i should put top 12 down because of auto bids. 11. ohio state 12. boise state recall that the rule is only one of the non bcs teams get an auto bid even if two are in the top 12. which is unfortunate. in all probability, 3 or 4 of the top 15 at seasons end will be non-bcs teams (Utah, Boise, TCU and BYU). No matter what a non BCS team will get in this year - even if theyre not top 12. There's no chance that one doesn't end in the top 16. One of BYU, TCU, and Utah will end up there, just by winning their conference championship. Their ranking will be higher than an ACC winner (and probably the big east winner) that is another auto bid as long as theyre top 16.
