Here they are, the final edition of the Bowl Predictions. Tomorrow the final BCS standings will be released, and the bowl picks will be revealed.
Information is certainly going to be pouring in throughout tomorrow on leaked bowl picks, and I will try to keep the table and subsequent changes updated leading up to the selection show.
The complete list, and times of games, is listed here.
UPDATE #1 1:10 p.m.: Pittsburgh is in to a bowl game. Appears they are going to be allowed to play in a game, even with one of their 6 wins coming against different division.
UPDATE #2 1:50 p.m.: Looks like ACC, Big Ten, and SEC bowls are close to being set, at least the bigger games, based on reports. Remember, it is still VERY UNOFFICIAL. On the NIU in the BCS front, I just don’t think it will happen
UPDATE #3 2:20 p.m.: Rutgers has accepted bid to Russell Athletic Bowl (source) and Nebraska returns to the Capital One Bowl (source).
UPDATE #4 3:10 p.m.: Cincinnati officially going to Belk Bowl and Michigan to the Outback Bowl.
UPDATE #5 3:40 p.m.: The rest of the Big Ten bowl games appears to be set.
UPDATE #6 4:50 p.m.: The BCS has busted, as reports are that Florida State and Northern Illinois will play in the Orange Bowl. That changes everything.
UPDATE #7 5:40 p.m.: It appears that SEC teams will be next to start announcing where they are going. Georgia to Capital One, Mississippi State to Gator, and South Carolina to Outback.
UPDATE #8 6:10 p.m.: No more specific updates, the bowl announcements should be coming quick now, as with the BCS figured out, it’s just about slotting teams at this point. Will continue to update as information is released.
