Still, one of the hottest teams right now.Arizona State (10-2): No marquee wins, but no one can say they have better losses (to Southern Can and Oregon with Dixon).Co-Champions: Southern Cal and ASU (Southern Cal wins tiebreaker and BCS autobid by virtue of head-to-head win)SEC:BCS title contenders: LSU (11-2): Has maintained 'best team in the country' cachet despite a long string of narrow wins and overtime losses. I don't get it, but the SEC superiority cult seems likely to send LSU to the title game.Georgia (10-2): Like USC, one of the hottest team in the country right now, but seems likely to get leapfrogged by one more teams this week despite not playing. Which is perfectly reasonable; Georgia has some very good wins, but has also suffered some really bad losses (not just by okay to bad to teams, but by a lot)Champion: LSUWACBCS title contender:Hawaii (12-0): In any other year, no team with a schedule as soft as Hawaii's would even get half a glance. But when we're talking about putting two-loss teams in the title game, a team that went undefeated, even on a really bad schedule, deserves at least a look.</blockquote>
