With the bowl selections one week away, we continue to believe that Penn State will ultimately be selected for the Fiesta Bowl over Iowa…
November 29, 2009 – Latest Projections
BCS Bowls
Rose Bowl presented by Citi
January 1, Pasadena, CA 5 pm ABC
BCS vs. BCS (Big Ten vs. Pac 10 champion, if available)
Projection: Ohio State vs. Oregon/Oregon State
The Buckeyes are going to Pasadena and will face the Oregon/Oregon State winner..
Allstate Sugar Bowl
January 1, New Orleans, LA 8:30 pm Fox
BCS vs. BCS (SEC Champion, if available)
Projection: Alabama/Florida loser vs. Cincinnati
The Sugar Bowl will lose the Alabama/Florida winner, but will almost certainly take the loser, and thereafter will take the Big East champion.
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
January 4, Phoenix, AZ 8 pm Fox
BCS vs. BCS (Big 12 Champion, if available)
Projection: Penn State/Iowa vs. Boise State
Right now, pencil in Penn State over Iowa to take on Boise State. Since the Big 12 Champion (Texas) will be heading to the national championship game, the Fiesta Bowl will make the second selection and should take the Nittany Lions.
