    i think if USC wins and FL loses we are all but guaranteed Rose bowl still. That would move us to #4 and one of the rose bowl guys already said something about #3 vs #4 being a dream come true.

    I just want USC to win and so all the crazy scenarios are out and I consider us a lock once USC wins.

    Here's the full quote from 'Dumb and Dumber' (you may have been too busy crunching all of these BCS numbers to watch it :)):

    I understand your logic, but I think it's much better for USC to win here. I guess I say that because I would so much rather have an LSU/UM Rose bowl than any other possible outcome.

    I started another thread with the following post:

    With the Rose Bowl seemingly in hand, here are the people to root for today in case we get snubbed:

    1. Connecticut over Louisville OR WVU over Rutgers - removes Louisville from at-large contention
    2. A) UCLA over USC AND Arkansas over Florida - LSU guaranteed an at-large and prevents Florida from surpassing Michigan (which would have sent LSU to the Sugar Bowl)
    ....OR
    ....B) USC over UCLA AND Florida over Arkansas - prevents Florida from at-large contention

    Worst case scenario for LSU to avoid today: Louisville wins, Rutgers upsets WVU, USC wins, Florida loses in a close epic match
    Result: LSU in contention with Notre Dame, Louisville and Florida for 2 remaining at-large berths

    Connecticut @ Louisville 11:00 ESPN
    USC @ UCLA @ 3:30 ABC
    Florida vs. Arkansas @ 6:00 CBS
    Rutgers @ WVU 6:45 ESPN

    Enjoy today's games!
