UPDATE: Yeah, yeah... I totally blew the number of at-large teams. I look forward to USC's inclusion in the BCS as an at-large team. That's a big fat "D'oh!" to me, and thanks to the many of you who emailed and Commented to correct me.
USChadenfreude: Not only will USC not play in the Rose Bowl when they lose the Pac-10 title tiebreaker to Oregon State, but they won't even play in a BCS bowl.
(Of the 2 at-large spots, one will go to the Alabama-Florida loser, from the Sugar Bowl, which will lose the SEC title-game winner to the BCS title game; the other at-large spot will go to Utah or Boise State. That puts USC in the "Pac-10 No. 2" spot for the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30. Hey, at least it will be a good game -- it's against the No. 3 team in the Big 12.)

I'm a Michigan/Iowa fan, and I understand why you hate Michigan (we're better than you), and Notre Dame (holier than thou), but I have no idea why you hate Iowa or why you hate USC. USC -- and this is coming from someone with a pretty objective view on the Pac 10 -- seems like it would be the greatest place in the world. Do you just not like them because they're good? Or are there deeper reasons?
Except that there are 5 BCS bowl games not 4 so there are 4 at large spots to be filled. The teams are likely to be 2 SEC teams, 2 big 12 teams, 1 Big 10 team, 1 ACC team, 1 Big East team, 1 non bcs school and Oregon St. and USC.
Nice try Dan.
Umm.. did we not move to 10 bcs spots (meaning 4 at large teams) as of the 2007 season? USC is in fine shape to get one.
