anyways here are the matchups
South (New Orleans, LA)
4 Florida International (UR, 6-6, Sun Belt) at 1 Auburn (#1, 13-0, SEC)
3 Michigan State (#9, 11-1, at-large) at 2 Oklahoma (#7, 11-2, Big 12)
West (Pasadena, CA)
4 Miami (OH) (UR, 9-4, MAC) at 1 Oregon (#2, 12-0, Pac-10)
3 Boise State (#10, 11-1, WAC) at 2 Arkansas (#8, 10-2, at-large)

3 Virginia Tech (#13, 11-2, ACC) at 2 Wisconsin (#5, 11-1, Big Ten)
East vs. South, Southwest vs. West
changes: Miami (OH) replaces Northern Illinois as MAC champion; Wisconsin takes Big Ten automatic bid over Ohio State and Michigan State because of the highest BCS ranking amongst the three; Boise State takes the WAC automatic bid over Nevada and Hawaii because of the highest BCS ranking amongst the three; Connecticut takes the Big East automatic bid over West Virginia and Pittsburgh because of its head-to-head wins against the two teams; Arkansas and Oklahoma are out of place to avoid rematches in regional final
