BCS Selection Order: The order of selection for this year's BCS games is Fiesta, Sugar, Orange. However, the bowls that lose host conference champions to the BCS title game get to replace those teams before other selections are made.
BCS Selection Procedures.

Notre Dame is eligible for all bowls in which the Big East has a commitment, as well as the BCS. It also serves as the backup for the Big 12 in the Pinstripe Bowl.

Navy will be invited to the Military Bowl if it qualifies for selection. Navy has secured similar deals with the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in 2012 and the Armed Forces Bowl in 2013.

Army will be invited to the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl if it qualifies for selection. Army has secured similar arrangements with the Military Bowl in 2012 and the Poinsettia Bowl in 2013. For the 2011 season, a 9th bowl-eligible ACC team is next in line to fill either the PAC-12 or Army's slot, if necessary.

BYU will be invited to the Armed Forces Bowl if it qualifies for selection. The Cougars have secured similar arrangements with the Poinsettia Bowl in 2012 and the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in 2013.

Little Caesar's Pizza Bowl gets the first pick of MAC teams in 2012, and the second pick in 2011 and 2013. The GoDaddy.com Bowl gets the second pick in 2012, and the first selection in 2011 and 2013.

Sun Belt teams with records of 7-5 or better are next in line to fill the Big 10's slot in the Little Caesar's Bowl if the Big 10 does not have an eligible team. The Sun Belt is also the first backup for any opening in the St. Petersburg Bowl, and has a secondary provisional agreement for the BBVA Compass Bowl.

Hawaii is automatically invited to the Hawaii Bowl if it has at least 7 wins. Otherwise, the WAC sends its 3rd-place team.

PAYOUTS: Amounts shown do not necessarily reflect what each school receives. The conferences have different methods by which bowl money is divided among its membership. Some bowl agreements call for higher payouts to one conference than the other, depending on such factors as which is the "host" conference. Many of the above payouts are reflective of past actual payouts, while others are published estimates of anticipated payouts for the current year.
