However, as an ACC fan I actually think Ohio State losing to Michigan State could affect Syracuse and here is why. If Ohio State lost to Michigan State then the Orange Bowl would be sitting on an Alabama vs. Ohio State game since they get the first pick and would get a replacement for FSU and that could cause Clemson to fall out of the BCS and hurt the ACC bowl pecking order.

If Auburn and Ohio State lose on Saturday then the BCS Championship game would be Mizzou vs Florida State. Alabama would get jumped by Mizzou and then the BCS would look like this unless Northern Illinois loses tonight.

BCS Championship Mizzou vs. Florida State
Orange Bowl- Alabama vs. Ohio State
Rose Bowl- Michigan State vs. Stanford/Arizona State
Sugar Bowl- UCF vs. Clemson/Baylor
Fiesta Bowl- Oklahoma State vs. Northern Illinois

Who would the Sugar Bowl take Baylor or Clemson? My bet is Baylor because of location. If the ACC doesn't get 2 BCS bids it knocks everyone down a peg on the bowl tier. I still think we could get to a bowl because the Big XII would have less spot open up elsewhere, but this bears watching. I want Ohio State to lose, but it could create an opening for the Orange Bowl to have Bama-OSU which I don't think they would pass on even though they have the ACC affiliation.
