is there a chance that Notre Dame gets knocked out of an at-large bid? Or does Notre Dame go to BCS either way?
Right now out of the 4 at-large, Michigan and Boise are in. Assuming USC wins, the Rose will pick 2 at-large before anyone else. Michigan for sure and someone else other than ND and I really, really doubt Boise. So one more of the at-large will be gone most likely to either LSU or Fl depending on the outcome of the SEC and final rankings. The Sugar picks next and I bet they will pick ND over the other options. So, I doubt that they stay in the top 8, but I also doubt that they will fall out of the top 14, and I think that somebody will pick them.
