No I believe you are correct. However as I read the BCS fine print, I think there is an at large exception if the same conference has the number 1 and 2 teams playing for the BCS championship. However it reads very tricky so I guess We will hear more about it. I think Mich/Ohio State 2 will happen if USC should lose to Notre Dame or UCLA. However if USC wins out I think they will pass Michigan.aceduecetrey said:

Just can not be enough room for these 2 + wiscy + Notre Dame....
Could you imagine if Purdue would have gone unbeaten in the big 10 and they would have recieved the Rose Bowl Bid and these 2 (mich and OSU) would be playing for the National Championship and neither would have even been the conference champ!

If this is true , it just goes to show what a total farce this BCS s-it is ! It really is unreal IMHO You should note however that right now Michigan is number 2 BCS but if USC wins over Notre Dame and UCLA... I'm pretty sure that USC will pass them. I'm not saying it is right or wrong but it just proves once again how silly this is and how much We could use a 3 team playoff after these bowl games and yes... Wisky should be in one of the 4 final big bowls!Wrigley said:
I think that USC would still pass Michigan if they beat Notre Dame and UCLA. Arkansas winning helps you are correct but remember that the polls still account for 66 2/3 % and USC would be ranked number 2 in the polls if they win out. Do you recall a few years back when USC was ranked number 1 in both polls and didn't even get invited to the BCS game ? Well that is why the BCS changed their phony formula and have given more credit to the polls to prevent that from happening again. If USC wins out... I'm pretty sure they will go !guitarjosh said:
LA Times had an article about a week ago where they went over the possibility that the Rose Bowl would be USC vs Rutgers and how they hated that.
With a rematch of tOSU and Michigan, the Rose Bowl would choose USC and another BCS team not from the Big 10. Back then, the no brainer would be Rutgers since they were undefeated but now it sets up a rematch scenario with USC vs Arkansas(if they beat Florida) or ND.
If there is a rematch, I'd like to see USC vs Florida in the Rose Bowl.

The NCS game rotates, it was just done because remember they made a big deal about how they were adding BCS spots so the little conferences had a shot to get a spot if they were worthy as well? This was their answer, instead of adding another lower bowl game, just make one game an NCS and you have essentially created 2 more spots.
The Rose Bowl basically gets first dibs on any Big 10/Pac 10 team that is in the BCS and not in the title game. They don't have to take them though. Rose Bowl is a game that never has to worry about selling tickets, but one has to wonder when it will ever have another "old school" matchup.
I can't express to you enough how stupid I think this BCS system is but all I know is that the experts clearly say that if USC wins their last 2 games , they will be in the Championship game. go to www.bcsfootball.org/bcsfb/rankings and you will see how complicated it is.guitarjosh said:
