Wave good-bye to former BCS #1 Ohio State and say hello to #1 LSU and #2 Oregon. With the previous #1 losing to unranked Illinois, the Ohio State Buckeyes have plummeted to BCS #7, vacating the top spots for LSU and Oregon. The rest of the top five are rounded out by yet undefeated #3 Kansas, and one loss #4 Oklahoma and #5 Missouri.
After beating the Cal Bears at Berkeley this weekend, the Trojans have elevated their position from BCS #17 to sit on the fringe of the BCS top-10 at #11. If Oregon remains in one of the top two spots and USC wins out, it’s likely the Trojans will play Ohio State at the Rose Bowl on January 1rst. Now all the Trojans have to do is wait until Thanksgiving. Because while the rest of us are eating Turkey, USC will be playing for the goose that lays the golden egg, attempting to beat a very strong #8 Arizona State team and get another shot at the Rose Bowl.

And god forbid Kansas win out. In my mind this could cause only one of two terrible scenarios. Either Kansas supplants Oregon to play LSU for the national championship…and who would want to see that match up? Or LSU and Oregon play the BCS championship and all of the state of Kansas gripes and whines about the BCS system that denied them their right to the title. It’s a lose-lose. So lets hope Missouri beats Kansas when they play on November 24th.
