With the 1954 football season just past the halfway mark the New Year's day bowl games are becoming the topic of conversation in most football circles. No bowl picture is complete, and to confuse the situation even more some of the better teams in the nation are not eligible for bowl play, or the schools themselves frown on the practice.
The Orange Bowl has the most interest in this area because of the participation of a Big Seven school, Oklahoma, the power of the conference, is unable to play in the 1955 classic because of a conference ruling barring a team from making the trip two consecutive years.
With OU practically a shoo-in to repeat as Big Seven champion the second place team will get the nomination, but the race for second place is still quite confusing.
At the moment Nebraska has the inside track to Miami. The Cornhuskers have defeated Missouri and Colorado (both strong contenders) and Iowa State this season, while losing to Kansas State. Nebraska has Kansas and Oklahoma yet to play, and it looks like it will finish its league play with a 4-2 record.
Missouri, defeated by Nebraska 25-19 Saturday, is still in the running. The Tigers have defeated Kansas State and Iowa State, for a 2-1 record at the moment. The Tigers could lose two more games (Colorado and Oklahoma), and they still have the finale with KU.
Colorado, with two conference losses, would have to defeat Missouri and K-State to be in the bowl picture.
Kansas State, also with two league losses, would have to defeat Iowa State and Colorado.
Iowa State and Kansas are out completely.
Nebraska has been playing inspired football for the last three weeks and if the team can hold its playing edge for the KU and OU games the Cornhuskers will be smelling the orange blossoms.
The Big Seven's opponent in the Orange Bowl is narrowed to Duke and Maryland. Because these teams do not play each other during the season, the team with the best record will represent the Atlantic conference. Maryland has a 3-2-1 record and Duke 3-1-1.
The Rose Bowl, oldest of the postseason games, is more settled than the other games. Undefeated Ohio State and once-beaten Southern California (by TCU) are in the best positions. The Buckeyes have two

big hurdles to get past, Purdue and Michigan, and USC has Stanford, Washington, and UCLA remaining. The Trojans could lose to UCLA and still represent the Pacific Coast in the Rose Bowl because the Uclans participated in the last game.

Arkansas is now the best bet to be the host team in the Cotton Bowl. The opposition can come from anywhere. Southeastern conference teams are usually good selections for bowl games, but the league seems a little weak this season compared to other years. Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Mississippi have winning records but nothing impressive. And the Razorbacks defeated Ol' Miss, so that eliminates one team.
The Southeastern champion is usually the host in the Sugar Bowl. West Virginia, which was humbled by Georgia Tech in the last Sugar Bowl game is back in the picture again this season. The Mountaineers have a 5-1 record after losing to Pittsburgh Saturday.

Many of the better teams are unable to compete in post season games because of conference or school rulings.

Two new leaders appeared today in the Big Seven conference-Buddy Leake of Oklahoma in the scoring department and Ted Rohde of Kansas in punting.
But from a team standpoint, Nebraska was the standout in last week's action when the Cornhuskers vaulted into a front running position in the race for an Orange bowl assignment.
Three other teams still were contending Nebraska for the New Year's day trip to Miami—Colorado, Missouri, and Kansas State.
