I would hope that after we beat Ark we'll make up the diff. WV and Rutgers play Dec. 2nd that'll take care of one of 'em.
a USC win over ND should give them enough computer polls over Michigan to overtake them in the BCS. Also depends if a few more voters change their mind and give USC their 2nd place vote over Michigan. If they don't, then this one is going down to the wire just like 2003 for USC (if they win out). Then you're possibly looking at the AP saying phuck you to the BCS and putting USC firmly 2nd in their poll, and then awarding them the AP title should they win the Rose Bowl and Ohio State lose to Michigan in the BCS CG.
I couldn't care less about the AP poll and who they put at one or two. I'm just glad they aren't involved with the BCS rankings.
