The 2012 BCS bowl picture is likely to see a non-AQ finish ahead of the lowest-ranking AQ conference champion -- in this case, either Boise State, Kent State or Northern Illinois (or all of them!) above the Big East champion. And if one of those three can finish at No. 16 or better, it'll likely be going to either the Sugar Bowl against Florida or the Orange Bowl to take on Florida State.

Kent State's all the way up at No. 17, meaning a win over NIU would put them in very good shape to make the BCS, especially if UCLA loses. Don't count Boise State or NIU out yet, either. Sooners fans should probably root for Northern Illinois and Nevada and UCLA this weekend, though.

If none of the non-AQs can finish No. 16 or better, it looks all but certain that Oklahoma will play Florida in the Sugar and the winner of Louisville-Rutgers will play Florida State in the Orange. Everything else is all but set -- this is, of course, until something completely wacky happens next Saturday, as is custom.
