Southern California's rise to No. 1 in the polls might not be enough to guarantee the Trojans a spot in the national championship game.
USC took over the top spot in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll released Sunday morning, a combination of its 52-28 victory over Oregon State on Saturday and previous No. 1 Oklahoma's humbling 35-7 loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game.
However, the Sooners are expected to hold their No. 1 position in the final Bowl Championship Series when the final standings and BCS bowl matchups are announced today (5:30 p.m. ET, ABC). The Trojans' position -- they have been second to the Sooners for weeks -- was weakened due to losses by two of their opponents, Notre Dame and Hawaii, on Saturday.
That being the case, the door is open for LSU as Oklahoma's likely opponent in the Nokia Sugar Bowl. The Tigers routed Georgia 34-13 in the SEC championship game and have the upper BCS hand over USC, according to ESPN's Brad Edwards.
Saturday's turn of events will allow LSU to finish eight spots better than USC in schedule strength. LSU now will be able to overcome a one-point poll deficit to USC, as long as it leads the Trojans in at least six of the seven BCS computers, which is expected to happen, according to Edwards.
USC's only hope was to jump to No. 1 and hope Oklahoma fell to No. 2 in either the coaches' or The Associated Press media poll, according to Edwards. The Sooners fell to third in the coaches' poll, where LSU is second.
Since margin of victory is no longer a consideration in the BCS system, the Sooners will remain the top-ranked team in the majority of BCS ratings -- which in turn will enable them to stay in the top two of the BCS.
say goodnight to the bcs... if this does happen, and the #1 ranked team in the polls doesn't play for the national championship, they're going to have to get rid of the bcs as it currently stands. pete carroll gets the shaft again

If USC beats Michigan in the Rose Bowl (I've got to get tickets now) they will remain #1 in both the AP and Coaches polls. The Sugar Bowl just became irrelevant.

My son is not happy. He calls it the Bad Computer System
its their own fault for losing to a not so good Cal team
miami of ohio only has 1 loss and their only loss was to Iowa, who is much better than Cal, thats just the way things go when you lose you leave it up to other factors

They neeed to just eliminate the "C" from BCS so everyone will know what it stands for.
usc put auburn, byu and notre dame on their schedule... all of whom looked to be tough opponents before the season, turned out to be not so tough opponents durring the season, and playing these three ended up hurting usc's strength of schedule, giving lsu the slightest of bcs edges. i think there has to be a split in the strength of schedule section of the bcs... a pre-season strength of schedule ranking and a post-season strength of schedule ranking. that way usc doesn't get penalized because notre dame, who was a top 25 team when they were placed on so.cal's schedule, has a crappy year and doesn't finish over .500. usc tried to play a tougher schedule, but teams they selected didn't do as well as expected, and now they're penalized because of what someone else's team did. load of crap if ya ask me... we need a playoff system... 4 teams, 6 teams, whatever... it needs to be done. let the best team win, and let the teams decided their own destiny, not have it taken away from them because of the result of a meaningless game between two sub .500 teams in the carrier dome

Coaches should vote their conscience
There is a consensus #1 today - the BCS system, designed to create consensus, will only interfere with consensus.
if hawaii or notre dame had won saturday, usc would have gotten in... how is this a fair system, where what happens in a completely unrelated game decides who plays for the national championship game.

A win by Hawaii was worth 0.20
The margin between USC and LSU was 0.16
The margin between USC and LSU was 0.16
well they got rid of margin of victory to stop teams from running up the score... with usc's run of 40+ point victories, i'm sure having margin of victory back in would've helped too... oh well... hopefully some good will come of this... a playoff system.

Running up the score was a problem with teams like FSU
In a number of games, SC would pull starters by the end of the third quarter.
Playoff system is a good solution, but the money is against this solution. Currently, the $$$ from bowl games go to the schools/conferences. A playoff system would be controlled by the NCAA - no one wants to see the $$$ go there.

well that is actually one of the good things about the BCS, EVERY game counts
like i said, USC lost a game and only has itself to blame
there are 3 teams with 1 loss, LSU lost to a great Florida St. team, OU lost to a great K St team, and USC lost to a mediocre Cal team.

It was reported a couple of weeks ago that Washington State's loss to Washington hurt SC's strenghth of schedule - even though SC beat both teams.
Every year they tinker with the computer, every year they risk another unsatisfying result.

I am not a fan of the BCS. I would rather they play for the national title with playoffs. Sweet Sixteen for Football.
