Good CFN article on who the at-large teams should be

Well, since UCLA's win over USC doesn't mean any more or less than USC's win over Oregon.....a different formula would be needed.

First tie breaker is head-to-head-to-head play. This does not apply, because Oregon and UCLA missed each other in the rotation this year.

Second tie breaker is common opponents down the Pac-10 schedule ...
USC, UCLA, and Oregon all beat Cal ... next
USC, UCLA, and Oregon all beat Stanford ... next
etc ...
USC and Oregon both beat Arizona, UCLA did not ... UCLA is elimintated.

Third tie breaker is back to head-to-head. USC beat Oregon, USC wins the Pac-10.

LV - I posted it in the BCS thread...

Since it'll be a 3 way tie (USC, UCLA and Oregon (assuming a UCLA win)) the first tie break in a 3 way system is performance against common opponants. USC and Oregon beat Arizona, UCLA did not, thus UCLA is "out" then, as between Oregon and USC, USC wins head to head.

Seems like the Big Ten isn't the only conference with some "screwy" rules.
