This looks right to me--Based on these projections, it looks like Cats do 
have a worst case situation  of Motor City Bowl -yik! ---Though if OSU beats Mich 
and gets into a BCS bowl,we should move up to at least Music City --and of 
course Sun or Music City committees could take us vs the others such as Minnie 
and Iowa
