Given where UCLA and OSU are currently ranked, finishing the season 2-1 will definitely have us top 14.  Anyone know of the chance that we get picked by the Rose Bowl to match with a Big Ten team assuming Oregon plays in the title game?  If we finish 2-1, we would likely be the only Pac 12 team ranked in the BCS top 14 along with Oregon.

EDIT: the above scenario assumes Clemson would also be in the top 14.  I wanted to understand if there was a chance we could leapfrog Clemson (or another possible team that wasn't eliminated by virtue of being in a conference with two selections already).

I read a quote from a Rose Bowl executive this week that said that they would prefer a traditional Big 10 - Pac 12 matchup, but if there is not an eligible Pac-12 team they would be happy to take the domers. Read into that what you will, but I think if we are in the Top 14 and the Rose Bowl still has a choice, we make it.
