If USC, Auburn, and OU win out (probably the odds are against that) and
the BCS Championship game is USC vs Auburn (which might be less likely
than USC vs OU), then an interesting scenario is OU vs Utah in the Fiesta
Bowl.  OU would be the favorite and if they won and were undefeated,
would there be another split championship?  Another possibility matchup,
which won't happen would be OU vs Cal.  Almost any OU win would be more
impressive than USC's win over Cal.
