20) South Florida @ Florida (Sep. 11): Potential upset alert for the Gators and their young Quarterback against a feisty in-state opponent.
19) Iowa @ Arizona (Sep. 18): Interesting Big 10/Pac 10 matchup with experienced teams.
18) BYU @ Florida State (Sep. 18): A 54-28 defeated to the Seminoles last season proved to the game that knocked the Cougars out of BCS contention.
17) Arizona State @ Wisconsin (Sep. 18): A pass-happy, finesse team versus a run-minded squad. Good road test for the Pac 10.
16) Oklahoma @ Cincinnati (Sep. 25): This game will prove one of two things. Can Sooner Quarterback Landry Jones handles his first big start against a non-conference opponent? Or can the Bearcats start back where they left off with a crop of young talent?
15) Oregon @ Oregon State (Dec. 2): This is late in the year, but with USC out of the BCS picture, these two rivals could decide who gets into the Rose Bowl.
14) Pittsburgh @ Utah (Sep. 2): Utah needs this game to earn some BCS credibility with a win, but could lose it all with a loss at home.
13) Miami @ Pittsburgh (Sep. 23): Former Big East opponents will meet in what could be a Top 10 matchup with formidable offenses.
12) Oregon State @ Boise State (Sep. 25): The Broncos beat Oregon early last year and will look to do the same to their fellow state rivals. The Beavers will rely on Runningback Jacquizz Rodgers.
11) Texas vs. Oklahoma (Oct. 2 in Dallas): This Red River Shootout could be an early testing ground for two teams looking to rebuild under center.
10) Florida State @ Miami (Oct. 8): The two "Sunshine State" rivals are picked to win their ACC divisions and could be the ACC Championship preview.
9) Nebraska @ Washington (Sep. 18): The only true non-conference test for the Cornhuskers, while the Huskies will look to defend their home field from a BCS contender.
8) West Virginia @ LSU (Sep. 25): Two BCS monsters in the mid-2000s are now looking to rebuild and get back to that dominance. This will be a nice matchup against eight or nine win teams.
7) TCU vs. Oklahoma State (Sep. 4 in Arlington, TX): Though the Cowboys are rebuilding, this early season game could be a good starting point, while a loss would damper TCU's BCS chances.
6) Texas @ Nebraska (Oct. 16): A potential Big 12 Championship preview will play into the Cornhuskers favor with an experienced team and the "Red Sea" strongly behind them.
5) Penn State @ Alabama (Sep. 11): A matchup of two of the most decorated teams in NCAA history is also an early test for both teams. Penn State is in a rebuilding stage with a brand new quarterback. While this BCS game will put the Tide to the test.
4) Virginia Tech vs. Boise State (Sep. 6 in Washington, D.C.): Boise State needed more games to earn them credibility in the BCS. What they don't need in a repeat of their game with Georgia in 2005 where they were trounced 48-13.
3) Florida State @ Oklahoma (Sep. 11): Two prestigious programs with a lot of history. This game should live up to its billing with two good teams.
2) Florida @ Alabama (Oct. 2): The last two SEC Championship games rematch in this game against the previous two national champions. The Gators are rebuilding with Joe Brantley under center, but the Tide look to keep "rolling" toward a 2nd straight BCS Title game.
1) Miami @ Ohio State (Sep. 11): The Buckeyes have a knack for playing these Top 5 games early with previous matchups against Texas and USC. Miami will be primed, ready, and looking to prove themselves.
