In another, 11th-hour BCS development, sources tell me the Fiesta Bowl committee took an unexpected turn in it deliberations this week and is now leaning heavily toward a matchup of the two undefeated mid-majors, TCU and Boise State. That would leave the Orange Bowl free to select Iowa or Penn State and send Cincinnati to the Sugar Bowl to face Florida.

Iowa had been the surefire Big Ten pick for the Fiesta Bowl; I have no idea, however, whether the Orange Bowl will select the Hawkeyes or Nittany Lions.

How many conferances have 3 teams with at least 10 win?

Big Ten is only conference with Ohio State, Penn State, and Iowa all with 10 wins so far.

So sounds like an up year for the Big Ten overall.
