if lsu loses to georgia and both ok state and oregon win out, i think this has a possibility of happening.....

[rm18]

No Alabama would go over Oregon

Ducks back in the BCS convo with this performance imo

Not really. You're really underestimating the disparity between the teams in the scoring system that defines the rankings. Oregon still suffers from similar SOS issues that Stanford/Boise faced, and have one loss. We're probably going to see:

1) LSU
2) OK State
3) Alabama
4) Oregon
5) Oklahoma
6) Arkansas
7) Stanford
8) Boise
9) Clemson
10) Virginia Tech

But LSU and OK State are significantly ahead because they're undefeated on strong schedules. The thing about Oregon is their schedule is cake from here on out so there won't be anything to help push them up, whereas other teams still have the ability to rise.

Oklahoma could potentially vault into #2 with a win over OK State AND a weak performance from Alabama to close out the year. Arkansas could make the jump if they can beat LSU AND have Alabama fall to 10-2, but seeing as that ones even a longshot, anything below that is pretty much out.

The NC title berths are LSU/OK State's to lose.

Ok state and LSU need to win out because I do not want to see another LSU vs Alabama game.

If Arkansas beats LSU, and Alabama wins out, who would win the SEC West? (All 3 would have 1 loss and would have each been 1-1 against eachother)

I think that has a small chance of happening

It comes down first to record against common opponents, which in this case are even as well, and then finally to BCS rankings. Arkansas needs to beat LSU AND have Alabama fall to 10-2 to win the SEC west.

Team with the best bcs ranking would get in...probably Bama

It goes to highest bcs ranking if the 2 teams are 5 spots within each other it goes to head to head between those 2

[Urbanwildlife]

I am not sure that OSU will be Oklahoma.

[MoneyLineDawg]

I heard they don't use BCS rankings IF the teams are within 5 spots of eachother (and they would be in this situation)........WOuld go to the next tie breaker I think

[MoneyLineDawg]

All 3 teams will be within 5 spots though LOL

[zoo youk]

this thread all and all these scenarios is the exact reason we need an 8 team playoff system!

[MoneyLineDawg]

Yeah I know.....Cannot wait till we have playoff games, would make College Football even that much better

[suicidekings]

I am not sure that OSU will be Oklahoma.

Remember, OU is now missing Ryan Broyles for the rest of the year and that's HUGE for them. #3 receiver in Div I

Kenny Stills is not 100% healthy either

I think in this case as far as I can understand under the 3 team one loss tie breaker
The commisioner would draw - or select the winner
If Arkansas could win and score more than 9 points Alabama would likely be chosen
as this is the points against by similar competitor
Alabama beating Arkansas So bad I do not think its possible for Arkansas to have a chance so more than likely they will not get up for that game to have a chance to pull off the upset
plus they are not playing at home - LSU vs GEORGIA

I am incorrect Arkansas can they would need to beat Lsu and have LSU score less than 14

spoken just like a boise state fan

why do we need an 8 team play off
The sec takes care of their business by having a legitimate championship game and representation
they have won the national Championship 5 times in a row - the only thing that would of changed with a 8 team play off system - sec would eliminate the championshipe game and more teams from the sec would represent the sec in bcs playoff games .....and likely you would have 2 sec teams play in the national champioship game more times than not ............

You do realize LSU and Arkansas is a big Rivalry and they always seem to have great games no matter how good each team is during a given year

To suggest Arkansas "won't get up" for their game against LSU is absolutely ridiculous under any circumstance

[sweethook]

i dont think no one beats oka st. with that fukin team they have
