With a win over then BCS #5 (vastly overrated) Notre Dame, USC jumped Michigan (down from .9263 to .9216) by going from .9188 to .9460. Much of that was from voters switching who was #2, but a good bit was also strength of schedule.

Florida is behind Michigan, .8897 to .9216, so a similar point shift would jump them. Will enough voters switch (probably most that switched to USC will now move to FL rather than Mich.) and will the SOS and extra game over BCS #9 be enough? In a strange twist, the USC loss may actually slightly hurt FL's SOS gain.

USC got a .0272 boost last week, FL needs a .0320 boost (reduced by any Michigan slippage.)

OK, here's hoping that Florida gets screwed, Urban Myer and the SEC go nuts, and the BCS further implodes. Unfortunately if Florida does move up to BCS #2, that likely solidifies the BCS for several years, as the SEC is pacified and suddenly becomes a big defender of it again (SEC commish is head of the BCS.)

Anyone who hates the bogus fraud that is the BCS should be rooting for Michigan to hold on and get a rematch.
