Early projections for the Basketball BCS

Championship game: North Carolina vs. Connecticut
Orange Bowl: Louisville vs. Texas
Fiesta Bowl: Duke vs. Notre Dame
Sugar Bowl: Gonzaga vs. Tennessee
Rose Bowl: Michigan State vs. UCLA

Sorry about your luck, all you non-championship game teams. You can’t win the title. Neither can you, Purdue, Oklahoma, Arizona State, and the rest of the top 25- especially you, Xavier and Memphis. Just forget about it.

I know it's unseemly to have a team like Gonzaga in the BCS, but according to the rules, they qualify. Don't worry, we'll change the rules next year. It won't happen again.

Note: Michigan State, Purdue, and Wisconsin have each lost a game. You might think Michgan State's loss to Maryland will keep them out of the BCS, since it is worse than losses to UConn or Oklahoma. However, that loss was a day earlier than Purdue's and Wisconsin's, so the Spartans are still expected to get the bid.
