WOW!! These games really throw a wrench into the picture. I think Michigan-OSU will be the national title now.

Had to block a Field Goal against USC with time expiring to scrape a 16-17 win.I'd actually like to watch Arkansas play Ohio State in the National Championship. It might not be the correct pick, but it's just the one I'd be the most interested in. Since Arkansas probably won't make it, lets hope Ohio State loses to Michigan and plays Arkansas in a bowl game.

Either way though, the teams with a somewhat feasible chance are Ohio State, Michigan, Florida, USC, Notre Dame, Arkansas, and Rutgers IMO.

Cal. would be with 5 wins over ranked teams but their loss coming to unranked Oregon State.I'm dead serious when I say I want it to be Arkansas and Ohio State though. That's a game I'd pay to watch but will get for free.
I think the path to a rematch is getting clearer every day. Arkansas, Rutgers, Louisville, West Virgina, all have been cleared out. Notre Dame is already cleared out due to their loss to Michigan. That leaves USC and Florida. Florida losses the SEC title game, they're out, if USC loses either of their next 2, they're out.

Ummm just so you know, the only team that possibly has a shot at the BCS title game right now is USC. They must keep beating the shit out of ND as is, to take that spot from Michigan.

But in reality it is probably going to be one of 3 teams playing Ohio State.1. USC (Assumeing they beat Notre Dame which is likely)2. Florida3. Michigan
Heard some things during tonights SoCal/ND game.. pretty interesting.This was the 63rd straight game where SoCal scored 28+ points.In Pete Carroll's career.. he's only lost once by 7+ points. That's sick.

That's sick.</div>To be fair, he's at the most exclusively good team geographically in the nation.Still sick, but it'd be more impressive if he had to compete for the top prospects in his area (like everyone on the East Coast). Of the top 100 prospects on the West Coast, Pete Carroll does not even have to try to get 85 of them to commit to So. Cal. A phone call "Hey John Quest, this is Pete Carroll and we'd like you to come be a Trojan" "Sweet Coach, I'm on my way" is all it takes for the majority of them. Because if you want to win national titles and not leave the West Coast, So. Cal. is your only legit shot. The next closest is Texas.
Oh, and if Florida wins the SEC Championship they should get the National Title bid.Michigan lost their last game, and no matter what anyone says, So. Cal. still lost to Oregon State

After what U.S.C. did to Notre Dame I think it should be USC Vs. OSU because Michigan doesn't even deserve it, after there loss.
And then there were 3!!MichiganFloridaUSCI'll be rooting for Arkansas and UCLA to clear out Florida and USC. That way there is no choice but to play Michigan-OSU again. And honestly, I think Michigan would have won the game if not for that helmet-to-helmet hit late in the game
