Only team outside of LSU and the Big 12 teams with a chance for a marquee win (vs. Southern Cal) before the bowls; my expectation is that if they win out and LSU loses or the B12 South team wins the B12, they'll get in the BCS title game, but I don't think they'll do it.Expected final record: 10-2 (loses to Southern Cal)Projected champion: Southern Cal due to tiebreaker edge; Oregon loses at least one of UCLA or Oregon State w/o DixonSEC:BCS title contender:LSU (10-1) - No serious threats before SEC title (LSU has a spot locked up) game on their schedule, but I can't help feeling this team's due to run out of luck soon. Still, will be in BCS top 2 until/unless they do before then.Expected final record: 11-2 (loses SEC title game)Projected champion: Georgia (Tenn loses to KY, so Georgia wins SEC EastCurrent BCS Bowl Projections BCS Title:  West Virginia (BE) vs. Ohio State (B10) Rose: Southern Cal (at-large) vs. LSU (at-large) Orange: Virginia (ACC) vs. Arizona State (at-large)Fiesta: Oklahoma (B12)  vs. Boise State (autobid for being in BCS top 12 or above lowest-ranked BCS conference champ)Sugar: Georgia (SEC) vs. Kansas (autobid as BCS#3/4)Assumptions- LSU will lose the SEC title game, because they're not playing well enough to beat a decent team right now- Hawaii will lose, and so drop out of top 14- With projected further losses, Boise probably does make into into top 12 at 11-1- Without Dixon, Oregon splits final two games- Southern Cal beats Arizona State- Oklahoma's QB will be okay next week and for B12 title game- 11-1 Kansas probably is in BCS top 4</blockquote>
