What a game last night in the Big XII title game. TCU was less then a foot away from playing in Pasadena, but since that is not the case here are my bowl projections and the official announcement will be announced later this evening on Fox and ESPN at 8pm est.
New Mexico Bowl
Wyoming Cowboys (6-6) vs. Fresno State Bulldogs (8-4)
Armed Forces Bowl
Air Force Falcons (7-5) vs. Southern Miss Golden Eagles (7-5)
Las Vegas Bowl
BYU Cougars (10-2) vs. USC Trojans (8-4)
Poinsettia Bowl
Utah Utes (9-3) vs. Cal Golden Bears (8-4)
Sugar Bowl
TCU Horned Frogs (12-0) vs. Florida Gators (12-1)
There you have it, so lets see if these are correct. I have a hard time seeing USC fall that far, but their loss to Arizona puts them there because Stanford will go to the local Emerald Bowl and unless the Sun Bow takes USC they are headed to Vegas.

Brad Edwards' BCS Bowl Projections
| Bowl | Matchup |
|---|---|
| BCS Title | Alabama versus Texas |
| Rose Bowl | Ohio St. versus Oregon |
| Fiesta Bowl | TCU versus Boise State |
| Orange Bowl | Ga. Tech versus Iowa |
| Sugar Bowl | Florida versus Cincinnati |
I still do not see the Fiesta wanting that low of a bowl selection, plus the Fiesta gets to pick after the Sugar Bowl replacement and a Big 10 school is a near guarantee ratings boost. Plus, Boise State and TCU played last year in the Poinsettia Bowl.
