want your ass whopping. Same goes for the punk from the ACC. It's remarkable how much time some teams will have between the season, and Bowl games. The Gophers are done in two week. The 15th of November. They could play has late has the 31st of December. According to my California math, that's about a 6 week layoff between games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vern Gagne 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2003 Missouri has the inside track, but watch out for K-State. They seem to have their act together. TCU is not that good a team. Undefeated, but look who've they've played. Hope you don't make the Top 6, because if they do they'll get slaughtered by whoever they play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teke184 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Tennessee up 10-6 on Miami with 6:00 left to play, but Miami is driving. I still say that Tenn will pull it out, helping set the table for a possible LSU berth in the title game along with a LOT of help from elsewhere. (That will include Florida over Florida State, Mich. State or Purdue over Ohio State, a two-loss Ohio State over surging Michigan, and either Texas Tech or the B12 North champ over Oklahoma OR UCLA over USC.)

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched. Tennessee is the odd man out because Georgia is the top SEC East team in the BCS and beat Tennessee head-to-head this season. The only way Tennessee gets the bid is if Georgia loses an SEC game because the tiebreaker then becomes Tennessee's win over Florida. Under the new tiebreaker, the rules are that the top team in the BCS gets the bid BUT, if the #2 team is within 5 spots of the top team in the BCS and beats them head-to-head, the #2 team gets the spot.

I haven't been impressed by Pittsburgh at all beyond Larry Fitzgerald but Miami might just be folding their tent at this point. If they finish in a tie for 2nd though they'll definently get picked by the Gator Bowl for the Big East #2 berth. Oh and to add if there is three-way tie for first, meaning Miami wins out and Va Tech and Pitt both lose one game, odds are Miami will be ranked higher in the BCS than Va Tech and certainly higher than Pittsburgh so they would get the Big East BCS bid. Again though who knows if they even care at this point to go after it and it is all moot if Va Tech wins out. Oh and this Miami loss by proxy really helps USC and really hurts Florida State.

Or if Georgia loses period, I believe. Either way, Georgia has shown they're succeptible to "easy win" games, and Kentucky and Georgia Tech won't roll over for them. Of course, this is assuming that they beat Auburn this afternoon, which is also a fairly difficult task. Either way, don't even TRY to burst my bubble at this point. Tennessee has a possible tricky game with Kentucky left, and that's about it as far as any potential stumbling blocks. And Florida still has South Carolina (who either play really well or completely suck any given week) and Florida State. If you look at the schedules of the three teams involved, Tennessee is favored tremendously and showed today that when they come to play, they can hang with and beat anyone (except Oklahoma, because they're just fucking scary). EDIT: And naturally, as per the usual with big Tennessee wins over the years, it's made to sound as if they beat a subpar team and don't have any talent themselves. Even when we won the National Title in 1998, all the media could say was "wow, we didn't think they were that good."
