Not only does USC's "we can give up 2 timeouts to wear whatever f-ing color uni we want" gimmick upset me greatly, I am terrified of what is going to happen when USC wins this game. I don't think I can take ANOTHER blowout loss to Oregon State in a bowl game, which is where this is headed. If USC loses, Oregon State goes to the Rose Bowl, but if USC wins, Oregon State is likely in the Sun Bowl kicking our asses. Sweet.
Because I don't trust the BCS computers to do what everyone thinks they will (when have they?), here are my BCS predictions:
Rose Bowl - PSU vs. USC - easy to predict this one
Orange Bowl - Cincy vs. ACC - does anyone care who wins the ACC? Will anyone watch this game unless every other channel is showing infomercials? If I'm the Orange Bowl, I'm booking Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake for halftime just so people will watch at least part of the game.
Sugar Bowl - Florida vs. Utah - wait for it...
Fiesta Bowl - Boise State vs. Alabama - what?... I trust that the Fiesta Bowl will realize that Boise is rated higher in the BCS than Ohio State and that all Americans outside of Ohio are tired of watching Ohio State lose by 40 in BCS games.
Championship - Oklahoma vs. Texas
Here's how I see it: Oklahoma and Florida both win, but since Texas is already #2 in the computers and Florida can only make up ground in the USA Today poll since Oklahoma would go to #1 in the Harris and Florida is already #2, Florida can't make up enough BCS ground to overtake Texas in the standings. Obviously everyone would bitch, but if people want a playoff to ever happen, this is the scenario everyone should cheer for.

I'm going to defer to Blozar if this NC scenario is truly possible. I do agree that no one outside of Ohio wants to see Ohio State again. On the other hand I wouldn't mind watching Ohio play Texas and lose by 40.
It's going to be interesting. It could definitely happen if the voters put Texas and Oklahoma 1-2.
Unless Oklahoma and/or Florida win by a blowout, the votes are going to be split, meaning you won't have a consensus 1, 2 or 3. Then it comes back to the computers.
The computers love Oklahoma. Texas shouldn't drop. It will come down to how much the Alabama win helps Florida.
What would be crazy is if Alabama beats Florida. Oklahoma wins ugly over Missouri, and you get Alabama-Texas in the national title game.
