I went to this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_bids_to_college_bowl_games) on wikipedia and used the Order of Selection Criteria to come up with this list (with the exception of the Chick-Fil-A Bowl). I used the bowl's home team to decide how to name the Bowl.
For example, in the first game after the top rankings, the home team is from the Big Ten. The first Big Ten Bowl game after the BCS is the Capital One Bowl. I simply carried on from there.
I took the top 4 games and renamed them as BCS Games. Instead of naming one the BCS Championship, I called it the BCS Championship Sugar Bowl (since it's held in New Orleans this year). This keeps the integrity of the top ranked teams in Final Ranking games.
Here's what I came up with (hope you enjoy):
