In the lower-tier games, you have two Louisiana teams -- UL Lafayette and Tulane -- playing in what should be a fun New Orleans Bowl to kick things off.

Notre Dame and Rutgers will square off in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium in a game that the Irish will be expected to win handily.

The BCS picture looks quite enjoyable, with the only foreseeable mismatch coming in the Fiesta Bowl, as George O'Leary's UCF will try and hang with the explosive Baylor Bears.

Stanford will try and make it two straight Rose Bowl wins as they take on Michigan State in a game that everyone expects to be low-scoring (so, naturally, the points will pile up), while losses for Alabama and Ohio State mean the Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl get some good match-ups.

Hey, we finally joined Facebook!

The main event, of course, is the national title game, where Florida State will get the chance to test their mettle against Auburn, who is looking more and more like a team of destiny. Both teams have seen high-scoring totals from their offenses, but Florida State's balanced attack and tremendous defense could make the difference.
