The BCS's facebook is reporting that 16 teams remain under consideration for a BCS spot, plus Ohio State who has cliched a spot.  My apologies for directing undue scorn at the BCS last week.  I will attempt to ensure I direct proper scorn in the future.

This week it is just a list on Facebook, not an official release.

AQ Champions:

Big 10: Ohio St. Buckeyes

Possible AQ Championships:

• ACC: Clemson Tigers, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
  
• Big East: Cincinnati Bearcats, Pittsburgh Panthers
  
• Big 12: Texas Longhorns, Nebraska Cornhuskers
  
• PAC 10: Oregon Ducks, Oregon St. Beavers
  
• SEC: Florida Gators, Alabama Crimson Tide
  

At Large Contenders

(If they earn a top 14 ranking by December 6th and would not make a third team from their conference)

TCU Horned Frogs, Boise St. Broncos, Iowa Hawkeyes, Penn St. Nittany Lions, Virginia Tech Hokies and BYU Cougars.

Teams Removed from BCS Consideration This Week:

LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, Oklahoma St. Cowboys, USC Trojans

Basically some teams were trimmed that lost, became clear they would be the third team from their conference or are unlikely to move into the top 14.  Last week they drew the line at 20, this week 17.

Alabama, Cincinnati, Florida, Oregon and Texas will likely remain BCS eligible even with a loss.
