If Oregon wins out, they'll overtake FSU and play Bama

At least that's what I'm hearing from some NCAAF writers.
FSU's strength of schedule will kill them, and that hasn't yet been fully accounted for in the BCS rankings.
So good job FSU on scheduling Bethune-Cookman and Idaho.

go undefeated.
And Alabama has Colorado State, Georgia State, and Chattanooga on their schedule. Scheduling pansies is the way to get highly ranked in this day and age. The "tiebreaker" isn't actually Strength of Schedule, but rather a perceived strength of conference. FSU's problem is that the media believes SEC > PAC 12 > ACC.

I disagree with that...Stanford and UCLA are both good teams

I don't think the rest of the PAC 12 is as good as ESPN wants us to believe though.

Florida St. will have better wins IMO. UCLA and Stanford both have losses. Miami is undefeated. FSU could potentially have beaten 3 top 20 teams, 1 being a top 10 maybe 2. Oregon will only have beaten 2 top 15 teams if it plays out like I think it will..
And hell I'm not even counting Florida. They could be top 25 as well.

Oregon has their toughest games ahead of them. UCLA,Stanford,Oregon State. They will jump FSU

At this point, Florida is no better than Maryland in term of strength of schedule.

have either a 1 loss U or VT probably in the ACCCG. All Oregon has of consequence is Stanford really plus a PACCG if they win that game

No way...Bama will not move from #1 in the human polls

Unless they lose. The human polls are 2/3 of it.

The main reason is that Bama-Oregon will stay 1-2

In the human polls. Even if FSU edges them in the computers, that will be difficult to overcome. FSU has a relatively big edge in the computers this week over Oregon, and still barely edges them in the overall standings.
