While two of the eight spots for Bowl Championship Series games are filled, there are still 14 teams under consideration for the remaining berths.
Ohio State, co-champions of the Big Ten Conference, completed its season at 13-0 and is headed to the BCS national title game in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 3. Florida State clinched a bid as Atlantic Coast Conference champions.
Ten teams are still in the running for four conference titles that bring automatic bids -- Miami, Pittsburgh and West Virginia in the Big East, Colorado and Oklahoma in the Big 12, USC and Washington State in the Pac-10, and Arkansas, Georgia and LSU in the SEC.
The other teams in the BCS picture -- Iowa, Kansas State, Notre Dame and Texas -- are looking for at-large spots.-- AP
