Probably ASU. I hope that Will Sutton can disrupt the triple option or whatever that crazy offense is that they run.
Sets up well for the conference to be honest. I think USC could swap to the Sun although it's very possible that doesn't happen. The team in the Sun Bowl probably gets to play a 6-7 Georgia Tech - what a reward!
Yeah, that was my only pick that I wasn't sure about. On one hand, OSU deserves a higher bowl than USC, but USC will make the Holiday a lot more money.
Based on what I posted Friday:
me said:
Navy is locked into the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. So yeah ASU seems the most likely candidate to take them on.
I don't know why Jimbo would leave FSU for any of those schools. It would have to be a Bama/LSU/Florida-tier school.
At FSU he gets to roll through an ACC schedule and get prime recruits with only one real competitor (Gata).

I saw that. Filed under wishful thinking by some FSU fans
Jimbo Fisher? Why in the fuck would he take any of those jobs? He's got a plum position as it is, and I'm not sure any of those is even a lateral move.

haha, nah, probably not from everyone. I guess that was quite a bit of hyperbole. I doubt most Ohio State fans really even care that much.

I think most of us are over the bowl ban cuz were all fine with beig fake good. And I know all of us really don't give a shit about the Mac.
I do though cuz I have been to a few kent st games.
There are....6 ACC bowl eligible teams?
1. FSU
2. Clemson
3. GT
4.NCSU
5. VT
6. Duke.
UNC and Miami are bowl banned. BC, UMD, WF and UVA didn't qualify. W're fucked. No chance we play anyone we have a prayer of beating. If the invite is to the independence bowl, I think we should decline. We won't, but we should.

Yeah, undefeated season always helps with that.
You get to play an SEC team!
Yup, looking like Music City vs Vandy or More Cowbell.

It can be argued that Boise isn't even one of the two best teams in their conference.

San Jose State is 10-2 , and it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't get a bowl invite. Its kinda sad.
70 slots, 70 eligible teams so far. There might be as many as two more eligible, Ga Tech (if they can beat FSU or whoever in the CCG) and UConn (if they can beat Cincy).
It's possible that SJSU will be left out, but there are other, more leave-outable teams (see: the Sun Belt).
Wtf, why? Where could they go potentially? Their only losses are to 9-3 Fresno State and 10-2 Stanford (by 3 points in Palo Alto).
edit: question answered
Many FSU fans (including myself) want him out. He's a terrible play caller, makes extremely questionable game decisions, and clearly can't handle the duel-role of being a head coach and an offensive coordinator simultaneously (that's my two cents, anyways).
Jimbo's an SEC guy. He started at Auburn in the late 90s, then went to LSU (after a brief stint at Cincy) for nearly a decade, where he brought home a ring under Father Saban. He's been mentioned (although nothing but complete dirtsheet rumors at this point) in connections with the Tennessee and Auburn openings. His agent is Jimmy Sexton, who's notorious for using job openings for leveraging wages (Houston Nutt, anyone?), not to mention he's very SEC-oriented as well.
Either way, I hope Jimbo leaves. If it's not this season, I'll give him maybe another two here at FSU before he splits. He just signed a contract extension earlier this year to coach until 2017, so the buyout would be disgustingly large ($11 million, I think). He doesn't have any reason to leave FSU, however, and the coaching jobs that are opening in the SEC aren't nearly as nice as what's happening at FSU. Not to mention there's really no indication that he's unhappy here. Ideally, I'd love for Jimbo to step down to offensive coordinator and Stoops step up to head coach. Jimbo's a quality QB coach and recruiter, but not head coach material. Not to mention it's only a mater of time before Stoops gets a head coaching job somewhere. He has it great at FSU already, so why not here?
Wouldn't someone have to take SJSU over one of the 6-6 teams with an FCS win?
Thing with Jimbo and FSU, is, geez the ACC is in trouble.
Nevermind turmoil over who is staying or going, but it's getting to the point that an undefeated ACC team might be overlooked by 1 loss teams from 2-4 other conferences. That a 1 loss ACC team is barely hanging around the top 10, with multiple 2 loss teams in front of them. That for as good as FSU's pedigree has been, it's being negated by the conference.
Also, how is the coach of Colorado given another year????

If he stops losing to NC State he won't have to worry about that. Playoffs are coming anyway. Undefeated FSU doesn't get left out unless the other four conferences also have undefeated champs.
Presumably the same reason they hired the guy to begin with: money problems.
Though I would think they'll spend some of their Pac12bux on an upgrade, after next season.
That used to be the case, but apparently they've removed that rule.

My very late BCS projections based on the actual votes and my guesstimate at the computer rankings...
With the losses of 11 of the 25 BCS teams, particularly from 10-25, it's really hard to know who will move up ahead of those guys, but I stay to the top 17-18 anyway...
Again, completely my guesstimate, but the top is pretty stable with maybe a couple of teams swapping spots, with the most likely ones being Florida overtaking Georgia and maybe more of a longshot, Stanford overtakings LSU for #7. I think one of the really big questions is how high will Boise go, and as of last week, they were only 30th in the computers. Also, if Oregon can make it to #4, which looks guaranteed based on next weeks SEC CCG, the Pac-12 would be guaranteed a 2nd BCS team.
Again, these are NOT the official rankings which will come out in less than 20 minutes anyway... I was at an amusement park with the family, so just got home and whipped this up.

Here's a rundown of how the top 6 teams played each other in the SEC plus their toughest non conference opponent.
Florida played SCAR, UGA, LSU, TA&M + FSU
S. Carolina played UGA, FLA, LSU + Clemson
Georgia played FLA, SCAR + GaTech
Texas A&M played LSU, BAMA, FLA + La Tech
LSU played BAMA, TA&M, FLA, SCAR + Washington
Alabama played TA&M, LSU + Michigan
As you can see, Florida and LSU played 4 of the other 5 top SEC teams. South Carolina, and Texas A&M played 3 of the other top 5, and Bama and Georgia played only 2 of the other top 5 SEC teams. Is it coincidence that Bama and Georgia are in the SEC championship game?

Damn, if Kent St. wins next week, they're probably in a BCS game. Couldn't see them not moving up the required one spot to get to number 16.
unless UCLA beats Stanford.

Jesus. I know our OB v. Clemson last year got shit ratings, but if that's the match-up and it's mid-week again, they might be better off just airing a rerun of that.
ESPN is predicting Florida State vs Rutgers. I'm not sure which matchup is better.

Number 4 is only guaranteed if #3 already has an auto bid. #3 will likely be Florida, who will then get the auto so Oregon won't get it.
Not that it matters, Oregon will get selected easily as the first at large
Poor guy, he'll be a very good pro but that probably cost him millions... certainly would have been a first rounder and probably a top 10-15 type guy.zyxwvu4321

FSU vs Rutgers would at least have the entertainment value of leading in to "FSU is Back, 2013 Edition." Also chrome helmets.
