Yes, I know, Downgrade is Next Week. But still...
Some of you may remember that I did this once in the past. Pairing the BCS Finalists with the 4 Losers among the 4th place NFL Teams. Well, I'm doing it again, and adding two Mid-Major Teams to face the losers of the Conferences that weren't represented in the BCS Title Game. (In the ACC's Case, the 6th place of the Division that lost the Conference Championship, so Duke lives another day...)
BCS/NFL:
Previously Won Matches:
The Detroit Lions enter the group 0-2 having lost to both Jacksonville (38-14) and Washington (25-17).
And, of course, the Florida Tebows defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 24-14.
Matches to be Decided:
Florida vs Jacksonville
Florida vs Kansas City
Florida vs Washington
Florida vs Detroit
Oklahoma vs Jacksonville
Oklahoma vs Kansas City
Oklahoma vs Washington
Oklahoma vs Detroit
Kansas City vs Jacksonville
Kansas City vs Washington
Kansas City vs Detroit
Jacksonville vs Washington
Middle/BCS
I don't think any of these six teams met, and if they did, I'll say they didn't for the purposes of this Downgrade Pool. So we still have the "Middle Finals" yet to fight, though you could use Boise St.'s loss to TCU as a proxy victory for Utah. Goodness knows they've earned it at New Orleans. Anyway...
Utah vs Boise State
Utah vs North Carolina State
Utah vs Louisville

Boise St. vs N.C. St.

Not bothering with FCS, BTW. No point in dealing with Light
