OK, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the BSC rankings go like this:

1. USC
2. OU
3. Auburn
4. Cal
5. Texas
6. Utah

Right?

And then what is going to happen is a Big East team (most likely unranked Pitt) is going to come in and take the place of one of these teams? The name I heard was Boise State, where do they fit into this, are they #8?

Is the basic BCS system like this: One national championship Bowl Game between the two best teams in nation. Then the other three games are #3-8 in the nation, but there has to be a representative from each of the Big 10, Big 12, SEC, PAC 10, Big East, ACC conferences. That means that there can be two teams in these Bowls that are either not in one of those six conferences (ie Utah) or else are the second team from a conference (ie Texas). And the controversy this year is that the Big East doesn't have a team in the top 8, so #8 Boise State is going to have to give up their spot so a BSC Conference team can be in one of the bowls.

Is that right?

Also, do they still do it where the Rose Bowl is like the Big 10 champ vs the Pac 10 champ pretty much? I remember the Orange Bowl was always Big East vs. ACC or something? Do they still do they, or do they just randomly say "Orange Bowl is national championship, Fiesta Bowl is 3-4, Rose Bowl 5-6, Sugar Bowl 7-8"?
