The BCS Standings are very soft below 20.  Trouble is that the Standings above 10 are also solid.

Rose Bowl as the Pac-12 AQ - That is the best path.  Would love to see it happen, but this dream could get crushed on Saturday.
Rose Bowl as the Pac-12 #2 - Seems like getting back into the top 14 will be tight.  Best if UCLA beats USC then all Pac-12 programs would be addressed.  Oregon would beat OSU, UCLA would beat USC, and Stanford would be UCLA.  Might be best if Notre Dame was Oregon's opponent in the BCS CG, so a K-State loss to Texas would be great.  The good news is that Texas would be Big12 #3 in the top 14.  The bad news is that there might not be space for Stanford.
Other BCS as the only top 14 option - With Florida State and Clemson at 1 loss this path probably will be gone if one of them is not upset this weekend.  Losing in that final week to a super  ::) SEC team likely will not cause a 2 loss ACC team to fall below a 3 loss Pac-12 team.
Alamo/Holiday/Sun as Pac-12 #2 or Pac-12 #3 - It seems probable now that Stanford will be one of the better non-SEC teams without a BCS invite.  Still even with 8 wins the team is essentially already at our collective preseason expectations.

Still, what a treat to get to entertain Rose, BCS Bowl & Pac-12 CG possibilities in mid-November
