We took our rankings and substituted them for the BCS rankings. Then, we went ahead and assigned each of the BCS bowls as they would have happened under the assumption that the selection rules would have been followed and each bowl, when it chose, would prefer the highest ranked team that it could choose. It changes things a bit (the biggest change is that our analysis gives Utah State an automatic bid instead of Northern Illinois). Here are the BCS bowls as they came out for us:
| National Championship Game | #1 Oregon | #2 Alabama |
| Orange Bowl | #14 Florida State | #49 Louisville |
| Rose Bowl | #20 Wisconsin | #10 Stanford |
| Fiesta Bowl | #8 Kansas State | #5 Notre Dame |
| Sugar Bowl | #3 Florida | #15 Utah State |
