NBL Bowl Outlook 10/28/2009

I know I’m late in getting these up, and these projections were run before the Tuesday and Thursday night games this week. UNC upsetting VT was huge and will really shake up the ACC landscape. I still expect one more loss out of Virginia Tech this season, so the Hokies might wind up being the best 8-4 team in America.

There will be some solidification after this coming weekend with the results of the Florida-Georgia, Texas-Oklahoma State, and USC-Oregon contests.
