Current 2009 Projection

Based on the method posted below, here is what 2009 will look like (current as of 12/6/09):

Sugar Bowl (1) Alabama v (8) Ohio State
Rose Bowl (4) TCU v (5) Florida
Orange Bowl (3) Cincinnati v (6) Boise St
Fiesta Bowl (2) Texas v (7) Oregon

semis:
Sugar v Rose winners
Orange v Fiesta winners

Alabama qualifies as SEC champ
Texas qualifies as BigXII champ
Ohio State qualifies as Big Ten champ
Cincinnati qualifies as Big East champ
Oregon qualifies as Pac10 champ
Florida is an at-large
TCU meets the mid-major at-large qualification
Boise St brings a 2nd mid-major since they are undefeated, ranked in the top 12, and ahead of a big 6 conference champ in the BCS rankings

The ACC champ, Georgia Tech, is left out. They are the lowest ranked big six conference champ in a year with two quality mid-majors. They have two losses already. Some years that would be good enough. This year, it is not.
