   I doubt Alabama jumps over Ohio State after losing to Georgia, so Ohio State   
   goes to the Orange against Louisville.   
      
   I would move Alabama to the Peach - I still don't see the committee putting   
   two Big Ten teams in the same bowl - and Texas against Missouri in the Cotton,   
   as I think the committee will feel that Missouri's fan base would travel   
   better to Texas than Penn    
   State's would.   
      
   Once all that is done, the next step for the management committee is to make   
   sure one of the schools submits legislation to the upcoming NCAA Convention to   
   change the bylaws to allow teams to play more than two nonconference   
   postseason games as part of a    
   multi-team tournament. (They should replace "conference championship game"   
   with "up to two games in a conference championship tournament" while they're   
   at it - it's only a matter of time.)
