BCS Dream Scenario

BCS Dream Scenario
Let’s start with the BCS championship game.
The BCS wants to have two undisputed teams in the final game, and a match up that will create excitement and interest. With that in mind, the BCS wants to have the SEC champ play the BIG XII champ in the final game.
Mon, Jan 7 BCS Championship Florida Vs. Texas
Thu, Jan 3 Orange Florida St Vs. Utah
Wed, Jan 2 Fiesta Texas Tech Vs. Ohio St
Tue, Jan 1 Sugar Alabama Vs. Pittsburgh
Tue, Jan 1 Rose USC Vs. Penn St
SEC
It doesn’t really matter which way the conferences go (assuming the BIG XII South wins the title game). In the SEC it is cut and dry. Alabama is going to play Florida in the SEC Championship, and as long as Florida beats Florida St the winner will have at most one loss. If Alabama beats Auburn, the loser will likely go to the Sugar Bowl.
Dream scenario- Florida beats Alabama and goes to the BCS title game. I’m sure the BCS would mind an undefeated Alabama team winning, but I believe most people feel Florida is a better team and bigger draw.
BIG XII
There are three teams in line to win the BIG XII South: Texas Tech, Texas, or Oklahoma. Any one of them is fine with the BCS, but I’m sure FOX would prefer an undisputed Texas team to win and play in the BCS championship, while they can choose Texas Tech or Oklahoma for an At Large bid.
PAC-10
The BCS wants to have USC win the Pac-10 title outright, and is wants Oregon St to lose to Oregon.
ACC
They will take either Florida St, or Miami
Big 10
Penn St beats Michigan St and plays USC in the Rose Bowl.
Big East
Pittsburgh beats West Virginia and Cincinnati, wins the Big East outright.
Non-BCS
Ball St loses one game, and either Boise St, or Utah lose while the other one stays undefeated. One outright non-BCS team invited.
