Tentative Bowl Lineup

Other than the Rose Bowl, opponents for the bowl championship series games are still undetermined. The matchup for the Orange Bowl, which will determine the national championship, apparently will be Oklahoma vs. Florida State or Miami vs. Florida State--with either Miami or Oklahoma dropping into a BCS at-large slot. Oklahoma has the only remaining game among the three, Saturday in the Big 12 championship game against Kansas State. Saturday’s Southeastern Conference championship game winner between Florida and Auburn will get a berth in the Sugar Bowl against a BCS at-large team. Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon State and Virginia Tech are leading contenders for BCS at-large berths. The bowl lineup, excluding all-star games, with dates, sites, payouts, times (Pacific) and networks. * indicates tentative berth for team listed in bowl game.
