The BCS is a joke and must go, but thankfully the Irish are pretty much guaranteed a BCS berth if they win out (need 9 wins and top 12 in BCS rankings), which should be easily attainable with the exception of Tennessee on November 5th (of which they will have 2 weeks to prepare). While most other teams are just now getting into the meat of their schedule and will start playing tougher teams and one another (which obviously equals losses), ND is in a great spot to do nothing but slowly creep up a spot or two in the BCS week by week if they can stay focused. In the end they may just end up in the exact same BCS game they would have if the USC game went the other way (since they already had the MSU loss). Hopefully in a couple years we will be talking about the 4 teams poised to get in a playoff, and all of this BCS bullshit will be out the window...
