So there you have it. I'll add more as I find them, but so far, the consensus seems to be: 1) The Big Three are Alabama, Oklahoma, and Oregon. 2) The Pac-12 will be a two-horse race between Oregon and Stanford. 3) The Big Ten could be a mess, but it should be some combination of Nebraska, Michigan State, Wisconsin at the end. 4) Florida, Ohio State (suspensions), Texas, and USC (sanctions) should all be absent from the BCS this year.
