Come on Yvonne, you thought our team was toast after Ben Gardner was injured. I don't think anybody is overlooking the Trojans, but our path to the Rose Bowl is very simple, and not open for debate. If we win against USC, then kal, then the P12 CG, we'll be in.

Our possible path to the MNG is much more twisty and fun to talk about, because there is no definite to it.

All this talk about the BCS championship game has me feeling like we're going to end up like Oregon's "We Want Bama" fans. We've got three more opponents, the toughest of which is this weekend, before we can even think of the Pac-12 championship, IMHO.

Agreed!
I am focused on getting into the Rose Bowl (as if my focus affected the results, hah), and am currently worrying about how can we handle U.S.C.'s powerful D-line and improving QB. If we do beat them, I'd focus next on the Pac 12 CG. I'm scared of a healthy UCLA that almost beat us last year.

If we win out, we do have an outside chance of going into the NCG. I'd say there's 60% chance Baylor drops a game, 30% OSU drops another one, 5% that FSU drops one, and 5% chance that we end up over the SEC champion.
Thus, I give us about 1.8% chance of going to the NCG... if we win out.

I'll be happy if Stanford plays in the Rose Bowl in January.  :)

It is all relative. After watching Stanford through multiple dark decades, I will be happy no matter what happens this year!
