I would argue that OSU and PSU are ranked higher than they deserve to be. Many non-BCS conference teams play more difficult schedules than Big 10 teams. I hope UT crushes OSU in the Fiesta Bowl.

There are already all kinds of sportswriters and commentators saying that USC should be playing for the national title. I'm not one of them but they are all over the place.
If Bama loses and Florida wins but doesn't look good doing so, we could be looking at another split championship with the AP giving it to USC.
It could happen. Again.

While the AP voters can rebel and vote USC #1, it's more of an astrix than anything. The agreed upon process is that the winner of the BCS title game is the national champion.

I don't like USC, but is there a better fit for LA and USC than Pete Carrol? That guy is a perfect, he just screams laid-back SoCal.
