The BCS is teetering on being absolutely terrible. I'll explain after the projections. As always, these are if the season ended today, not what is going to happen:
National Title Game: Texas vs. Alabama
Rose: USC vs. Penn State
Fiesta: Oklahoma vs. Ohio State
Sugar: Georgia vs. Utah
Orange: FSU vs. West Virginia
Yes, you could switch Utah and West Virginia. I just think the Sugar wouldn't want the rematch. It was a good game, so a rematch isn't crazy.
Now, a conference can only have two teams in the BCS. With the SEC and Big XII dominance, that severely limits the BCS pool:
1. Texas, 2. Alabama, 3. Penn State, 4. Oklahoma, 5. USC. 6. Georgia, 10. Utah, 11. Boise State, 12. Ohio State, 13. TCU. (Also have the ACC and Big East AQs)
That's it folks. Teams in the top 14 not eligible: 7. Texas Tech, 8. Florida, 9. Oklahoma State, 14. Missouri. Granted, a bowl could take Florida over Georgia, so I'm just saying the third SEC team in the BCS standings isn't eligible.
So, if Ohio State loses another game, the BCS will not be happy. Florida State is 15th this week, so they move into the top 14, effectively eliminating one of the at-large teams.
That means you have two non-BCS teams who must get selected, which would make for some interesting decisions. That's another column for another day.

Ohio State never goes away!
Utah loses putting Boise State into the BCS. Mark it down.
