Also: any BCS with Wannstache should trigger a playoff, beginning next year.

Wanny is not a championship coach, ever.

You definitely could be right, my thinking was that they would rather have TCU than Boise State, and that USC will fall to them anyway, whereas the Sugar might also prefer TCU and grab them ahead of time.

I know Iowa travels pretty well, but some of this will come down to Bowl pride- some certainly have more than others, but will they deign a team with two losses in the last four “worthy” to appear in their bowl? They certainly might, but it’s hard to say. I still suspect that Iowa fans will celebrate a 10-2 season in Orlando, not Arizona. They haven’t been down here since 2005, so that should be nice. From what I remember of them, good group of folks.

I dispute one thing.

The Fiesta Bowl will take, with their replacement pick will take USC or Iowa (which I’ll discuss a touch more in depth tomorrow).

The thinking being, they’re going to get stuck with TCU whether they pick them first or next-to-last (Sugar nor Orange are taking TCU). Picking USC will give them a guaranteed name draw to sell tickets; picking Iowa will give them the vast traveling fan base that TCU might not have.
