Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany can't be happy with what happened last week, which cost his league some big bucks and put USC back in the BCS mix. But the Trojans don't exactly appear ready to run the rest of their table, so Iowa and Penn State, along with Miami (Fla.), still have their hopes.

USC will play Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. The Sugar Bowl gets first choice of the at-larges this year. They'll take the biggest draw with USC. Fiesta will be TCU and Boise St, while the orange will Cincy and Ga Tech. Rose will be Oregon and Ohio St. NC - FLorida v Texas.

      That's what I noticed (I live in El Paso). The local paper has an article in this morning's edition that says there's a chance USC, Oklahoma, Arizona, or Texas Tech (or some combination of them) may be in the Sun Bowl.

        love to see oregon destroy ohio state. it will give additional credibility to pac10 and/or prove that the pride of the big 10 is still a joke.

          You left out the Sun Bowl you idiot!!! It's the second oldest bowl game in the nation next to the Rose Bowl.

            Clemson is about to play in the ACC Title game. How are you arriving at the 3rd place finish? Not that I'm complaining about a Gator Bowl play, but still...

              Although I am a Duck's fan, I didn't see Oregon State (or PAC-10 #3) mentioned anywhere. Could that be the Sun Bowl?

                Can't put much validity into projections that list a conference game as a predicted bowl matchup. You may want to look at the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl again. I doubt it will be an all MAC game.
