Projected College Football Playoff and BCS Bowls

Hey guys! I think I'm going to make this a weekly feature for the rest of college football season (which is what, all of 8 weeks?). The first part of the post is going to be about my projected college football playoff I discussed in July, except I've kind of changed how I think the playoff is going to look. Here's a quick outline:
There are 7 BCS Bowls. They are:
Fiesta Bowl
Orange Bowl
Cotton Bowl
Peach Bowl
Rose Bowl
Sugar Bowl
Tangerine Bowl
Few notes:
1) In even-numbered years, the Cotton and Orange Bowls host the semis of the 4-team playoff
2) In odd-numbered years, the Peach and Fiesta Bowls host the semis of the 4-team playoff
3) The Rose Bowl will host the Pac-12 and Big 10 champions
4) The Sugar Bowl will host the SEC and Big XII champions
5) Either the Peach or Orange Bowl (whichever is not hosting a semi-final) will house the ACC champion/Notre Dame
6) After the above rules are filled, the 6 main bowls will pick the top remaining teams in the BCS Standings as at-large teams
7) If, at this point, the top ranked conference champion from the Big East, MAC, Sun Belt, WAC, C-USA or Mountain West (the minor conferences) is not in one of the 6 major bowls, that team will play in the Tangerine Bowl against the top ranked Big 12/Pac-12 team remaining
8) Each conference may only place 3 teams in the 6 major bowls, however
9) If the top minor conference team is already in one of the 6 bowls, the Tangerine Bowl will select the 2 highest remaining teams (can be a 4th team from a conference)
10) No 2 teams from the same conference may play each other in one of the 7 bowls
11) The Rose and Sugar bowls will take a replacement team from their respective conference if they lose a team from that conference to the playoff.

OK, now that I got that out of the way, here's how the playoff would look like this year if the season ended today. I'm using the current BCS standings.
Orange Bowl (semi #1): 1 Alabama vs. 4 Notre Dame
Cotton Bowl (semi #2): 2 Kansas State vs. 3 Oregon
Rose Bowl: 11 Oregon State vs. 16 Nebraska
Sugar Bowl: 5 Georgia vs. 12 Oklahoma
Peach Bowl: 10 Florida State vs. 14 Stanford
Fiesta Bowl: 6 Florida vs. 9 Louisville
Tangerine Bowl: 7 LSU vs. 13 Clemson

For the BCS Bowls, I'll just say what I think the BCS bowls would look like if the season ended today.
National Champ: 1 Alabama vs. 2 Kansas State
Rose: 3 Oregon vs. 16 Nebraska
Sugar: 4 Notre Dame vs. 13 Clemson
Orange: 10 Florida State vs. 9 Louisville
Fiesta: 5 Georgia vs. 12 Oklahoma

That's all for now!
