Default BCS Bowl matchup predictions

It is never too early to start making predictions of who will be playing where in January.
Here are my bowl predictions for the 4 BCS bowls.
Subject to change as more games are played of course.

ROSE
#1USC vs #2 TEXAS

FIESTA
BIG10 Penn State vs AT Large UCLA

SUGAR
SEC Alabama(maybe Georgia) vs BIGEAST West Virginia

ORANGE
ACC Va Tech vs At Large LSU (maybe Alabama)

Looks like Va Tech is going to get hosed this year......

UCLA will lose to USC and won't make any of those 4 bowl games.

I see VA Tech vs. USC. Texas will lose 1 game this year to somebody.

Well they are certainly running out of chances to lose.
noone except AandM to beat them in the south, and in the bigXII championship they will play colorado again. I don't see it, but I guess we will see.

#1 USC v #2 VT
UT (big 12 champ) - LSU (sec champ)
Wisconson (big 10) - ND (at large)
WVU (big least) - Alabama (at large)

UT win out and is on outside looking in when VT passes them in BCS standings due to strenght of remaining schedule. ND squeeks in on the ND BCS rule. 'Bama finishes with just the 1 loss to LSU.

Why do you say that?
I have UCLA beating USC,
VT losing to FSU,
UT winning out,
Bama losing to UGA,
and ND winning out.

Which one of those is far fetched?
