UCLA and USC question

[Roshan]

Apparently USC already has the Pac-10 BCS automatic berth secured. I don't get how this is possible. IF UCLA beats USC then shouldn't UCLA be the Pac-10 champions and get the automatic BCS berth, becasue they would each have one loss and UCLA would then hold the tie breaker. Can someone please explain how USC has already clinched the Pac-10 title.

no, usc would win tie breaker between ucla, oregon, and themselves, usc and oregon both beat arizona where as ucla lost, and usc beat oregon so usc would get the bcs berth

UCLA loss to an unranked team. Don't forget Oregon also only has one loss.

Didn't something like this happen a few years ago with Oklahoma? I feel like they lost the big 12 championship game, but still went to the national championship... or at least a BCS game.

usc gets the tiebreaker because they were the champs last year. stupid rule if you ask me, but whatever. thems the breaks.

Do the Bruins come in 2nd with a win...who wins the tiebreaker between oregon and ucla? Both only lost to 1 team the other team beat and the teams didnt play each other

I'm not sure what would happen between UCLA and Oregon..since they'd probably look for common opponents, UCLA would have beaten USC which Oregon lost to, but Oregon beat AZ which UCLA lost to.

Things would be so much different if UCLA didn't lose to a shtty AZ team =/

UCLA would get the #2 spot with a win, since you can't compare head to head, they go to the point system. Oregon played a 1AA team OOC, so they get fewer points for that win, and would be 3rd in conference standings.
