Updated Bowl Projections (following week 3)

Updated September 20th, 2009.

The latest College Football bowl projections for the BCS bowl games and the 29 other bowls are now updated for MrBCS.com, ESPN and CBS Sportsline.

Significant changes include the following:

ESPN now predicts Oklahoma instead of USC in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Following their win at Oregon State, Cincinnati is projected to win the Big East by ESPN and CBS.

Miami (FL) now is considered the favorite to win the ACC for ESPN and CBS Sportsline.  MrBCS.com still projects Virginia Tech to win the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship and represent the league in the FedEx Orange Bowl.  This should be solidified this weekend when the Hurricanes and Hokies hook up.

BYU is no longer considered a BCS team, with all three services (ESPN, CBS and MrBCS.com) now showing Boise State as the favorite to represent the non-BCS conferences.

UCLA continues to make a move and we now predict they will earn a bid in the Holiday Bowl (#1 selection following BCS teams, California and USC).

USC is still projected to win the Pac-10 by us, whereas Cal is considered the Pacific 10 Champion and Rose Bowl participant by ESPN and CBS Sportsline.

Here’s the complete list of predictions for MrBCS.com

BCS National Championship Game: Florida vs. Texas

Rose Bowl: USC vs. Penn State

FedEx Orange Bowl: Virginia Tech vs. California

Allstate Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Pittsburgh

Tostitos Fiesta Bowl: Ohio State vs. Boise State
