Would ESPN bail us out by arranging the match ups so that we get to the Fiesta against Nebraska or Oklahoma? In the BCS bylaws: "5. After completion of the selection process as described in Paragraph Nos. 1-4, the conferences and Notre Dame may, but are not required to, adjust the pairings taking into consideration the following: A. whether the same team will be playing in the same bowl game for two consecutive years; B. whether two teams that played against one another in the regular season will be paired against one another in a bowl game; C. whether the same two teams will play against each other in a bowl game for two consecutive years; and D. whether alternative pairings may have greater or lesser appeal to college football fans as measured by expected ticket sales for the bowls and by expected television interest, and the consequent financial impact on ESPN and the bowls. The pairings may not be altered by removing the Big Ten Champion or Pac-10 champion from the Rose Bowl."
