Bowl projection thoughts/questions

Someone like Chip Brown would be great to help illuminate the bowl tie-in confusion. Since the Fiesta Bowl is technically the plus-one bowl, do the conference contracts stand? Is Texas obligated to play in Glendale or can they be selected to play elsewhere?

The BIG 12 has a tie in with the Fiesta Bowl, but I'm not sure if the bowl officials are bound by the ties or not.

The 2nd Fiesta Bowl (plus one bowl) gets the last pick for an at-large. This could mean a 2-3 loss ND, 1 loss Mich/OSU, or the more likely scenario since they pick last Boise State.

Question: Would the BIG 12 and Dodds raise a stink about this match-up?

How likely is this scenario?

Rose Bowl = Mich/OSU vs. USC/Cal (option to take anyone if winner of BIG 10 is in champ game)

Sugar Bowl = Gators vs. W. Virg/Lville or at-large ND (first pick)

Orange Bowl = Pick-em ACC vs. probably at-large SEC team/Tenn? (2nd pick)

Fiesta Bowl = Texas vs. Boise State unless they lose
