I don’t think there are many BYU fans that are really holding out hope that BYU will get into a BCS bowl game. I mean seriously, Tulsa beat us. Or maybe if we decided to play the first half against UCLA we’d have a good argument.

All of that said, there is a really wild outside chance that all the stars will align and the BCS gods will smile down on BYU. Here’s that the Trib said BYU needs to have happen to have a shot at a BCS bowl game:

BYU must beat San Diego State
LSU must beat Tennessee - A close one so far
Arizona must beat Arizona State
UCLA must beat USC - UCLA has too many turnovers already
Va. Tech must beat BC - Va Tech Wins
Washington must beat Hawaii
Oregon State must beat Oregon - Beavers are playing tough

I’ll try to update this as the day goes on (or follow on ESPN yourself). I think USC is going to be our heart breaker.
