Bowl Predictions: Magic 8-Ball Edition
With a record eleven ranked teams losing to unranked opponents this year, many sites are having to trade in their crystal balls for the ever-so-popular Magic 8 Ball.
As of this morning, only one team -- Navy -- has accepted a bowl invite, but several invitations should be going out this week and many more immediately following this weekend's games.
Let's take a look at the "It is decidedly so" predictions....
CBS Sportsline - who was married to an LSU - USC matchup for the national championship last month - has revised their prediction to reflect LSU - West Virginia in the BCS Championship.
College Football News, who also had LSU-USC in the title game last month, projects LSU-West Virginia in the championship game.
In order for that scenario to work, all that is required is a Kansas loss combined with LSU & WVU winning out -- certainly not out of the question. Attention Fighting Manginos - you've been served!
Looking at the rest of the BCS bowl games projections....
Bowl | Sportsline | CFN |
BCS | LSU - WVU | LSU - WVU |
Orange | Virginia Tech - Kansas | Virginia Tech - Missouri |
Fiesta | Oklahoma - Southern Cal | Oklahoma - Oregon |
Sugar | Georgia - Hawaii | Georgia - Boise St |
Rose | Ohio State - Oregon | Ohio State - Arizona State |
For more bowl predictions, see Sportsline, CFN, the major newspapers via Google News.

While I'm excited about the prediction of WVU's playing for the NC, I would be interested in comments from others about their chances of winning under different scenarios like WVU vs;
LSU
OSU
OK
VT
GA
UKGo Mountaineers!

I might be off here and correct me if I'm wrong but if GA loses to LSU in the SEC championship, wont UF be thrown into a BCS game over GA?
OU-Ron

Not sure OU should be in that projection, we may not win another game this year, Our starting QB is out with a concusion (not sure if he can return) # 1 RB out for the remainder of the season and our # 1 & 2 DT are out ( not sure when they can return, other than that, everything looks rosey......

Mr2Bits - Georgia/Florida would be an at-large, if chosen. Either/Neither could be chosen.
