BYU
BYU is in control of their own destiny. If they can win the rest of their games they will play in a BCS game. Heck, with the way this season is going, if BYU wins all of their games they may just be playing for the National Championship. BYU has two obstacles on their way to a perfect season. The first being a road game against TCU which will be a tough game for them. The second is playing at Utah in what should be a fantastic rivalry game with BCS implications on the line. This game could mean more than ever this year. The main concern for BYU is if their defense can hold up. BYU has only three returning starters from last years 11-2 team. I think BYU will make it to a BCS game because they have such a great offense and a great quarterback in Max Hall.Boise State
Boise State is known for busting into the BCS game in 2006 and taking down the powerful Sooners of Oklahoma. Last year they were 1 win away from playing in another BCS game. Boise State has been one of the most dominant programs during the last five years having the third most wins of any program. With this fairly young but talented group led by senior running back Ian Johnson, the Broncos have a good shot at playing in another BCS game. The possible obstacles are games At Southern Miss and a game against a tough WAC opponent Fresno State. If Boise State finishes the season unbeaten and BYU loses one game, they will most likely get in.Utah
Utah is led by their senior quarterback Brian Johnson and senior running back Darrell Mack. They got out of September without a scratch but a closer than thought game with Weber State has me feeling skeptical about the Utes. They still must play TCU and BYU at home which will give them an advantage. They also must play the Beavers of Oregon State who are riding high after their upset of #1 USC. The Utes are rolling, winning their last 13 of 14 games but I feel that they will slip up against one of the three teams previously mentioned.Ball State
This is a dark horse for a BCS buster but they may just have the talent, and the favorable schedule to go undefeated. The Cardinals should be 10-0 heading into their two final games against Central Michigan and Western Michigan. The loss of wide receiver Dante Love is a tough one to overcome but it may just inspire Ball State to try harder. Nate Davis is a phenomenal quarterback who possesses great leadership and qualities that NFL scouts love. I think Nate Davis can lead the Cardinals to an undefeated season but many things must fall into place for Ball State to have any shot at playing in a BCS game. Believe!Photos Courtesy of Google
Picked to finish 7th in the Big Ten by sporting news, the 'Lions have rallied over their new found superstar quarterback, Daryll Clark. JoePa has finally arrived in the 21st century with his play calling. The Nittany Lions run a type of spread offense which they like to call "Spread HD". With the dual threat capability of Clark, this offense if perfect for them. They have just steamrolled over their first three opponents this year. They have outscored their opponents 166-37. When the Big Ten season starts the Nittany Lions have to play at Ohio State and Wisconsin which can be trouble. But not to fear, Penn State has plenty of experience. They have 8 senior starters on offense. With this dynamic offense, Penn State may surprise a few people and win 10 or 11 games and find themselves playing in a BCS bowl. 
Utah has quickly become a potential BCS buster this season. Many people feel that they have the talent to run the table and play in a BCS game. After starting the year 3-0 and upsetting Michigan, the only real challenges for Utah are Oregon State, BYU and TCU in which they play those three at home. In my opinion I think they will falter and lose at least two games. They are far too inconsistent to run the table. Remember that this is a team who beat UCLA 44-6 and then was blanked by UNLV 27-0 the following week. This is not a team that I would put my money on to run the table because of their inconsistency.
Alabama started off the year at #24 in the AP poll. After beating Clemson, Tulane and Western Kentucky they suddenly leap-frogged ahead to #9 in the AP poll. Yes, they manhandled Clemson and yes, they do deserve to be ranked this high but I just dont feel that their success will continue. With a brutal schedule (@ Georgia, @ Tennessee, @ LSU and home to Auburn) and lack of experience on defense I would be surprised if Alabama finished the year with 8 wins. Alabama may be a title contender in the next few years but I doubt that they will be this year.
BYU has gotten through the hard part of their schedule already. They played two BCS conference teams in Washington and UCLA. Now, the only two games I could possibly see them losing would be at Utah and at TCU. But I feel that BYU will run the table and play in a BCS game. They have so much experience (the only starter not a Junior or Senior is star running back Harvey Unga) and are very motivated to finally play in a BCS game. Furthermore, they a sure-fire, consistent quarterback in Max Hall who, by the way, threw 7 touchdown passes against UCLA in a 59-0 win. Can you say BCS?
UNC won only 4 games last year but many people, including me, feel that they are this year's Kansas. They return 10 starters on offense and return their entire secondary. This team has the talent to do big things. They must get over a few tough games in the schedule but overall their schedule is favorable to them (missing Clemson, Wake Forest and Florida State). In my opinion this team is capable of winning the ACC. With the conference down, it wouldn't be too much of a long shot if North Carolina shocked the world and made it to a BCS bowl. North Carolina is a 
East Carolina is 16th in the recent AP poll after beating Virgina Tech and West Virginia in consecutive weeks and winning a hard fought game over Tulane. It looks as if ECU is headed for a perfect season and a C-USA title. Before everyone starts talking BCS, remember that this team is notorious for losing winnable games late in the season against conference opponents. Last year they lost to Marshall 26-7 late in the season. They still must play at UCF, at Southern Miss, at NC State and at Virginia. Still convinced that they can run the table? I would be surprised if ECU can come out of the season with only 2 losses. As much as I want them to succeed, I still feel that they wont. Prove me wrong ECU!
