Bruins reinforce rank in BCS poll after USC game
The Bruins have strengthened their position in the latest Bowl
Championship Series rankings, assuring themselves a berth in the
Fiesta Bowl if they beat Miami in the "Hurricane Bowl" on Dec.
5.
UCLA widened its BCS lead over Kansas State to from .74 to 1.24
points in the battle for No. 2. Tennessee is still the leader of
the pack, but the Bruins narrowed that gap to .68 from 2.04 last
week.
Last weekend, Tennessee crushed Kentucky, UCLA easily beat USC,
and Kansas State barely got past Missouri.
Barring a Tennessee loss against Vanderbilt or in the SEC title
game or a UCLA loss to Miami, the Bruins and Volunteers will meet
in Tempe, Ariz. on Jan. 4 to compete for the national
championship.
If the Bruins do lose to Miami, they will face off against
Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.
Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio State all tied for the Big 10
championship, but the Badgers would go to Pasadena because they
have made the least recent Rose Bowl appearance (1994).
