<p>For the past couple of weeks, the Syracuse Orange seemed to be a lock to participate in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on Dec. 30 at 3:15 p.m..</p>
<p>However, their <a href="http://newyork.sbnation.com/syracuse-orange/2010/11/19/1824569/syracuse-vs-connecticut-orange-still-have-work-to-do">loss to Connecticut</a> on Saturday made their bowl projection a bit shaky as two of the three websites have switched their opinion on where the Orange (7-4, 4-3 Big East) will play. Interesting enough, the odds still favor Yankee Stadium.</p>
<p><a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/15210/big-east-bowl-projections-11"></a><a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/15210/big-east-bowl-projections-11">ESPN.com Big East Blogger Brian Bennett </a><a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/bigeast/post/_/id/15210/big-east-bowl-projections-11"></a><a></a><a></a>still has SU playing in the Bronx and Pittsburgh (6-4, 3-2) earning the conference's BCS bowl bid to the Fiesta Bowl on Jan 1 in Glendale, AZ.</p>
<p>For the last couple of weeks, <a href="http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/bowls/predictions">College Football Bowls at CBSSports.com</a> had the Orange playing in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. This week, the website agrees with Bennett and as Kansas State (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) as the opponent.</p>
<p>In another twist, CBSSports.com has West Virginia (7-3, 3-2) winning the Big East title and earning the BCS bowl bid.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Take your choice -- Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Connecticut, South Florida?," says the website. "Let's say West Virginia, which should beat Pittsburgh next week.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://cfn.scout.com/2/557866.html">Scout.com's 2010-2011 Bowl Projections</a> is the only one who has UConn (6-4, 3-2) earning the New Era Pinstripe invite and Syracuse playing in BBVA Compass Bowl in Birmingham, AL on Jan. 8 at noon.</p>
<p>The Huskies will play Kansas State while SU battles Kentucky (6-5, 2-5 Southeastern Conference).</p>
<p>No website has Rutgers (4-6, 1-4), which needs to win its final two games to become bowl eligible, earning an invite.</p>
