If Texas wins the Big 12, they will go to the Rose Bowl. I've seen alot of projections for a UT-Boise State Fiesta.
I thought the Rose Bowl was Big 10 vs Pac 10 winner? According to Fox Sports http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/3756322 BCS GAMES Rose Bowl Pasadena, CA Rose Bowl January 1, 2007, ABC BCS vs. BCS (Big 10 vs. Pac 10 if available) Bowl Projection: Michigan vs. USC Fiesta Bowl Glendale, AZ Glendale Stadium January 1, 2007, Fox BCS vs. BCS (Big 12 Champion to play here if available) Bowl Projection: Texas vs. Boise State Orange Bowl Miami, FL Dolphins Stadium January 2, 2007, Fox BCS vs. BCS (ACC Champion to play here if available) Bowl Projection: Georgia Tech vs. Louisville Sugar Bowl New Orleans, LA Louisiana Superdome January 3, 2007, Fox BCS vs. BCS (SEC Champion to play here if available) Bowl Projection: Notre Dame vs. Auburn BCS Championship Game Glendale, AZ Glendale Stadium January 8, 2007, Fox BCS No. 1 vs. BCS No. 2 Bowl Projection: Ohio State vs. Florida
I think that is correct. However I believe there have been times when they throw out the rules. Texas was in the Rose Bowl two years back when technically it should have been Cal. Thank god those things arent set in stone otherwise the BCS would be that much worse. With the new 5th bowl I am not sure if this stuff still applies.
Since USC went to the Championship game...I don't think the rule applies. From what I know, UT will most likely play in the Fiesta Bowl, we do have to win the Big 12 first.
Texas went to the Rose Bowl as a wildcard that year. Unfortunately, Big 12 champ always goes to the Fiesta Bowl. The only exception is if they are in the national title game. (before this year, the other exception was if the Fiesta Bowl was the national title game, but that's no longer the case with the 5th game)
