BCS bowl projections - whodathunkit?

In a column I wrote last Monday I wrote “Pittsburgh has about as good a shot of beating the Mountaineers as I have at winning the lottery and quitting school tomorrow.”

Well, to my surprise it happened. But to Georgia’s dismay, LSU won. With that, there’s a chance Georgia will be the odd team out. Here’s my BCS projections at 12:30 p.m. Sunday:

BCS Championship Game: Ohio State vs. LSU

Rose Bowl: Georgia vs. USC (the real national championship with the two best teams at the moment? possibly?)

Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. West Virginia

Fiesta Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Arizona State

Sugar Bowl: Missouri vs. Hawaii

Notes and thoughts: Two things: Don’t be surprised if Georgia gets snubbed in the Rose Bowl to Illinois, which in my opinion, would be absolutely horrible. USC-Illinois would be the worst game of the bowl season, but the Rose Bowl committee was looking forward to a Big 10-Pac 10 matchup. Let’s see if they decide to take a legitimate team over tradition.

There are some media pundits saying Kansas might play Oklahoma in the Fiesta, which would move the last at-large to the Sugar Bowl. Two teams from the same conference playing in the same bowl is not good for college football. I refuse to believe it. I also think Missouri deserves to go to a BCS game over Kansas. How can you demote Missouri for losing to the same team twice after beating Kansas on a neutral site?
