Stanfords upset basically
Stanfords upset basically eliminated Michigan's chances of being a BCS team
Best case: Auto bids go to 1) ND, 2) Bama, 3) K State, 4) FSU, 5) Stanford 6) Nebraska 7) Rutgers
8) 1 SEC at large team
9) Oregon likely gets an at large bid
10) Clemson with 2 losses, Oklahoma with 3 losses or us with 3 losses. We would probably get picked over oklahoma, but I don't love our chances to get picked over clemson with them having a better record

Best case is Stanford loses
Best case is Stanford loses at UCLA next week taking them out. If Clemson does lose they will not be getting a BCS bid after the hammering they got last year by West Virginia.

We only need to jump 5 more
We only need to jump 5 more spots, I figure a win over Ohio would give us a 3-4 spots and we would only need another team or two in front of us to lose to get in the top 14.
At this point there is no chance Nebraska loses to Iowa.

Clemson is not going to drop
Clemson is not going to drop below #14, even with a loss. I don't really love our chances of being picked over them for that last at large spot with them having one less loss.

The record doesn't matter
The record doesn't matter nearly as much as TV ratings and ticket sales. I like our chances over Clemson more than Oklahoma, even with the record difference.

Living in upstate SC I've
Living in upstate SC I've seen plenty of Clemson football this season and I personally find them to be very overrated. They've taken advantage of a weak ACC and OOC slate. By the time it's all said and done they will likely have lost to both ranked opponents on their schedule and will have a victory over GaTech as their signature win. Sure they'be scored a bunch and people like that, but let's not forget they got disrobed by WVU in the orange bowl last year and carry very little national influence. If we're up against Clemson I like our chances. It's UT And Oklahoma I'd be worried about.

With the Oregon loss now just
With the Oregon loss now just being in the top 14 isn't enough. Pac 12 will get 2 teams in, SEC will get 2 (you think?), and ND is in. Oklahoma is currently on track for that last at large bid - We need them to lose to have a shot.
But even so, I think Iowa beating Nebraska is a more likely scenario than getting an at large.
Thanks Chip!

The Pac12 only gets 2 teams
The Pac12 only gets 2 teams in if the Ducks get to title game. No one is taking Stanford for an at large over Michigan or quite frankly anybody. Plus teams that lose there last regular season game or a championship game tend not to be popular with bowls. Stanford would have 3 losses and there big win over Oregon while we would have OSU

Oregon and KSU changes nothing really. Only two SEC teams can go and the other 4 will miss out.

Honestly even if we do get in
Honestly even if we do get in the top 14 and there's an at large bid for us I don't think we're going to sneak into a BCS game on our name alone two years in a row. I felt that way before Iowa and I still feel like that now. I just hope we can win our bowl. We've finally put together an all around solid game for a full 60 minutes so hopefully we can take whoever we get paired with in the bowl game. I'm just happy we're back on the path of being a lock for a bowl every year.

ND being at #1 makes me sick,
ND being at #1 makes me sick, and a little nervous that they could actually win. Then I get excited about them being completely disrobed and spanked on a national stage. I don't know what I want.

If ND finished #1, theyd still be top 5 to open next year...that sets up nicely for us when we play them early next year.

I agree with being sick of
I agree with being sick of the SEC, but that is a reality that I can accept. If ND wins, my mind and those like mine will reject it and the matrix will implode, killing all of us along with it. I'm sorry if I don't believe that the Oracle is that influencial or that the Architect is dumb enough to let it happen. This is my working theory anyway.
Secondary hypothesis: The Mayans were right all along... ***12-21-12***

Myself
For me the dream scenario is that ND drops out of the title game slot after all the conference championship games are played and an SEC champ and Big 12 champ slides up to the #1/#2 spots. It won't happen, but it would be great to see the Irish get screwed over by their lack of conference affiliation.

Anyone wishing for ND to win
Anyone wishing for ND to win it to get it out of the SEC's grasp has no idea what is in Pandora's box. It would be AWFUL. Can you imagine the amount of crap we'd have to hear about Notre Dame for literally the next 10 years? If they've been riding all of their seasons from 1990 and before so hard up to the present day, do you know how much mileage they'll get out of a title?? Go USC or Bama or Georgia or KState/Oregon

Seconded
I'm perfectly fine sitting through another winter of SEC fans telling the internet how superior their football conference is versus having to listen to everyone celebrate how the Irish have returned to glory. If ND makes the title game, then I want them shellacked to such a degree as to remove any doubt that they are truly a 9-3, 8-4 team masquerading as a BCS title contender.

We have a pretty good chance....
so long as we beat Ohio this weekend.
There are 10 BCS bowl slots. 5 go to conf champs and one to ND. This leaves 4 at-large slots and none will go to a non-AQ (thank you Utah State) this year.
The SEC gets one at-large fo certain. The Big 12 will also get one as both Oklahoma and Texas are huge draws - both might go to the BCS if both win this weekend and OK is conf champ. The ACC should also get one at large as Clemson is a big draw and will have at most 2 losses.
This leaves one slot for the PAC-12 and B1G (Big East is a non-starter for the bowls), If UCLA beats Stanford this weekend and Oregon beats UCLA in the championship then it is a 3 loss Michigan versus and 3 loss Stanford or 3 loss UCLA. I think Michigan is the more attractive candidate for the bowls especially if it is the Sugar or Orange.
nb God do the computers hate the ACC! FSU not even in the top 25 in one ranking???

Either an OK loss or a Texas
Either an OK loss or a Texas loss to TCU and a Texas win over KSU would take the Big12 down to 1.

Put in Perspective
We lost to Alabama - first Game of Year, ND (closer game than it should have been given the turnovers), and to Nebraska in Lincoln without Denard in a game that could easily have turned out differently had Gardner been prepared to step in at QB.
Nothing anybody on this board isn't thinking already, I just can't stand that we don't get more credit given the teams we have lost to.
Here's to hopping DG get's his medical redshirt, Denard is utilized like he was last week against Iowa, and we can finish out the year with at least two more wins and a prayer for 3 if somehow Iowa can pull an upset. It is at Iowa - just too bad it wasn't a night game.
