Tournament Projections, Week 2, 2011

"In college football, one day you're in, the next day, you're out" - Dayne Crist

Since last week, OUT: Virginia Tech; IN: Oregon (flip flop of last week)

Playoff projections based on the fine work of BCSguru.com

First Round:

Jacksonville FL: #7 Florida State (ACC champ) versus #10 West Virginia (Big East Champ); Florida State keeps going in and out of the top six. This week versus Oklahoma will help determine if FSU is down here with the First Rounders or on their way to the top six with an Orange Bowl shot. And will the Big East ever be out of the ten seed? Two years ago, the Big East started with no ranked teams, but Cincy went undefeated to grab the three seed. UConn decided the ten seed was just fine with them last season.


Green Bay WI:
#8 Wisconsin (Big Ten champ) versus #9 Oregon (at-large); Finally, a Pac-10 or 12 team has to go to Big Ten country rather than vice versa. Oregon returns after a week away from the projections.

Bowl Quarterfinals:

Sugar: #1 Alabama (SEC champ) versus Florida State or Wisconsin/Oregon winner; Bama bounces back to the top with the win at PSU. Wonder if things would have been different if the Bama fake punt was spotted an inch or two back.

Rose: #4 Boise State (non-BCS conference AQ) versus #5 Stanford (Pac-12 champ); Kinda like the Western Regional; a team from out west will be in St Louis, if this holds.

Fiesta: #2 Oklahoma (Big XII winner) versus West Virginia or Wisconsin/Oregon winner; Fiesta gets the odds on chance of Oklahoma-Wisconsin; AZ would love that

Orange: #3 Louisiana State (at large) versus #6 Oklahoma State (at large); The at-large bowl...Oklahoma State jumps into the top six

Semi-Finals (Football's Final Four) in St. Louis


National Championship in New Orleans
