Many of you have asked me for an updated Bowl Projections listing since USC was eliminated from bowl contention recently. [1]

If you are looking to find out where your favorite school may be bowling this season, look no further than the 2010-2011 bowl projections here at Football-Bowl.com, the leading online destination for information on college football bowl games! [2]

In this week’s bowl projections, I’m still calling Oregon vs. TCU for the BCS title game, Wisconsin vs. Stanford in the Rose Bowl and Auburn vs. Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl. [3]

If you are looking to find out where your favorite school may be bowling this season, look no further than the 2009-2010 bowl projections here at Football-Bowl.com, the leading online destination for information on college football bowl games! [4]

Along those lines, in some instances we have moved teams around in the pecking order so they won’t return to a bowl they played in last season. [5]

With Alabama’s victory over Auburn, I think the Crimson Tide lands a spot as a BCS at-large team in the Orange Bowl opposite ACC champion Virginia Tech. [3]

Here are my current projections for all 35 of this year’s bowl games which includes the BCS Championship game. [1]

Under terms of the most recent BCS agreement, the first time the Rose Bowl loses a team to the national championship game and a team from outside the Big Six conferences is an automatic qualifier, that team will play in the Rose Bowl. [5]

1) The BCS games that lose their natural tie-ins get the first choices of at-large teams, and after that it goes Orange, Fiesta, Sugar in the selection process. [6]

Meanwhile, Texas will be heavily favored in every game after this weekend’s game at Oklahoma State throughout the rest of the season and if both teams finish with unblemished marks, they’re going to play for the National Title. [4]

For example, teams like Michigan and Florida will be hot properties this season despite having down years because their big fan bases are known to travel well. [2]

Oregon now gets my pick to go to the Rose Bowl and a lot of the other Pac-10 teams get bumped up. [1]

In some situations, other conferences have deals to provide teams if the “original” conference can’t fill its spots; in those instances, the fill-in conference first fills it own bowl slots. [5]

Georgia Tech qualifies as the ACC champion, which has their tie-in with the Orange Bowl. [4]

Enchanted was a surprisingly great, fun modernized Cinderella tale, including 3 show- stopping musical numbers where the test audience applauded after each song. [1]

A smart re-imagining of fairy tale tropes, Enchanted features witty dialogue, sharp animation, and a star turn by Amy Adams. [2]

Classic Disney animation meets contemporary urban chaos when a frightened princess is banished from her magical animated homeland to modern-day New York City in a romantic comedy penned by Bill Kelly (Blast from the Past), directed by Kevin Lima (Tarzan), and featuring music by composer Alan Menken and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. [...] Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in the blissful cartoon world of Andalasia, where magical beings frolic freely and musical interludes punctuate every interaction. [3]

Giselle (Amy Adams) lives in Andalasia, an animated fairy tale world with talking animals, characters breaking into song and “happily ever after” a foregone conclusion. [4]

A classic Disney animated fairy tale meets with the modern, live-action romantic comedy in Walt Disney Pictures’ ENCHANTED. [2]

This is the first Disney movie to be distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures instead of Buena Vista, due to Disney semi-retiring the name in May 2007, making all other future Disney movies permanently distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. [3]

A classic Disney fairytale collides with modern-day New York City in a story about a fairytale princess who is sent to our world by an evil queen. [1]

Featuring an all-star cast, the film follows the beautiful princess Giselle (AMY ADAMS) as she is banished by an evil queen (SUSAN SARANDON) from her magical, musical animated land and finds herself in the gritty reality of the streets of modern-day Manhattan. [2]

Written by Bill Kelly and directed by Kevin Lima, the film stars Amy Adams, Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Timothy Spall, Idina Menzel, Rachel Covey, and Susan Sarandon. [4]

Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer. [1]

The plot focuses on Giselle, an archetypal Disney Princess, who is forced from her traditional animated world of Andalasia into the live-action world of New York City. [...] The film is both an homage to, and a self-parody of, conventional Walt Disney Animated Classics, making numerous references to Disney’s past and future works through the combination of live action filmmaking, traditional animation and computer-generated imagery. [...] While Enchanted topped the DVD sales chart on the week of its release in the United States, narrowly defeating the DVD sales of I Am Legend, the Blu-ray Disc sales of I Am Legend were nearly four times the number of Blu-ray Disc sales of Enchanted. [4]

Schwartz found that it was easier to justify situations in which the characters would burst into songs in Enchanted than in other live-action musicals as its concept “allowed the characters to sing in a way that was completely integral to the plot of the story.” [3]

Robin… Superboy… Impulse… They are the junior partners, the proteges, the heroes-in-training - in some ways ready to work without the safety net provided by their mentors in the Justice League, and far from prepared in others. [6]

… in the first issue, they awaken the android superhero Red Tornado from a self-imposed dormancy; Red Tornado would remain a supporting character in the title, acting as a mentor/chaperone to the foundling team, feeling that his interaction with the boisterous teens will help salvage what he felt was left of his humanity. [...] Like the original Teen Titans, Young Justice was centered around three previously established teen heroes, Superboy, Robin and Impulse, but grew to encompass most teenaged heroes in the DC Universe. [...] The team first appeared in Young Justice: The Secret (June 1998), before graduating to their ongoing monthly series. [...] The team was formed at a time when DC’s usual teen hero group the Teen Titans had become the Titans, a group consisting of now adult former Teen Titans. [3]
