The BCS is coming together with a few undefeateds falling each week. Currently, Ohio State and LSU are poised to go dancing in the National Championship but both teams have tough competition in the finally weeks of the season. Ohio State has to travel to Illinois before hosting #12 Michigan in the Big Game. LSU, after squeaking by #15 Florida, #25 Kentucky, and #18 Auburn, has a fiesty Arkansas team the day after Thanksgiving.

Oregon, with Heisman candidate Denis Dixon at the helm, keeps rolling on all cylinders. The Ducks have to go to Los Angeles to play the Bruins, but Oregon should defeat them just as they beat Southern Cal. Look for the Ducks to win out and find themselves in the National Championship game against LSU.

#4 Kansas and #15 Hawai'i are the only other two undefeated teams in the BCS. Kansas plays division opponents Iowa State and #6 Missouri and then could play in the Big 12 Championship Game. The only challenge the Rainbow Warriors face is WAC opponent Boise State, but the #20 Broncos would like nothing more than to knock off an undefeated. If Hawai'i can get by Boise they should work their way into the BCS.

Boston College fell in a hotly contested game against Florida State in tropical storm conditions at the Heights. The Eagles are still a very good team with a potent offense and defense. The Seminoles proved, however, that if you stop the Matt Ryan's passing attack you essentially stop BCs offense. Look for them to win out and win the ACC Championship against either Virginia or Virginia Tech. BC should find themselves in a BCS game in January.

The Big East has seen its share of surprises over the past two seasons. First, it was Rutgers turning around a completely abismal program to send them to a major bowl. Earlier this year, South Florida proved themselves to the nation with several key wins, but faltered recently and will probably find themselves on the outside looking in on the BCS. West Virginia is still the best team in the Big East, but has Louisville this weekend. The Mountaineers won't be playing on New Years this season, but it won't be because they accepted a bid to a small bowl.

The Big 12 is more competitive as ever, but the Sooners appear to have a strong hold on the Southern division. Missouri and undefeated Kansas are battling for the Northern title, but Colorado has shown great promise this year. Oklahoma will be heading to another BCS game and will be seeking revenge for last year's game against Boise State.
