Southern California, LSU and Miami are among eight teams that cannot earn an automatic BCS bid, but are still in contention for an at-large invite to a marquee bowl game.
USC, LSU, Miami alive for BCS at-large bids

Outstanding journalism AP. You're on the ball. WHat is it, Tuesday?? You write an 8 word article saying what everyone has known for several weeks or more. This article should show up on wikipedia under "Overstating the obvious". Nice work, and kudos to MSNBC for considering it newsworthy to post. Lame.
LSU and MIami? You're kidding- they're both losers. Miami is lucky to have a winning record- it easily could have gone the other way in a few games. The LSU QB is too stupid to play in a BCS game- he spiked the ball with 1 second left in the game. A college student that dumb? At least there's someone that dumb at LSU and Miami.
I am a huge SC fan but this year is not the year they deserve a BCS bowl bid. They need to get through the year and re-focus for next year. I would probably give the bid to BSU if they beat Nevada Friday. They do have some weakness and their schedule is subject but they are undefeated and they did win the last time they played on the big stage. Sorry USC, not this time and I have been a fan since the mid 60's.
