1. If UGA runs the table, no way in HELL they can be kept out.
2. If OU runs the table, the same can almost be said, except without quite the authority as Georgia. OU's non-con schedule was mediocre to poor, their toughest games are at home, and they'll avoid Mizzou until the Big-12 CCG potentially.
3. If USC runs the table, but #1 and #2 also happen, I think they'd be the 3rd most deserving team based simply on SOS (OU's would be slightly tougher).
Now, if USC, OU, and UF all run the table, this is where it'll really get ugly, as SOS's will be much closer to one another. All 3 teams benefit from very fortunate scheduling where they've all faced their toughest opponents at home and/or have avoided other top conference opponents entirely. I could see OU being left out in this scenario simply because USC crushed OU for the title already and because of OU's recent BCS failures to BSU and WVU. Also, TV ratings would be much higher for a USC vs. UF match-up.
That makes perfect sense to everyone with a brain, however if USC and Oklahoma keep crushing people and Georgia goes undefeated but not impressively I can assure you UGA will be sitting on the outside looking in. And will probably be the first team to start the season #1, win every game and not make the title game.
Reality is that I think UGA loses one, and Florida loses one and the BCS gets off the hook AGAIN for a stupid system.

No way. If UGA runs the table, they will be in no matter what regardless of what USC and OU do. Remember, UGA just got screwed last year. If it comes down to all three of those teams running the table, then OU might get shafted this year for political reasons. Remember, USC got screwed a few years back too and OU's not only never been shafted by the BCS, but they've also been the benefit of other teams' getting screwed AND they haven't performed well in the BCS recently. If anyone's due for a screw job from the BCS, it's OU, not that they'd necessarily deserve it mind you. Like I said, IMO, they'd deserve to go second behind UGA if all three of those teams run the table.
Agreed that the BCS somehow gets off the hook yet again, but it's a lot more fun speculating how they'd dig themselves out of a whole.
Meant to add that the computers would absolutely LOVE an undefeated Georgia team and their huge advantage in this category would be enough to put them in the top two BCS overall above either an undefeated USC or undefeated OU, who would both fare much worse with the computers.
But again, FWIW, I actually think UF has the better chance of the two to run the tables in the SEC due to a far easier schedule than UGA.
