If Florida Trample Florida State, and Notre Dame beats USC by a hair, who should be No.2?

I have a hard time seeing ND at No.2 regardless of what they do in Southern Cal because of the Michigan loss. I think that Florida won't trample FSU, but if they do, Michigan will drop to 3 and Florida will move up just because Mich and OSU are both in the Big Ten. I think this will result in Florida and OSU in the title game. A lot of people want to see a rematch of the game last week, but this will be one of the few chances for a SEC team to get past the loaded conference and show the country exactly how good they are. However, I think that if there were to be a rematch Michigan would win with that recieving core and unstoppable rusher.

for the BCS title, yes - with the exception of michigan i think florida is the only team that could give ohio state a good game\nfor the Rose Bowl, no - the michigan part i agree with, but USC just isnt playing well enough to win against top ranked teams, so id like to see texas or auburn make it\n\nand lets not forget about undefeated rutgers... :)

Notre Dame will be number one.

I'm going with my Irish & Ohio State.  State is bringing back alot of really good players.  Hawk & Carpenter are gone, but Tressel has a pretty deep roster.\n\nGO IRISH

I truly think that Michigan is the true #2 team. I would like to point out that I am a Ohio State fan. \n\nMichigan did play a tougher schedule than USC. \n\nEveryone does realise that there is one other undefeated team in the NCAA shouldn't they have the chance at the title to if USC has the chance with one win.

USC by far!! They had control the whole game. I think they can beat Ohio ST if it happens. I'll get alot of argument's there.

CAL for sure.  Their offense featurees a solid QB, two NFL-ready RBs, solid recievers and special teams and a solid defense.\n\nIf they beat USC in 2 weeks, they should play for the BCS title

If Troy Smith improves his numbers, which he will, because he will play every game next season, he will at least be a leading candidate for the Heisman. He will have to win all of his games because we all know Notre Dame players seem to get the benefit of the doubt when it comes to the Heisman (i.e. Brady Quinn wont have to win all his games to be able to win it). Smith has a great chance if he wins at Texas and runs the table in the Big Ten, meaning beat Michigan, then I think he will be top 3 giving him a chance. I am a Michigan fan, but I like to see the Big Ten do well no matter what. So for me, seeing a really good player in Smith winning the Heisman would be alright. He has killed Michigan lol, we know all about his skills.

Ohio State will be left standing...  ...but...\n\nMichigan, if they get another shot at Ohio State, otherwise Ohio State.  I think they are indeed the best and second best teams.  I say to those that say USC, you shouldn’t have lost to Oregon State, and those that say Florida, you shouldn’t have lost to Auburn.  You have to offer some respect to Michigan for losing to the #1 team in the country, on their home field by only 3 points.  Considering how they fought back, I think they’d beat the Buckeyes on a neutral field.\n\nHowever, I think it will end up being Ohio State, because after USC wins out, I think it will be fresh in people’s heads and they’ll be #2.  If Florida or Arkansas finish with one loss, I know it was the first game of the season, but I’m a firm believer of the transitive property, and the fact that USC beat Arkansas (badly) gives the nod to USC over Arkansas or anyone from the SEC.  I don’t buy the SEC media problem that Jerry referenced.  If there was an undefeated team coming out of the SEC this year, they’d be #1 or #2, and no one would argue it.  If Notre Dame is to knock off USC, then I’ll give the nod to Florida, if they win out.  If it’s Arkansas, I'd give the nod to ND due to that transitive property, again.  I feel strongly that anyone with 2 losses can’t even be considered.  Sorry LSU fans.\n\nSo here’s the way I see it and a BCS scenario with results.  Let’s see what happens.\nOSU is in, and USC can control its own destiny.  Florida, Michigan, & Notre Dame are other possibilities, but need some help.  Everyone else is screwed.  Sorry Arkansas & Wisconsin (which is my team)\n\nSo, if OSU beats USC for the national championship…\n…BCS #2: Michigan over Florida (finish with one loss going in)…\n…BCS #3: Texas over Notre Dame (two losses each going in)…\n…BCS #4: West Virginia over Georgia Tech …\nLeaving Wisconsin and Arkansas left out.  Yikes, might they play each other then.  To appease the SEC argument, we’ll say Arkansas wins that game, and then rank them:\n#1 OSU, #2 Michigan, #3 USC, #4 Texas, #5 Florida, #6 Arkansas, #7 West Viginia…\n\nRight or Wrong, it makes for a fun debate.\nOn Wisconsin!!!

No, ND'S is a long way from being a Big 10 team. They did dominate in NCAA Div 2, but they are going to have a much harder time of it as a NCAA Div 1 team. Notre Dame would be a much better candidate for the Big 10.

I'll hold my judgement until after the USC-Notre Dame game.  I think the jury is still out on how good this Trojan team really is.\n\nIf they have a poor showing, or if the game is close (even if USC wins), I think Michigan is the 2nd best team in the country.

It will work itself out this weekend after Notre Dame demolishes USC. I am very tired of people telling me that Notre Dame has not beaten anyone good this year. So this means that Georgia Tech (9-2), Penn St. (8-4), and Purdue (8-4) are bad teams? I don't think so! Notre Dame should get their chance at Ohio St.
