Major players remaining schedule:
LSU
Kentucky at home at night
@ Auburn at night
@ Bama day
LaTech at home at night
@ Ole Miss
Arkansas at home
SEC CG
Cal
Oregon State
@UCLA
@ ASU at night
WSU
USC
@ UW
@ Stanford
USF
UCF
@ Rutgers at night
@ Uconn
UC
@ Syracuse
L'ville
@ Pitt
I assume everyone knows ours.
My dream scenario:
-we run the table
-2 loss UF beats LSU in the rematch in Atlanta
-we get to play Cal in New Orleans and enjoy a nearly home field advantage plus match up well vs a non dominant defensive team.
Notes:
-The cocktail party(UF vs UGA in Jax) is essentially for the SEC east crown and the right to play LSU in the SEC CG.
-I just can't see USF or UC running the table
-So much football left to be played and so many upsets this year....

The real winners this week are South Florida and Boston College. They're now right in the thick of it, and absolutely would go over a 1-loss USC or Oklahoma. Florida and Georgia are now done with their second losses. The same goes for Texas. The other leading 1-loss team should be South Carolina, though I doubt that they pass the other USC, followed by WVU and Oregon.
That covers the 1-loss teams (right now) that could sneak in, and they all need tons of help.
Cincy is one of the lowest ranked unbeatens (UConn and Kansas are lower), so they're not yet part of the discussion. Some more shakeout would need to happen just for them to climb into the top 10.
One unbeaten that should move up quite a bit is Missouri. Kansas may crack the top 25 in the human polls, but they'll be outside the BCS top 25. I don't see either of them running the table, if only because Oklahoma is waiting.
Hawai'i is another team like Cincy that I think would get locked out of a title shot by a 1-loss USC or Oklahoma team. I also think that LSU could lose the SEC title game and still go, depending on the circumstances of the game.

ESPN Mock BCS Standings
Ohio State is #3
With both polls and five of the six computer ratings now available, here's a glimpse at what the BCS standings would look like this week. LSU is the clear-cut No. 1 team. The Tigers are top-ranked on all but two ballots in the coaches' poll and in all but one computer, which rounds up to a seemingly perfect BCS average. Cal and Ohio State are basically in a dead heat for second. They have equal computer scores after the high and low rankings are thrown out, so the Bears' narrow advantage over the Buckeyes comes from the polls.
If both teams go undefeated the rest of the way (along with LSU), Cal is likely to remain in the No. 2 spot in the BCS. The Bears' computer rankings will benefit more from the remaining schedule than the Buckeyes' will, so OSU needs to get past Cal (or LSU) in both polls to have a chance of playing for the national title.

Since they don't do BCS standings after the bowl games, OSU was technically #1 in the final BCS standings of 2006.
Monday, they will be #1 in the first BCS standings of 2007.
Our string of consecutive BCS #1s will remain unbroken.

Really, I'm just tickled pink we've got a 28 game winning streak.
That game in Glendale never happened. I've erased it from my memory.  |
