I was listening to Phil Steele on the radio yesterday and he said he could envision a scenario where, should Texas, Iowa and Cincinnati end up losing one game and the SEC championship was between Alabama and Florida (quite likely I'd say), that the loser of the SEC championship game would likely get the nod in the BCS to play for the national championship against the SEC champion. He didn't seem to think Boise State (or TCU for that matter) had any chance and would likely get "Utahed" and end up playing in a secondary BCS bowl if they go undefeated. Likewise, he didn't think that any other 1-loss team from any other conference would be likely to get the BCS advantage over the SEC loser (so it's already all over for OSU, VaTech, USC and Miami).

If Texas does not win out, I will be rooting like hell for Iowa and Cincinnati to go undefeated.

This guy writing a blog for nudereviews.com puts up picks during the week - actually pretty good he was like 14-6 last week (20 games) and 13-2 (15 games) the week before. I'm not crazy about college football, although GO BEARCATS! But the blog is mad funny and he has good picks lol - BLOG

I think Virginia Tech would be the team that would get selected--since they'd have to beat an ACC team in the ACC Championship game even if they face a shitty ACC team.

I think if USC runs the table, they could be the other team that would have the best case. USC seems to "click" in November every year and usually look to be the best team we see in the BCS every year. For certain fans with myopic memories USC has played in the Orange Bowl twice before where they took apart Iowa (another "physical" team) rather easily and gave Big Game Bobby a beatdown the other time they were in the Orange. If USC wins the Pac again, I hope for sanity's sake that some other BCS committee selects the Trojans. How about the Fiesta Bowl this year?

An SEC rematch for the NC would be a waste....nobody outside of Bama and FLA people would tune into that.

Even when Boise State runs the table this season---THEY DO NOT deserve to go to the NC. They should go to a BCS game--maybe the Rose, and face a Big11 team.

Boise State should leave the WAC (in football) and go "rogue" (Independent). That way they can setup a schedule with 4 MWC teams, 4 Pac10 teams and 4 WAC teams and garner enough cred to get into the actual NC game someday...

I think Lil' Lane probably thinks his offensive plays are like "next generation" brilliant and all the SEC coaches and defenses are backwater hillbilly know nothings...

It's pretty sad if all it takes to sway a recruit in SEC Country is trash talk....

TR, grow a sense of humor, it's supposed to be funny

At this point, it's all conjecture. FLA has a mighty defense as does 'Bama. That's where the championship is going to lie. But just about anything can happen until bowl time. And will somebody tell Colin Cowherd to stop sucking Urban Meyer's dick?

I wasn't before but now I'm getting bothered by the notion that the winner of the SEC champ game is automatically 1 of the top 2 teams in the country.

This season I'm a little more inclined to allow a pass only because 'Bama has played and beaten what appears to be a pretty stout VT team. However, the SEC's "tough" conference schedule aside...I would like to see some of their top teams line up top interconference matchups a little more before we start automatically assuming the winner of their conference is a bid for the title.

Sure. But what about Colin Cowherd?? :blowjob:

If Alabama and Florida are both undefeated and play in the SEC championship, I don't see Va Tech being ranked higher in the BCS than the loser of that game. I mean, after all, Va Tech lost to Alabama already.

I think if USC runs the table, they could be the other team that would have the best case. USC seems to "click" in November every year and usually look to be the best team we see in the BCS every year. For certain fans with myopic memories USC has played in the Orange Bowl twice before where they took apart Iowa (another "physical" team) rather easily and gave Big Game Bobby a beatdown the other time they were in the Orange.

Wouldn't surprise me although the Trojans are clearly not the best team in the nation this year having already lost to an unranked team. I don't know how you come back from that and end up in the national championship game. Still, it's golden-boy Pete and the ever-present USC bias so you may be right, T-rock. As a Texas fan, that would suck big time if both teams have one loss.

An SEC rematch for the NC would be a waste....nobody outside of Bama and FLA people would tune into that.

That is indeed the dilemma. I concede the dominance of the SEC but does the NCAA and the BCS really want to turn this into a regional championship because that's exactly how it will be viewed by those outside the SEC?? :dunno:

I don't think they can go to the Rose Bowl, can they? The Rose Bowl still has an arrangement for the Pac-10 and Big 10 champs to play each other unless the game is slated for the national championship....doesn't it?? As for them going "rogue", that might be a good idea as long as they can continue to recruit the way they have in recent years. If not, they fade into oblivion, A risky choice for sure. Still, if they ever want to get a shot at the title, that may be the only possible way.

