With the schedule a 25% complete CBSsports.com takes a stab at the lineups.

Gator Bowl FSU v ND

Eight of ND's "Fluffy" schedule opponents are tabbed for bowls.

PapaJohns PIT v So Car
Capital One UM v MISS
Outback MSU v UGA
Holiday USC v KU
Texas Arizona v Navy
Humanitarian Nevada v Air Force
EagleBank MIN v BC
Poinsettia Utah V UW

Preseason I didn't expect UM, BC, or UW to win 6 games.

Everything I see says Gator Bowl, ESPN has 2 that predict every week. If we go 10-2 we are going to the BCS. Take that to the bank, especially with Utah and BYU out. I am not certain we are not going to 11-1, yeah I said it, we can beat USC.

A ND-FSU bowl? I would love that! I mean, I'd rather us be in a BCS bowl, but one that's only 150 miles away from where I live would be nice. BTW, how awesome is it to see USC not in a BCS bowl?

ND v FSU could be a track meet. ND's run defense is ranked #96 by NCAA while the Noles run defense is ranked #101.

I wanna see a capital one bowl rematch of ND vs scUM.... That would be awesome. IMO

Where are the refs from? The crew that worked the UM/ND game frequently is selected for bowl games.

Bowls ensure that a team from a neutral conference will officiate during the bowl games.

We can pick it out of a hat. I don't care what refs we have. If we play a bowl game rematch AND we get MFLoyd back we will beat scUM.

Haha call me crazy but if you told me ND could get a rematch with Michigan in a bowl and would kick the living piss out of them, I'd take it over a BCS bowl!

I like the Miami match up. Bama plays GREAT defense and runs it constantly, not feeling that one

In all honesty, I think you people are setting your sights too low if you're hoping to meet back up with Michigan in the bowl season. I hope for the best for UM, but this is the second season of a rebuilding, and 3/4 of our team are either freshman or sophomores. UM got a nice win against ND (at home), but got some lucky breaks. I'd be ecstatic if UM only lost two games this year, but will not be shocked with five (OSU, PSU, and a few of MSU, UW, Iowa or Illinois, and/or a potential surprise).

Nonetheless, with or without Floyd, it doesn't look to me like ND should lose another game on the schedule, with the exception of USC.
