CBSSports.com Predicts The Bowl Games
The champions of selected conferences are contractually committed to certain bowls, unless they are No. 1 or No. 2. (ACC: Orange; Big Ten: Rose; Big 12: Fiesta; Pac-12: Rose; SEC: Sugar). If a Bowl loses a host team to the title game, then the bowl gets first choice at a replacement team. The rest of the selection order for 2012 is as follows: Fiesta, Sugar, Orange.
Comment: With Oklahoma in the title game, the Fiesta Bowl will most certainly take Texas A&M or Oklahoma State. With one of the biggest surprises, Michigan will be the second-best team in the Big Ten and land here.
