And Any of the 5/6 choices are worthy but I think it is about the juiciest matchup for ratings and since this is the last year of 4 before it expands to 12 next year there is no precedent

Regardless of who they chose their was going to be some controversy and some people upset

FSU has a legitimate grievance, it won all its games with the QB out, did it not? How do you go unbeaten and get left out in favor of TWO teams with a loss?

Georgia Texas choice could go either way although Texas barely won several games and lost to a team outside the top 10.

To me the winner of the Orange Bowl will be the de facto National Champion.

Georgia vs. Florida St. Two storied programs battling for it all.

The BCS tourney is for the IBF or WBO title, or a LIV golf event. Maybe the BCS winner can play the Orange Bowl winner on ppv to unify the belts.

Early odds show nobody giving Washington a chance. The other three are pretty closely bunched.

As an Indiana University grad, I'm pulling for Washington. Michael Penix gave us some great games before leaving Bloomington.

All 4 are worthy even Washington

With That Said I think it is

Alabama over Michigan (potential to be an epic game)
Texas over Washington

Sadly Alabama over Texas

Michigan won't play Texas. I expect Washington to beat Texas in about the same fashion as last year's Alamo bowl, where many of the same players (and most of the key players) were involved from both teams. Washington won that game by a touchdown and was only tied about half-way through the first quarter, with the Longhorns playing catchup the rest of the day. Texas had no turnovers and Ewers threw for 369 and they still couldn't win. Of course it's a bigger stage now, but as I said, I expect the same.
