BCS - down to #9

Well, this is better than I was thinking it would turn out. Thought we'd plummet to double digits, but apparently they still like us, just that we're not as good as Oregon (and definitely out of the National Championship picture).

Based on the BCS countdown crew's analysis today, we still have a chance at a BCS bowl. Apparently any of the BCS top 14 teams are eligible for an at large bid to a BCS bowl. We need to play solid games and beat Cal and Notre Dame solidly to have a chance. Having Andrew Luck as a Heisman front-runner is a reason why a bowl (Fiesta?) would want The Cardinal at their place.
