Now that 11 weeks are in the books in college football, FOX Sports.com has posted its bowl projections. In its top projection, FOX has Oklahoma, not Oregon playing LSU in the national championship game.
Here are FOX’s projections for the five BCS games:

Projection: LSU vs. Oklahoma
Just like most pundits, FOX doesn’t believe Kansas will survive the rest of its schedule, seeing as how they have them playing Georgia in the Cotton Bowl and Mizzo in the Fiesta. With how good the Jayhawks’ offense is, I wouldn’t count them out but I understand why I’m in the minority with those thoughts. If Boise State and West Virginia meet in the Sugar Bowl, oddsmakers are going to have to set the over/under total around 200 I think. Ohio State vs. Virginia Tech would be an interesting defensive battle.
