It'll be interesting as to see what the Orange Bowl does whether they take UConn or Stanford. Also not sure between Nebraska and Oklahoma State who's headed to the Alamo, I went with the Cowboys and we'll see on a lot more like the MAC teams, because of Middle Tennessee beating FIU today and getting bowl eligible, I put them into the Sun Belt's last spot in the Pizza Bowl and moved Louisville out of there and bumped Ohio from the picture which moved up Temple and Toledo. Now, I feel bad for Ohio, but there are only so many spots, but it could be that Ohio stays in and Middle Tennessee doesn't make a bowl.

There's also the rumors that the Outback Bowl wants Florida instead of South Carolina to play Penn State. We will see.
