If OU or USC loses I would bet that OSU falls to the Capital One Bowl vs Georgia.
If OU loses I see the Fiesta bowl being Missouri and Utah. If USC loses and OU wins it will be USC vs Texas.

Sugar or Orange Bowl. I am not sure which one normally gets the top SEC team. Whatever bowl that is will get the second SEC team since the first placed team will be in the NC game.
USC loses to UCLA and they are out of the BCS IMO. How many USC fans are going to travel after the loss?
....But should they? Texas's whole argument over the B12 south tiebreaker was that they beat OU head to head so they should go (even though it was a 3way tie with Txtech).
So if OU loses, shouldn't Texas stick to their same standards and realize that Texas tech should go ahead of them based of H2H?
What would be their argument? Maybe that they are a hotter team, better body of work over the entire season, higher ranking, etc ? Kinda the same argument that OU made
If Texas is ok with them getting a title shot over a texas tech team they lost to, it would be hypocritical for them to argue about OU over the B12 tiebreaker.
It will be the Sugar Bowl. The Orange Bowl gets the ACC Champ and the Sugar Bowl gets the SEC Champ. Since the SEC Champ will go to the NC the Sugar Bowl will take the loser of the SEC CG.
Loser is going to the Sugar bowl.....it is the natural spot for the SEC.
With the SEC champ more that likely in the NC title game, sugar will get a top 2 pick for their bowl.
I'm betting its either Bama or UF
Jump Texas in the BCS poll....that is it!
Ou or Mizzu will get a bid..... Texas as a top 4 team will automatically get one too.
No conference can have more than 2 teams in the BCS.
So.....Jump Texas
Just to note that the Sugar doesn't HAVE to take the SEC runner-up, but we all know they will

My personal opinion is that if OU loses in the B12 title game Texas or Texas Tech should not get a shot at the NC game. I feel that you should have to win your conference to get a title shot. My title game in this situation would be USC vs Bama or Florida.
Auburn AD: Tuberville's resignation a surprise - College Football - Rivals.com
I have to call BS on this. The Auburn AD says he was suprised by Tubs resignation. Give me a break! He "quit", broke the contract, and the university is going to pay his buyout because it is the "right thing to do"?
Anyone buying this?

We could be headed to a split National Championship.
The AP currently had Texas over Oklahoma.
If Oklahoma narely beats the SEC champion in the MNC and Texas dominates Ohio St. in the Fiesta Bowl, the AP could easily vote Texas #1, while Oklahoma gets the BCS #1 slot.

That's a good thing. They know a win for one is a win for all in recognition for the conference.
A miracle.
Wouldn't they go by head-to-head matchup first?
I understand your point about not winning your conference but I do think this would be one circumstance where Texas would be able to side in the minds of the voters because the tiebreaker senerio.
If winning your conference is a must in your eyes and others, that's fine.
So if OU loses, why USC?
Why not PSU?
-- USC's one good victory was against Ohio state at home....PSU beat them on the road. The one team (assuming USC beats UCLA) that USC lost to, OreSt, is the same team that PSU crushed earlier in the season. You can argue that OreSt is not the same team they were when they played PSU, but neither is Ohio State from when they played USC.
Why not Utah?
-- Utah's record is unblemished....USC with one loss. That loss....to a Ore St team that Utah beat! The MVC is 6-1 against the Pac-10 this year. Of all the years that a Non-BCS team deserved to go over a 1 loss BCS team, this is it!!!
The BCS has no H2H criteria, its just the top 2 ranked teams.
Now.....If texas and texas tech finished tied for 2nd in the final BCSrankings, then there is a H2H tiebreaker that would give the bid to Tech in the BS rules.
