Sad part is that UK may have to finish 12-1 to have a shot at the title, because it's very possible that South Florida will run the table with their toughest games behind them. The Bulls against on the road at Rutgers, at home against Cincy and Louisville, with UCONN, Syracuse, Rutgers remaining. Ohio State has Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan. The Buckeyes could run the table as well, but a tougher task than for them than the Bulls.

I think if UK runs the table and finishes 12-1 they will have a great shot to play for the title. Consider who we would have to beat to get to that point from here (Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, probably LSU again) and I see no way our BCS numbers won't be right there near the top.

I agree that South Florida may be a problem, because they have a very easy schedule from this point. Cincy and Louisville at home is a plus for them, and Rutgers appears to be an easier game than expected. They are #1 in the computers right now, although that should drop as their schedule strength drops in the coming weeks. Still, if they are the only major conference unbeaten, they will likely be #1 in both polls and almost assuredly in the BCS top 2.

As for Ohio State, who knows how good they are? They haven't played anybody yet, but as you mentioned they have some tougher games coming up. I think they will get exposed when they go to Penn State in a couple weeks. Go JoePa!

Boston College seems to be a pretender, surely they'll get a loss somewhere in the ACC, which should remove them from the equation.

As for the one-loss teams, I think South Carolina will lose at Florida, and for us to go 12-1 LSU would get a second loss by losing to us in the SEC title game. Oklahoma is the team that could be a problem here, as their schedule is pretty easy from here on out (road trip to Texas Tech the most likely stumbling block - go Mike Leach!). However, our computer numbers would assuredly be much better than theirs, so we could still overcome the Sooners even if we are a spot behind them in the polls.

Side note, isn't it crazy to even be talking about UK in the football title game? Wow!!
