All I Want For Christmas is…

For College Football to play out like this:

Notre Dame to beat USC on Saturday.
Florida to beat Arkansas in the SEC title game
West Virginia to take the Big East title
Nebraska to take the Big 12 Championship

because that would likely setup the following BCS Bowls:

National Championship: Michigan v. Ohio State
Sugar: Flordia v. Notre Dame
Rose: Wisconsin v. USC
Fiesta: Nebraska v. Boise State
Orange: West Virginia v. Geogria Tech

And then I’d get to go to the Rose Bowl. However, this is unlikely – because its an explicit violation of BCS selection procedures (we can’t have three teams from the Big Ten). There is some possibility though that if the above situation happens, the Badgers can end up as either a 4# or #5 – which would force the NCAA to determine which rule matters most (4 – Auto Qual) or no three teams. WhileHence the blog to Santa. Come on Santa… I’ve been a good boy all year, can the Badgers be in the Rose Bowl by some miracle? Pretty, pretty please?

Because probably only Santa can deliver, the rest of you are still going to have to supply presents elsewhere. Might I suggest plane tickets to Orlando?
