I think you can take 2nd in the Pac 10 and get in. USC has been in the title game for a while now and 2nd place has often been enough to get a #2 team in the BCS too.

Personally, I agree with Il Pad that it's a no brainer. There are ten spots, nine of which are split between six conferences, and one of which might, in the case of an undefeated non-BCS, be offered to a team from one of the other five conferences.
So in three of the BCS conferences, two teams are guaranteed a spot; in the other three BCS conferences the conference champion is guaranteed a spot; and for the other five conferences, all fifty teams are left competing against each other for a theoretically possible at-large bid. |

You guys are all smoking crack if you'd rather be in our position than playing in a BCS conference. It would still take a special year to get into a BCS bowl, but the alternative is so much more attractive. Hell we could finish 5th in the Pac-10 and still play Utah in a bowl game.

I still disagree. Oklahoma has proved you don't even have to win your conference to play for an NC. We can still get into a BCS bowl with 1 even 2 losses. No chance of that ever happening in a mid-major.
