I subscribe to Husker Locker. The following is the possible match-ups given 
various outcomes.

*At Husker Locker, we try to let the bowl picture shake out a bit before we 
start handing out any predictions on the issues for Nebraska. Now that we've 
traversed ten games, we continue our weekly Bowl Watch. *

Ready? Ready!

Now, remember – when reading through this, please remember two key things 
that most national pundits almost never do:

*1.* After the BCS, the slots are merely a guide. The No. 3 Big 12 team 
doesn't really have to go to the Holiday Bowl, for example. It'll be a cold 
day in hell before you ever see Florida or Georgia in the Cotton Bowl ever 
again, as another example. The slots are really meaningless. The bowls try 
to create games they think people will attend in person and often, the bowls 
work in concert to make it happen. That's how NU headed to the Gator Bowl 
last year despite finishing behind Missouri.

*2.*Teams with the best following get more preferential treatment. This 
includes Nebraska.

On with the watch, which takes the best game Nebraska could play in – the 
Fiesta Bowl – and works down to the worst - the Texas Bowl.

*BCS Fiesta Bowl*
*Nebraska must:* Win the Big 12 Championship.
*Likely opponent:* Boise State, Penn State
*Odds:* Very Poor. Texas is darn good.

*Cotton Bowl*
*Nebraska must:* Lose to Texas in the Big 12 title game
*Likely opponent:* LSU
*Odds:* Zero. Oklahoma St will land here.

*Holiday Bowl*
*Nebraska must:* Lose to UT
*Likely opponent:* Oregon State or USC
*Odds:* Good. We still think this is the spot.

*Alamo Bowl*
*Nebraska Must:* Goal achieved
*Likely Opponent:* Michigan State
*Odds:* Poor. Holiday will gobble up NU

*Sun Bowl*
*Nebraska Must:* Goal achieved
*Likely Opponent:* Stanford
*Odds:* Zero.

*Insight Bowl*
*Nebraska Must:* Goal achieved
*Likely Opponent:* Minnesota
*Odds:* Zero.

*Independence Bowl*
*Nebraska Must:* Goal achieved.
*Likely Opponent:* Georgia or Kentucky
*Odds:* Zero.

*Texas Bowl*
*Nebraska Must:* Goal achieved
*Opponent:* Navy
*Odds:* Zero.

Our Big 12 bowl projections:

BCS title: Texas vs. Florida
Cotton: Oklahoma State vs. LSU
Holiday: Nebraska vs. Oregon State
Alamo Bowl: Texas Tech vs. Michigan State
Sun Bowl: Oklahoma vs. Stanford
Insight Bowl: Missouri vs. Minnesota
Independence Bowl: Texas A&M vs. Kentucky
Texas Bowl: Iowa State vs. Navy
