NCAA Football Bowl Projections

This past weekend will most likely be one of the defining weeks in the college football season. Alabama continued its dominance as they beat LSU for the third consecutive time. Stanford ended Oregon's national championship dreams for the second season in a row, and proclaimed themselves as serious title contenders. And Baylor kept their name in the hunt with a route of Oklahoma. Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, and Baylor are the only AQ schools that are still undefeated. It is likely that two of these teams end up playing for the national title in Pasadena. But then again, a lot can still happen. The Ringer Poll is what we use here. This is where your favorite team would likely be headed if the Ringer Poll is what determined the BCS and bowl games were to be set today. (Rankings are based on current Ringer Poll)
