It’s official: We’re #2!
Posted by on Monday, November 3, 2003 at 6:10 pm

USC is on the inside track for the Sugar Bowl! The official BCS numbers are out:

1. Oklahoma: 2.24
2. USC: 7.02
3. Florida State: 9.52
4. Miami: 10.25
5. Ohio State: 11.47
6. Virginia Tech: 12.47
7. LSU: 14.92

That looks like a cushy edge, but Rich Tellshow estimates that, if both teams win their remaining games, our 2.5-point advantage over Florida State would shrink to about 0.5 points by the end of the season, on the basis of strength of schedule. Eek! All the more reason to root against Florida State, and also against FSU’s previous nonconference opponents and for our previous nonconference opponents.

Mostly, though, we just need to root for USC against Arizona, UCLA, and Oregon State. Fight on, Trojans!!!

Interestingly, undefeated-but-unrespected Texas Christian is now #9. Is it possible that, with a few more losses by Top 8 teams, TCU could move into the Top 6 and be guaranteed a big-time bowl berth?
