There are two at large spots. If Cal wins out, the Rose Bowl will take them. If Utah finishes in the top 6, they get the other at large spot. That's why Wisconsin losing may have killed Texas because it could allow Utah to slip in the top 6. Basically, if Utah finishes in the top 6, there will only be one at large spot.
if auburn loses then cal and texas will be in the top 4 of the bcs - this assures them bcs berths. it would also put utah in the top 6 would assure them of a berth. someone has to be left out with only 2 at-larges. i guess we have the same problem that we had with 3 undefeated teams only to a lesser extent because it's not for a title position....i just believe the "automatic" exemptions are one of the problems the bcs needs to address
