Winners
1. Stanford
Stanford has all but clinched a bid to a BCS Bowl. They will be locked in as at least 4 in the rankings, guaranteeing them a BCS Bowl bid, probably in Glendale or Miami. Many Stanford fans were worried they'd be on the outside looking in because they dont have a passionate enough fan base that would be willing to travel the long distances for a BCS BOwl (Hell, they dont even sell out their home games), but none of that matters now.
2. Wisconsin
Wisconsin is going to the Rose Bowl. They actually expanded their lead on Ohio State and sit at 5 in the BCS Standings with OSU at 6 and MSU at 8. Wisconsin will be going to their first Rose Bowl since Ron Dayne was running back.
3. Big East
Big East will always be BCS winners because they dont deserve to go to a BCS Bowl and will no matter what.
4. TCU
TCU is far enough ahead of Stanford that should Oregon falter (If Auburn falters, they could still be number 2), TCU should be in line for the BCS Championship. With Boise's loss, TCU is guaranteed to go to the BCS Championship or The Rose Bowl. Not too shabby.
Losers
1. Michigan State
Similar to the 2006 Wisconsin Badgers who also went 11-1, they will probably be left out because only two teams from one BCS Conference can go to a BCS Bowl (Fuck you Big East), and OSU has a much larger following and national fan base that makes them more attractive to BCS bowl games. The big difference between the 2006 Badgers and the 2010 MSU Spartans is that the Spartans are Big Ten Champions, the Badgers finished in a tie for second. Spartans deserve to go.
2. The Self Proclaimed BCS Guru
The BCS Guru who owns the domain BCSguru.com, has egg all over his face for projecting that Ohio State would move ahead of Wisconsin and go to the Rose Bowl. He made some Badgers fans sweat and gave hope to some Buckeyes fans. Not only did everybody know Wisconsin would remain ahead in the human polls, but with Miami's loss and Arizona State's win, Wisconsin would likely stay ahead in the Computer polls. As it turns out, the Badgers not only stayed ahead, but increased their lead. The BCS Guru has no credibility anymore (If he ever had any to begin with).