Just goes to point out the folly of the current BSC nonsense. Too many "what ifs" that are never resolved.

wow, many people are acting like notre dame has a shot of breaking the losing streak to usc.

Well the game this weekend will be between the 2 most overrated teams in college football this year. What a joke the Big 12 is... Glad to see Bama passed overrated Texas. We got the best D in all of college football. Dont forget that bama fans. And we got Tebow. He will find away to win any game in the clutch. Loved how our band plays the superman theme everytime Tebow runs the ball.

Notre Dame is going down. The SEC champ better hope USC loses another game because I know they don't want to play big bad SC.

If Alabama and Florida are both undefeated and play in the SEC championship, I don't see Va Tech being ranked higher in the BCS than the loser of that game. I mean, after all, Va Tech lost to Alabama already.

I think we've seen in the recent past that head-to-head results sometimes don't mean what we think they mean when we deal with the BCS. Virginny Tech and Bama played in Week1. It's not outrageous if Bama loses in the SEC CHampionship game to fall behind VaTech (if they're #3 at the time). If you want outrageous--go look up 1978.

Wouldn't surprise me although the Trojans are clearly not the best team in the nation this year having already lost to an unranked team.

It has been the norm for SC to stumble against an unranked conference foe on the road. Without these losses USC would have every NC (except 1 ) these past 5 years.

I'm not really advocating that USC is the secret best team. I really don't believe in Matt Barkley yet. HOWEVER, I will remind everyone that USC lost to UDub with our backup QB. A QB who has sunk to 3rd or 4th on the Depth chart. Okie probably wouldn't have lost to BYU or The U if Bradford was healthy. Maybe we would've lost to UDub because of the Sarkisian factor anyway...but if USC blows out Notre Dame and everyone else on the schedule...I think they don't have to back away from anybody.

That is indeed the dilemma. I concede the dominance of the SEC but does the NCAA and the BCS really want to turn this into a regional championship because that's exactly how it will be viewed by those outside the SEC?? :dunno:

Nobody would watch that game and it won't happen. "The Computers" magically (cough cough) won't let it happen.

I don't think they can go to the Rose Bowl, can they? The Rose Bowl still has an arrangement for the Pac-10 and Big 10 champs to play each other unless the game is slated for the national championship....doesn't it??

Still, if they ever want to get a shot at the title, that may be the only possible way.

Well, if USC goes to the NC game, than the RB could select an at-large team. There's nothing preventing one of the other BCS games from selecting a Big11/Pac10 team for their bowls. It's basically a "gentleman's agreement" that the bowl committees have. I bet this year even the Rose might say hmm, do we really want to see USC vs Ohio State again? Maybe we need to see something else...

Notre Dame is going down. The SEC champ better hope USC loses another game because I know they don't want to play big bad SC.

History says you're right! My epic matchup is USC versus any Florida team. Let's say Florida loses in the SEC Champ and Texas goes undefeated and meets Bama...then I'd like to see SC vs Florida anywhere...or if the U wins out...let's have USC v The U somewhere...:thumbsup:

If they were to meet an offensive powerhouse (not LSU) they would have some trouble keeping up, i really think that. UF play Cincy tomorrow, neutral field (like BCS) and you can say that Cincy wouldn't put up 35-40? tough call really i think...hit me back

Tebow was certainly the difference in the SEC CG last year... but Bama actually is better than last year, UF looks the same. Who will win this season? I don't know, but I hope both teams roll into the game 12-0 and it will be a classic game once again.

the best d is a matter of opinion.......your offence is a one man team........as a bama fan i think we have the best D ...2 of the best running backs in the ncaa...one of the best wr in the ncaa.....one of the best punt/kickoff returners in the ncaa....a kicker thats been there done that..i have been a bama fan 30 years....this may be one of the best bama teams in 20 years.....i dont see no QB from anywhere getting it done. they better get super man the cruthes ready. if he trys to do it by himself...they may break his bones........they should let tebow wear a shirt with a target on it.....because thats what hes become running the score up on little teams like KU. comes a time when the defence says damn the game .....im taking him out :wave2:

The Big 12 is a joke? Last week they had six teams in the top 25.

The SEC is having a very down year. You have two teams who are good and the rest are several levels down.

Nah, I'll still take the champs... but it's very close.

Don't forget about Texas and USC. I think they'll prove something this weekend.
