Thought I'd explain a few things first. Clemson should still win the ACC. I know they got smashed, but they have enough talent and are just mediocre offensive line play away from a BCS appearance. I'm not predicting that Temple will win their division, but I do believe that they'll get to 7-5 and the bowls will pit Navy and Bowling Green together to avoid a rematch, although Navy will be on the bubble with a tougher-than-usual schedule. I don't see the ACC filling all of their slots with the way Virginia and NC State performed, so I bumped up Maryland to the Champs Sports Bowl which left the Congressional Bowl open; the Congressional Bowl has a back-up tie-in with the MAC. I'm joining the bandwagon while there's still time with BYU. I predicted that Washington would beat them at home and it doesn't look like the Huskies will be up to the task. Fresno State will be an at-large pick to face-off against C-USA champion, ECU, kind of like what happened with Boise State and Louisville. Some of these projection sites I see (like CBS Sportsline) have New Mexico not in the New Mexico Bowl, which is kind of surprising for me. Yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say about this. Tell me what you think!
