The Waiting Begins

As of right now the Buckeyes are on the outside of the BCS picture looking in. Ten teams will play in a BCS game and they look to be team 11 because of the Big East and ACC getting an automatic bid. This shouldn't worry any fan of the scarlet and grey though because as we have seen in the past, crazy things will happen over the next couple of weeks.

#1 Alabama: Still has a rivalry game with Auburn and an SEC Championship match up with Florida. Even if they go 1-1 it is likely they get an at-large bid.

Prediction: Sugar Bowl

#2 Texas: Has to play their rival Texas A&M which is a game where anything can happen and usually does. Sitting as a lame duck because of Oklahoma jumping them in the Big 12 South to play in the Conference Championship Game.

Prediction: Fiesta Bowl

#3 Oklahoma: Has Oklahoma State in their rivalry game which could cause them some trouble but will most likely be their stepping stone before playing Missouri in a rematch of the Big 12 Championship from last year. If they win out they are in the National Championship Game.

Prediction: BCS National Championship Game

#4 Florida: Plays Florida State in their rivalry game this weekend which is always a hard hitting match up. Can give the Gators trouble but they should be fine. Then have the SEC Championship Game against Alabama. A loss to FSU and win against Bama keeps them in a BCS game.

Prediction: BCS National Championship Game

#5 USC: Plays Notre Dame and UCLA in the next two weeks. Although, UCLA has upset them before, I don't think it happens this year. Loss to either team sends them out of the BCS picture.

Prediction: Rose Bowl

#6 Utah: Has finished season undefeated and will get an at-large bid.

Prediction: Fiesta Bowl

#7 Texas Tech: Lost shot at BCS title game with blow out loss to Oklahoma. Has Baylor left and is on the outside looking in because no more than two teams can make it in from the same conference.

Prediction: Cotton Bowl

#8 Penn State: Season is over. Have already booked plane tickets to Pasadena.

Prediction: Rose Bowl

#9 Boise State: Has a tough game against Fresno State coming up. Even a win won't get them in this year with Utah taking the at-large. Will most likely finish undefeated and miss a BCS bowl. This is strictly because of money for the bowl site.

Prediction : Humanitarian Bowl

#10 Ohio State: Season over. Two loss team that is sitting on the bubble waiting for someone to fall out. Needs Oregon State to lose so that USC wins the Pac-10 and goes to the Rose Bowl.

Prediction: Orange Bowl
