Bowling

With 8 Big 12 teams becoming bowl eligible this season and most likely 7 to 8 spots open, it will be interesting to see which teams get picked to attend which bowls. Although records do matter somewhat in these selections, the final decision on where to place each team (other than auto bids) depends on one thing, Money. These bowl selection committees only care about butts in the stands and eyes on the TV screens. With ATM playing Texas close last week and having a key win against a bowl eligible texas tech squad, the Aggies chance of making it to the post season look all but certain (despite not having a known defense).

Here is a look at projected bowl match ups involving the Bowl Championship Series and schools from the Big 12:
BCS title game: Florida vs. Texas
Cotton Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. Tennessee
Holiday Bowl: Nebraska vs. USC
Alamo Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Michigan State
Sun Bowl: Oklahoma vs. California
Insight Bowl: Missouri vs. Minnesota
Independence Bowl: Texas A&M vs. Auburn
Texas Bowl: Iowa State vs. Navy
