A few thoughts
-First off, people who complain about Texas being #2 and not Oklahoma need to shut up. Oklahoma lost to Texas earlier this season 45-35 and both have identical records against relatively the same opponents. Texas Tech beat Texas, but lost to Oklahoma, who lost to Texas. It's a wonderful "love" triangle.
-Florida is sitting pretty to beat FSU and Alabama to vault into the BCS NCG and probably pummel whoever they meet there.
-Utah is definitely a dark horse to make it to the championship game, as well as USC. While Utah's regular season is complete, USC has two easy games left before the regular season is done.
-There could be an argument for Oklahoma vs. Texas in the BCS NCG if both win out, maybe if Florida loses to FSU then beats Alabama. It could get interesting in these last two weeks.
