Here are the projected playoff matchups that won’t actually be played because the BCS is a ridiculous system.

Remember, top 6 seeds go to conference champs, and the top 4 champs host playoff games on December 17:

(Seeding and overall ranking listed)

#8(4) Alabama @ #1 Oklahoma State in Stillwater, OK
#7(3) Oklahoma @ #2 LSU in Baton Rouge, LA
#6(21) Michigan State? @ #3(5) Oregon in Eugene, OR
#5(7) Virginia Tech @ #4(6) Houston in Houston, TX

I think it’s hilarious that the top rated Big Ten and Big East teams are #16 and #31 respectively, and those aren’t the likely conference champs. Let’s see how it all shakes out in a few weeks.
