BCS Train Wreck This year?

Someone mentioned the potential for multiple undefeated teams this year aand I loked into it a little deeper. This is pretty crazy. There is a very real possibility of the following teams being undefeated at the end of the season:
LSU (this is actually the longest shot due to schedule, but it's possible)
Ohio State
Michigan State (doesn't play tOSU and no Big 10 Championship Game)
Oregon
Boise State
TCU
Big 12 Champ (Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Mizzou)
I would say that it is likely that you will have at least 4 and potentially as many as 7 undefeated teams at the end of the year!
Playoff, anyone?

Disagree.

I'm pulling for a TCU/Boise State championship (assuming LSU could not make it in). The number of viewers would be a joke and a lot of money would be lost. If this were to happen, no way we wouldn't move to a playoff system sooner rather than later.

At this time of year it always looks like a train wreck yet always seems to work out that the 2 best teams play. (not that I like the system)

To go undefeated we will have to beat the 8th, 7th, 12th, and 10th ranked teams including an extra game(SECCG). We will get in if this happens.

What sucks is that the other teams don't play anybody

congress will get involved and Obama will straighten all this out.

There is still a lot of season left. It will work its way out.

Every year mid-season we talk about multiple BCS undefeated teams and every year we end up talking about 1 loss teams. Even last year there were only 2 legit BCS undefeated teams.
It all looks possible on paper until Oregon loses their QB and loses 4 of their last 5 and Ohio State lays an egg against Indiana or something.

Why would this be a "BCS Train Wreck" because there are 7 undefeated teams? The whole idea of creating the BCS system was to take multiple human and computer polls that also considered factors like strength of schedule to create an algorithm that clearly quantified who the top 2 teams were when there were multiple undefeated teams....and as LSU fans no full well, you don't even have to be an undefeated team to be considered one of the top 2 teams.

As much as I would love this sort of drama at the end of the season, I don't see it happening. Last week I doubt LSU would have been on this list because I don't think a lot of people honestly expected them to be able to compete with teams like Bama down the stretch due to terrible offensive production. Also last week Bama may have been at the top of your list because they looked unbeatable.
Things change way too fast and unpredictably to be able to know at this point in the season who will come out undefeated.

It will be much clearer at week 9. There will likely be only 4 or 5 unbeatens. "Unbeatens" haven't been much of a problem for the BCS (2004 USC/Texas/Auburn notwithstanding), it's having about 11 one-loss teams that will really pee in gumbo, so to speak.

sigh. some folks always make these kinds of predictions at the halfway point. Then reality sets in.
It is a long season. History says at most 3 teams will wind up undefeated. And that will likely include only 1 BCS conference team.
