BYU 11th in both polls
Utah is 17th in both and TCU is 23th in coaches, 24th in AP.

I think we could drop a spot or so during our bye week, but at this stage in the season, we are positioned for an auto inclusion if we win out.
Go Cougars, Beat the Aggies!

Obviously if BYU wins out they'll get a bid. The same is true of Utah and TCU. But isn't the "winning out" part the tough part? |

Now you're starting to see what it's like for those teams that are not the anointed. No room for error.

Under the current system, I think it's easier to get there in our position. I'd rather join the PAC 10 or Big 12, for both the level of competition and the money, but I don't see as perennial champions of either conference. |

It's a no brainer. It's always easier for someone in the club to get in. Even those that don't win the auto bid only have to be ranked higher than any non-BCS team in the BCS polls.

All the Big East and ACC teams have to do is win their conference and their in.

The Big East or ACC (or Big Ten, for that matter) are obviously the easiest way in, but irrelevant in our cases. |

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.
