With the November 15 results:
Florida State or Miami-FL (if they win the "Mountain" East) to the Orange Bowl, maybe even a rematch to get butts in the stands. The Orange Bowl is committed to taking either the ACC or Big East champ, but not necessarily both. If Pitt wins the Mountain East (which they can if they beat Miami and finish 6+ spots ahead of WVU), the game will be Florida State-Pittsburgh.
The Rose Bowl still says they want a Big 10-Pac 10 match, but they'll change their minds if they lose Southern California to the Sugar Bowl and take someone other than Washington State.
The Fiesta Bowl is still the most likely destination of TCU if they get a Big Bucks-No Whammies Bowl. A match of old Southwest Conference foes Texas and TCU has to be intriguing and can't help but be profitable, even if it is a blowout. Texas letting "one-dimensional" Texas Tech hang in the game until missing the last-second FG last night bodes well for TCU's prospects against Texas.
Sugar is Oklahoma vs Ohio State or Southern California EVEN IF OKLAHOMA LOSES IN THE BIG XII CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. Oklahoma losing in the Big XII title game hurts Texas more than themselves, because it means that Kansas State or Missouri goes to the Fiesta, and no conference can send 3 to the Big Bucks Bowls.
Kansas State vs TCU? Ugh, too much purple.
