Here's the text from the BCS site:

If a bowl loses a host team to the NCG, then such bowl shall select a replacement team from among the automatic-qualifying teams and the at-large teams before any other selections are made. If two bowls lose host teams to the NCG, each bowl will get a replacement pick before any other selections are made. In such case, the bowl losing the No. 1 team gets the first replacement pick, and the bowl losing the No. 2 team gets the second replacement pick. If the Rose Bowl loses both the Big Ten and Pac-12 champions to the NCG, it will receive two replacement picks.

There are two ways we get to the Rose Bowl:
1. Winning out.
2. Oregon and Alabama win out and play in the NCG.

Since #1 isn't very complicated, let's look at #2. I think the key part of the text up above is this: "...the bowl losing the No. 1 team gets the first replacement pick." The Sugar Bowl would lose Alabama, the presumptive #1, so they'd get first shot at Notre Dame and take them faster than you can say red beans and rice. The Rose Bowl would be next, and everything they've ever said and done makes one believe they'd want a Pac-12 vs. Big Ten matchup. If Stanford's in the top 14, you can book passage to Pasadena.
