Also...there is a reason why none of the bowl projections show 2 from the B12 anymore. The fix is already in to get Michigan a BCS slot. Gonna have to deal with it. The only hope is if OSU beats OU handily and the human polls work to get OSU in over Bama. In that case OU or KSU gets the Fiesta. Otherwise the chances the B12 gets two is slim to none. If OU beats OSU, then OU will get the only slot.

Yeah you never know. It will be interesting. They will have to jump B1G loser and Geogia. If KSU beats us they wont be jumped. The computers love KSU. They have five "5" rankings and one "9" ranking in the computers. Michigan has anywhere from a 12 to a 23.

CBS Sports (Jerry Palm) has us in Military Bowl (Washington D.C.) vs. North Carolina:

A Baylor win over Texas may be better for ISU and the Big 12. They could hop Michigan and might be the buffer enough to keep UM out of the Top 14 and ensure two Big 12 teams in the BCS.
Assuming Baylor wins and Michigan ends at #15 in the BCS (getting two Big 12 teams in):
2 BCS bids + Cotton = Some combo of OU, OSU, KSU
Alamo = Baylor
Insight = Texas
Holiday: Choose between Iowa State, Missouri, and A&M
Have to hope that the SEC situation would give us some help here.
When the BCS rankings come out today, we can have a (slightly) clearer picture of who to root for this weekend to help our bowl position.

If Iowa state beats Kansas state and ou beats osu, is there any way we get left out of the holiday bowl? 2 bcs teams and a 7-5 isu team.
It will certainly be interesting to see how the MWC bids work out. They have 4 bids for 5 eligible teams since BYU took one the MWC bids, but the Military Bowl would love to get Air Force since Navy isn't available.
So for those saying the fix will be on for Michigan to reach the top 14, they aren't going to get a lot of help from the computers so they will have to rely on the voters.
I realize the AP poll doesn't count, but Michigan did not move in the latest poll as it should be... So, is the Harris & Coaches going to move them up?

There is no realistic senario where Big12 gets 2 BCS teams.
Stanford and Alabama are locks being in the top 4 of the BCS standings. Houston is a lock as the top non-AQ team, and even if they lose, TCU will be a lock in their place as the top non-AQ team (they will be higher than the Big East champ). That leaves 1 open at large spot. Bowl execs will always, always, always, always take Michigan over whoever else is available. They're not taking KSU or a 3 loss OU team or a OSU team on a 2 game skid. End of story.
It's funny, osu should be in the title game if they win, but if they lose they'll go to the cotton bowl. Despite the fact they would beat 7 of 10 BCS teams and most of them by 3TDs
If Georgia beats LSU, the SEC will get 3 BCS spots.
Neither of the teams in the national championship will be their own conference champs.
I thought a conference could only have 2? Do they get an extra if both teams are in NC?
Normally. But if a single conference places 2 non-champions in the BCS title game, that conference is granted a third BCS spot.
I don't think that's right. All the bowl projections I have seen have LSU and Bama in National Championship. But no one has a 3rd SEC team in their BCS projections.
If Georgia win the SEC Title, LSU and Alabama would still be 1-2 and in the National Title game. Georgia would get the auto bid.
That's because no one is projecting LSU to lose to Georgia. If Georgia wins, there will likely be 3 SEC teams in the BCS. LSU vs. Bama in the MNC and Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
