Bowl projections: New opponent for Alabama in title game
For the second consecutive season, Oregon stumbled against Stanford last week, the loss creating major changes in this week's bowl projections.
The Ducks are out as the BCS title game opponent for Alabama. In is Florida State. Both the Crimson Tide and Seminoles are on a collision course for Pasadena if they can successfully navigate the final four weeks of the season.
Oregon's loss also caused adjustments to the other BCS bowls, with Stanford grabbing a spot in the Rose and Oregon moving to the Orange. Even though Baylor beat Oklahoma last Thursday, theBears' place in the Fiesta is now projected to go to Oklahoma State.
This is how the picture looks today. Expect lots of movement before the end of the season. Also keep in mind, some conferences may not be able to fulfill their allotment. An asterisk indicates a school has filled a vacant spot.
