What happens if Rutgers or Louisville run the table?
Fiesta Bowl?
Has very little to do with them and everything to do with what happens around them. If they get enough help, they could be in the title game. If all the big schools keep this up, probably pushed all the way to Orange who has the last BCS pick (especially Rutgers). The only way the Sugar/Fiesta happen is if a school like Boise makes it that they want even less.
Have to keep an eye on Boise State and Ohio, as well. Not for the championship game, but potentially to crash a BCS bowl.
All one needs to do is finish in the top 16 and ahead of at least one of the champions of an AQ conference. Boise currently is No. 21, Ohio 24. Their best bet, obviously, is that the eventual BE champion fades or a team like Cincy still manages to win the league. Less likely is that a team other than Florida State wins the ACC -- certainly possibly, since NC State would be in good shape to win its division if it beats Clemson.
Ohio has some interesting chances to gain some exposure coming up. After facing Miami (Ohio) on Saturday, their next three games all would be mid-week TV games on either ESPN2 or ESPNU.
