BCS outlook

We're in the home stretch, with conference championships set. Some big games ahead Saturday, with plenty of upset potential. But I'm sticking with conventional wisdom and making my final predictions for bowl selection.

The biggest question for me: Will a 12-0 Boise State edge out a 10-2 Ohio State? The Buckeyes have had a history of failure in BCS bowls, but will people want to watch (or attend) a game featuring the boys of the blue turf? Or will the bowl selection committee shock us all and elevate Ball State (pretty much certain they'll destroy Buffalo in the MAC championship)?

Anyway...here are my picks.

BCS Championship: Florida-Oklahoma
Fiesta Bowl: Texas-Utah
Sugar Bowl: Alabama-Boise State
Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech-Cincinnati
Rose Bowl: USC-Penn State
