Five teams remain undefeated, but only three have a chance at a national championship. Several one-loss teams need two of three undefeated teams to lose so they can steal a spot in the title dance.
Baylor fell from the ranks of the undefeated when it lost in Stillwater against Oklahoma State. That leaves Alabama in the driver's seat, followed closely behind by Florida State with Ohio State needing the Crimson Tide or the Seminoles to slip up.
Fresno State and Northern Illinois are the other undefeated teams looking to crash the BCS. Both the Bulldogs and Huskies still have to win their final regular season games and conference championship games.
