There's no way to call the BCS at this point.
The ACC has some pretty tough competition, including as ESPN notes two four-way tie scenarios in the Coastal division. My guess? A Miami-Boston College championship game. Awe. Some. If it happens, I'll be cheering for Ted's Eagles.
The Big East. Talk about train wreck. The only way this conference can redeem itself is by moving aside and letting West Virginia be its champion. Cincinnati or Pitt in a BCS bowl are just too dreadful a scenario to imagine, but it very well could happen.
The Pac 10? Fascinating. USC's loss to Oregon State is beyond huge, and probably too big a stumble to overcome.
And the Big 12 has one (or two) key games left: Texas Tech at Oklahoma and, if the Sooners win, the Oklahoma at Oklahoma State rivalry game. Then, of course, Tech/Oklahoma/Texas/Oklahoma State has to beat Missouri.
Making all kinds of assumptions, I envision this scenario:
BCS Championship: Florida-Oklahoma
Fiesta Bowl: Texas-USC
Sugar Bowl: Alabama-Utah
Orange Bowl: Miami-West Virginia...all bets are off if the Hokies don't get in. Ted and I agree that the Orange Bowl wouldn't want to swallow a Miami-Pitt/Cincy matchup.
Rose Bowl: Oregon State-Penn State
