Today's treasure hunt -- look for confirmation before the selection show

It won't be official official until the announcement is made during the BCS selection show.  But there are usually hints out there for people looking closely enough.

In 2004, someone who had an inside connection with ABC obtained leaked ad copy for the upcoming Michigan-Texas Rose Bowl before the announcement.  It was posted on a Texas message board, and I watched the selection show 100% confident we were in.

Last year, the moment I finally gave up all hope occurred when someone found the Orange Bowl link with official championship game gear, featuring UF and OU logos, already for sale before the selection show.

Can anyone find similar hints today?

I hope its not TCU vs Boise St. Id rather Boise St win there bowl game and TCU get handed a loss so they can quit bitching about how they are the best team in Texas

This has been the consensus projection

for a couple of weeks. Boise-Idaho (Fiesta), Alabama-Florida loser (Sugar) and ACC champ (Orange), with Cincinnati and TCU the other two teams (one each for Sugar and Orange). None of those matchups thrills me, though Florida-Cincy could be wild.

Yeah....

….was just a little surprised because of the recent TCU-Boise talks the last few days. Glad those two teams won’t be matched up again. They need a chance to play some of the BCS teams to earn that respect they crave. That’s what I want to see as well.
