For those who enjoy BCS chaos, the fun starts now.

Southern California's loss to Oregon State was the first and most significant step toward giving the Bowl Championship Series an impossible task of putting together a title game that will satisfy everybody.

The Beavers' 33-31 upset Saturday had fans of highly ranked one-loss teams rejoicing from Gainesville, Fla., to Berkeley, Calif.

Don't get too down, Trojans. While you gave up control of your destiny in the championship race, you're not out of it either.

The BCS standings were due out later Sunday. Ohio State and Michigan will be at the top. Regardless of whether Florida or West Virginia replaces USC in third place, the issue is a long way from being settled. In fact, it probably won't ever get settled.

After Saturday, there were six unbeaten teams in Division I-A. Only three of those teams can end the regular season undefeated: The Ohio State-Michigan winner; one of three Big East teams and Boise State if the Broncos can run the Western Athletic Conference.

There's no question about whether an unbeaten Ohio State or Michigan deserves a spot in the title game on Jan. 8. The one that wins out is going to Glendale, Ariz.

That second spot is going to be up for much debate, and there will be more than one right answer.

The best-case scenario for the BCS now — if you want to call it that — is for West Virginia, or Louisville to remain perfect and lay claim to the second spot in the title game.
