    It does indeed appear that the UCF prediction has shifted from the Sugar to the Fiesta. Last week it was definitely the Sugar. I adjusted my predictions.

    I sure hope they pick Oregon if Alabama ends up in the Sugar. I won't be able to watch the game if it's Bama vs Ohio State.

    That's because Northern Illinois was in the running. The Sugar would have had to choose between UCF and Northen. Under those circumstances, UCF was the better, though still awful, choice.

    Yeah I was about to ask if the Northern Illinois loss was the deciding factor. Good call.

    Thanks. Every once in a while I get a little wood on the ball.

    My adjusted predictions:

    BCS CG: FSU vs Auburn

    Sugar: Alabama (at-large SEC replacement) vs Oregon (at-large)
    Orange: Clemson vs Ohio State (at-large)
    Rose: Michigan State vs Stanford
    Fiesta: Baylor vs UCF

    If Ohio State wins:

    BCS CG: FSU vs Ohio State

    Sugar: Auburn vs Oregon (at-large)
    Orange: Clemson vs Alabama (at-large)
    Rose: Michigan State (at-large Big 10 Replacement) vs Stanford
    Fiesta: Baylor vs UCF

    If Ohio State wins Alabama once again gets a good laugh. They play in game that is no less important than the SEC Champ.
