USC wins out, then its a definite, they are in. The SEC champ with 1 loss, that's a different story. Depends if the voters wanna see a rematch of OSU/Mich or give a 1 loss SEC team the shot at Ohio State. I can't even begin to tell you how significant style points are from here on out. Arkansas not only needs to beat LSU, they need to beat LSU soundly (10+ points) and then beat Florida soundly (10+ points). Florida needs to make FSU look so bad that they might wanna considering firing the head coach, not just the OC. And then of course beat Arkansas soundly (10+ points). Florida in addition needs the sound beating of LSU by Arkansas. Scores like 20-17 just won't cut it. The voters will make sure of that. Notre Dame is done. Michigan will stay ahead of them in the human polls and Notre Dame can't make up that difference in the computer polls. Michigan sitting at home for the next 2 weeks may be their achilles heel. Talk about a golfer in the clubhouse posting a -10 with the leader at -11 and the 3rd place guy with a -9 both playing on the 17th fairway. Bottom line: voters get to pick who they want in the BCS title game.
