Bowl projections: The latest updates



Which BCS bowl will take UCF and who will the Knights face?

Florida State did it. Auburn did it. Ohio State didn't and in the BCS title game it will be the undefeated Seminoles against the Tigers for all the marbles.

3 P.M. UPDATE: Some wheeling and dealing has come along with the Armed Forces, Heart of Dallas and Hawaii Bowl mixing up conference affiliations. Middle Tennessee State accepted an invite to the Armed Forces to play Navy, which was set aside for the Mountain West. The MWC has reportedly agreed to send someone to the Heart of Dallas with the Pac-12 sending a representative to the Hawaii Bowl.

4 P.M. UPDATE: A mix-up of MAC teams based on reports from beat writers.

4:30 P.M. UPDATE: The MWC and MAC have made their picks official. Ohio and East Carolina will meet in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl in St. Pete.

UPDATED: Oklahoma is projected to be in the Top 14 of the BCS standings and therefore a likely pick for the Sugar Bowl. The chart has been updated to reflect this change (and there are plenty of changes).

Ohio State's loss sends them to the Orange Bowl and Alabama to the Sugar, setting up a meeting between Tide and Oklahoma.

We'll know for certain on Sunday night, but this is how we see the bowl schedule setting up.
