OSU: In charge of the at large?
It's college football's most essential proclamation: when it doubt, go to the ratings.
When it comes to at large selections for the BCS, that bodes well for No. 10 Ohio State. As The Columbus Dispatch reports:
There have been three BCS games involving schools from non-BCS leagues, and each is among the seven lowest-rated of the 42 all-time BCS games: Utah versus Pittsburgh in the 2005 Fiesta (a 7.4 rating), Boise State against Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta (8.4) and Hawaii versus Georgia in the 2008 Sugar (7.0).
That averages out to a 7.7 rating. Contrast that with 11.0, which is Ohio State's average rating in its three games as a BCS at-large team.
That likely trumps any worry about OSU fans having 'Fiesta fatigue.'"

Boise's not Going BCS
The fact that they’ve been negotiating with Ball St. and TCU about matchups shows you that they’ve been told (unofficially of course) that they won’t be going to a BCS game this year.
The only chance that Ohio State misses out is if UCLA beats USC, giving the Pac-10 title back to Oregon State and the Fiesta chooses USC over Ohio State.
