ESPN expert Brad Edwards kicked things off this morning with his BCS analysis in which he presented a couple different scenarios, depending on who is in the national championship game.
If Alabama gets placed in the Allstate BCS National Championship Game, I can envision the following matchups for the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl and the Allstate Sugar Bowl:
Fiesta -- Oklahoma State vs. Stanford
Sugar -- Michigan vs. Boise StateIf Oklahoma State earns the No. 2 spot, however, here's how I see things shaking out:

Keep those fingers crossed.
