    USC Doesn't deserve a no. 3 ranking, they lost to an unranked team, the shouldn't even be in the top 10. The majority of 1 loss teams lost to ranked, or were ranked at the time, teams. Gators lost to auburn, louisville lost to rutgers, west virginia lost to louisville. This demonstrates a bias in the bcs. You can also see it in the officiating of the pac-10 games where some questionable calls always go in favor to usc. If notre dame keeps it's game up, despite the fact they're basically scrimmaging against the service academies, they might beat USC, dashing their hopes at a title game. But I think to get quality teams, take your pick from any number in the SEC, excluding the red-headed step child, Vandy. It'll be the winner of the OSU/Mich game vs. an SEC team, (most likely Florida, they're the kryptonite to Arkansas). ACC is defunct as a league, especially when you have titans like FSU and Miami scraping the Barrel, and Wake Forest !?!?! is ranked. Big East hasn't convinced me, and I point and laugh at the Big 12 and, WAC and Mountain Divisions. BCS Champs, in a nail biting, grinding nightmare game, Gators come out on top, by the slimmest of margins. Only as long as they can stay healthy. OSU is gonna take a few hits in the Mich Game, but will still win, at the cost of injuries to linchpin players. Simply because it is such a vicious and bitter rivalry.

    There will not be an OSU/Michigan rematch - that score is settled this weekend no matter what the outcome.

    USC wins if they win out.

    Notre Dame has a chance if they beat USC.

    Rutgers isn't qualified no matter if they win out or not.

    Texas could come in if USC and ND mess up.

    A one loss SEC team could play.

    No they won't finish #2 because they will lose to Cal and/or ND.

    I think OSU and Michigan will end 1 & 2 and play a rematch for the championship.

    If they win out, then yes, they'll play the winner of the OSU-Michigan game. But they still have to play Cal, Notre Dame and UCLA and I don't see then winning all three games. All I can say is Go Rutgers! Now who saw them coming?

    All depends.

    We were all talking and it could very well end up OSU/Mich in the championship game.

    because if ohio state would lose and everything else...they would still be 2......

    but ohio state won't lose..

    If they win out, they would have to be #2, the OSU-Mich. loser will drop at least two spots (depending on the score).

    In my opinion USC will not win all three of its remaining games vs Cal, Notre Dame, and at ucla, too much pressure on them. So they will wind up with at least two losses and not make the BCS title game

    it's gonna be tough, but USC will beat cal and notre dame. why? because they play at home. the trojans will not let up at home and end their home game win streak.

    now, now...i'm not saying the trojans will blow out the rest of their games. i think they'll be close, but they will win them.

    i think they will play michigan for the national championship!
