USC vs. Penn State

[Helmut]

That's your national championship game like it or not.

Okalahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State all each lose at least one game with their remaining schedule.

No way does Alabama get by Florida.

It's a done deal.

[I.R.B]

So what makes you think it wont be Florida/Penn St?

[Helmut]

Florida lost a home game and USC lost on the road to a team that may end up finishing second in the Pac 10.

[jackpot269]

No way Oragon St. beats USC oh wait thats already happened!! Thats why they tee it up!! Not saying your game could not happen it is as likly as most

[I.R.B]

Florida lost a home game and USC lost on the road to a team that may end up finishing second in the Pac 10.

If florida beats Bama with out losing another game they will be in the title game..

IF Bama stays unbeaten till that point they will be #1 or #2 so that would make Florida beating 3 top6 teams and a top 25 team in Florida St. I see no reason they stay out of the title game.

USC has ZERO chance to play for the BCS Championship. There are just too many better one-loss team already ranked ahead of them.

[mmike032]

SEC champion will be in the title game considering FLA/ BAMA win out which is very likely.
A few high school teams here play a tougher schedule than USC

Funny how many people still don't get this.

My dad asked me what the score to the Texas / Tech game was in the 3rd quarter. I told him, and asked who he was rooting for?

He said Texas Tech, USC needs Texas to lose.

Ha.

What the hell?

The only poll that matters is the BCS poll.... and only one team with a loss, Oklahoma, is ranked ahead of them.

Oklahoma has to beat Texas Tech and Oklahoma State.... I guarantee they lose one of those games.

Alabama has to win @ LSU and vs. Florida..... not gonna happen. They definately lose to Florida and maybe LSU.

USC vs. PSU is a real damn possibility.

[LT Profits]

Oklahoma, Florida or Alabama and yes even Texas are more worthy than USC, and although I have doubts about Penn State, they should go undefeated. So how exactly does USC get in?

[LT Profits]

Using daggerkobe's scenario, it would probably be Penn State vs. Florida

[daggerkobe]

Florida lost at home to a Mississippi team that went 0-8 in the SEC last season.

At least Oregon State will win the conference and go to the Rose Bowl if they win out.

[I.R.B]

Penn St vs Bama/Florida

[mmike032]

FLA has the best chance IMO.
the rest of their schedule is a cake walk untill the SEC Championship game.
Penn ST wins out then they probally get is as well even though they might not deserve it with their schedule.
FLA/Penn ST in the BCS Title game. FLA will route PEnn ST by 30 points
and the FLA keeps the title in the SEC again this year.

[pavyracer]

Assuming Alabama and Florida don't lose another game the SEC Champion is guaranteed a spot in BCS championship. I have been rigorously punching in the numbers this morning and the probabilty of USC playing in national championship is less than McCain winning California.

Floirda is the best team in the country right this second.

and look at who they have beat . Its not like they're playing Washington ST, Washington, Stanford, etc...
The title will stay in the south where it belongs, sorry west coasters it aint gonn happen. maybe next year.
actually next year FLA, GA, and LSU will be even better than this year considering a few guys stick around for their senior season. So it might be a couple years before USC gets back the the title game

[daggerkobe]

Doesn't matter. They lost AT HOME to a shitty Mississippi squad. It's a blemish they can't shake even if they win the SEC title.

[onlooker]

Give me the max on anyone that plays Penn State in the National Championship. Big Ten just don't measure up against any of the other schools in contention. Just like past years.

[apk2k6]

Let's go Gators! That loss woke them up and they have been demolishing everyone, including two top 6 teams in LSU and Georgia. I can't wait to see how they play against Alabama. They need to keep up the intensity, because blowing out these big teams will help them move up further.

[pavyracer]

USC is disqualified by virtue of playing 4 high school teams in Washington, Washington St, Stanford, Arizona St.

Assuming the best team of the above is Arizona St; Georgia which lost to Florida by 6 TD's beat Arizona St on the road handily. SEC is light years ahead of PAC 10 this year.

How does USC goes over Florida in picking order assuming both teams end up with 1 loss?

[purecarnagge]

nah stoops/paterno is the game.

Florida will jump USC when it's all said and done! You must not of heard that the Computers don't like USC!

[ZBOIZ]

And you have to remember the BCS Championship game is off a body of work!!!

Florida BY far has the best body of work!! Also does Texas (both has better losses than USC)

USC IS DONE!

[zentiense]

Assuming Oklahoma beats Texas Tech, and beats Ok. State, then Texas should jump all three of those teams -- Theoretically, the only teams that should be considered, then, are Penn St., Florida, Texas, USC. Penn St. is automatically in if undefeated -- so then it's down to whoever has the "best" losing game...and at this second, Texas would hold that title -- considering they lost by 1 to a top 7 team, who was undefeated, at home. Florida lost AT HOME to a crap team. USC lost to a crap team. Oklahoma lost to Texas on neutral territory. I'm really not sure what the argument is here? Penn St. vs. Texas should be do-able? Also, strength of schedule has to figure in eventually -- with Texas facing and defeating 3 consecutive top 7 teams (who were previously unbeaten). What other team in the nation has come close to doing that?

You might call me a homer because I live in Austin, but I assure you, I'm not a lifetime Texas fan, as I'm from Michigan, went to college in Michigan, and grew up rooting for Michigan.

But does it really matter, I guess? Penn St. is another Big Ten team who will face a very strong non-conference team and probably lose out big time, just like Ohio State has done the past 15 years. Happens every year. We're in for another crappy BCS title game.

Doesn't matter. They lost AT HOME to a shitty Mississippi squad. It's a blemish they can't shake even if they win the SEC title.

Wrong. If Florida wins out, tbe get an automatic berth in the BCS game. Losing one game inside the SEC is not as bad as losing a game inside the Pac 10, and besides, if Florida wins out, how is USC supposed to pass them in the polls anyway?

[LT Profits]

Oh I agree totally, BCS game SHOULD be SEC champ vs. Big 12 Champ. But if Penn State goes undefeated, they get dibs over USC.

What do you mean wrong??

Yeah, if Florida wins the SEC, they'll get in to a BCS bowl, but not the Fiesta Bowl (Championship).

The fact of the matter is FL is ranked behind USC in the BCS poll because they were embarrassed AT HOME by a shitty Mississippi team. There's no getting around it.

FL was .052 pt behind USC before this past Saturday.... that's A LOT of pts to make up even if they win out.

[LT Profits]

If Florida wins out, they will leapfrog USC easily. Is there really any doubt about that?

[LT Profits]

Now put down that Pac-10 kool aid.

[The Seer]

Doesn't matter. They lost AT HOME to a shitty Mississippi squad. It's a blemish they can't shake even if they win the SEC title.

Ole Miss would beat Oregon State so if Ole Miss is shitty then what does that make Oregon St. 2nd place in the PAC 10 is not saying much. I don't think they'll finish 2nd anyway. Florida has more quality wins which will make them jump USC anyway.

They have already jumped them. Florida is #4 and USC is #7. The pollsters have spoken gentlemen.

[daggerkobe]

That's the AP poll...... and USC was already #7 behind Florida in previous AP polls.

But it mean NOTHING... as the AP poll doesn't even factor in to the BCS formula.

The only thing that matters is the BCS poll.

[LT Profits]

Right, and when Florida passes USC in the Harris Poll, justice will be served.

[jjgold]

USC has the weakest schedule in the Country

Penn St has a weak schedule also

Both do not deserve final game

Penn St can still lose, Iowa will be no slouch
