The difference between Ohio State and Notre Dame is important because it relies on the computer ratings, as human polls will continue to over-rate Notre Dame as they have always done. Their SOS will still be very respectable but it could fall to the mid-teens in coming weeks, while ours will remain in the top five and perhaps be the top SOS. The computers will do us another favor. The BCS ratings must have the effect of pulling the human polls up to their level. Now we need to crush Illinois, win handily over Northwestern and come out of Ann Arbor with a victory. All in all, I like our chances for about #6 or #7 if we win out, based on the effects of the computer ratings on the BCS and subsequently on the human voters. We can still do this!

This senior class, not even including red-shirts, has a legit shot at ending up in the Top 5 in three out of four years. Plus they have that MNC cherry on top. That's a good career at tOSU.

I don't think it matters if we are top 7 or 8 or whatever.
My understanding is that the BCS 1 & 2 play each other, from there on out the bowls pick from the guaranteed picks and fill in with "at large" teams if any spots remain. To get the guarantee we need to win the Big Ten. To get the at large... someone just needs to pick us. They can skip as many teams in the BCS rankings as they'd like to pick us.

To show what a media [censored]-fest there is with Notre Dame, the human polls have ND at #9 while the computers have them at #22. We're at #12 in both polls with the computers having us at #8. Both Notre Dame and Ohio State have lost very close games at home against top-2 teams, yet Notre Dame's other loss was at home against an unranked team (whom Ohio State beat) while Ohio State's other loss was at the BCS #7 team. What the [censored]?

1. tOSU finishes 3rd: tOSU automatic bid 2. ND finishes top 6: ND automatic bid 3. tOSU finishes 4th: tOSU automatic bid so long as ND isn't top 6 and #3 is a conference champion

Good points Mili! We need some media mogul to thump our case with the facts. Once again, JT and the Bucks are going into a bcs bowl game and put some whip-ass on another "favored" team.

Alabama still has to play LSU and at Auburn. The SEC title game follows that. There will not be more than one SEC team ahead of Ohio State in the BCS if the Buckeyes win out. As near as I can tell from the remaining games, the only way Ohio State doesn't make the BCS is if Va. Tech fails to win out. Ohio State really needs Miami to lose to the Hokies this week.
