i posted a comment underneath, which i fully believe in (shocker, i agree with myself)...i'm copying it below.

In order:
(1) I think Florida losing to FSU is a very real possibility, especially considering their offensive...issues.
(2) Georgia will get crushed by Bama. With the BCS overweighting late-season losses, that's not good for them.
(3) LSU should win out, meaning they probably deserve the second BCS slot. But it's also about money--not just for the bowl, but for the city; Baton Rouge is closer to New Orleans than any of the other schools, which would cut down on revenue from things like hotel stays / restaurants / tourism.
(4) South Carolina has a shot IF Florida loses to FSU (possible), Georgia gets stomped in the SECCG (likely), and Carolina beats Clemson (likely). Obviously, a lot has to fall in place, but they still have a pretty solid chance. (Obviously, I'm a Carolina homer.)
(5) No way that A&M beats LSU at home. Three losses = no chance at BCS.
So it seems like the top two possibilities are LSU and USC. They should both be ranked in the top 14 of the BCS, so then it comes down to (1) choosing the best match-up, (2) making the most money, and (3) whether or not there's any desire to spread BCS games across the two divisions (east/west). Of course, this is all assuming that FSU beats Florida, Bama stomps UGA, Carolina beats Clemson, and LSU beats A&M. I'd say two of those are almost sure bets (Bama stomping UGA and LSU beating A&M (yes, I know Johnny Manziel is football Jesus) and two are more iffy (FSU/Florida and Carolina/Clemson)...but LSU and Carolina look like the frontrunners to me right now.
Or maybe not. College football is crazy.
