#12 South Carolina (9-2) has a B- offense, a B defense, and is B- overall. They are #21 in pts/gm, #45 in total offense, and #26 in total defense. #2 Alabama (12-0) is A+ across the board. We are #1 in pts/gm, #2 in total offense, and #1 in total defense. We dropped to #2 after Texas A&M beat Texas. They play Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship and if A&M wins and we win, we'll meet for the title. If one of us falters, UCLA will make it in. If we both lose, UCLA will probably play Air Force, but they might get jumped by Kansas State.
