not asking likely, just theoretically possible? Or are there BCS rules preventing this?

I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

No rules preventing this but polsters will do some shianagens(sp) to prevent this. Would stil require Oregon, Boise, and TCU loses.

Yes, its possible

Will never happen. Now if it was Ohio Michigan or USC/oregon, it definitely could.

I don't think there is a rule against it, but I think it would be highly unlikely from the human influence.

I would think it would be possible if the non-AQs lose a game and the BCS conf teams lose 2 games leaving LSU and the non-aq teams with 1 loss.
Every other senerio just screams of the human voters changing their ballots the last weekend to put a team other than another SEC team against Auburn. Doesnt matter what the computers say if the human voters all vote for one team to play Auburn.
It could be close with LSU at #3 in human polls and a non-aq team in #2 with the human votes being slip. Then LSU could get in. LSU at #4 in the human polls though wouldnt get us in.

It is possible but a lot would have to happen in order for that to occur. It was close to happening with Michigan and Ohio State back in 2006, but the big reason that it didnt was that Michigan had played OHio State the last game of the year so they didnt want to see an immediate rematch. If they had played earlier in the year (like LSU vs Auburn) the pollsters would have been more likely to vote for this matchup.

possible yes
say Boise/TCU/Oregon/Wisconsin all lose
Computers will have LSU second easily. Polls may try something else but who? Ohio St? Stanford? Don't see it so it could happen but more voodoo needed than 2007 IMO

Yes, it is.
If Oregon, TCU, Boise, and Nebraska all lose than an AU vs. LSU matchup is possible.

If oregon and TCU lose, it could happen. I think LSU will jump Boise if we win out. If TCU and Oregon lose AU and LSU could end up being 1 & 2.
But TCU aint losing, so it wont happen

Yes, but only if Boise and TCU lose and there's no 1-loss BCS conference champion.

no rules against it, but NOT A CHANCE
the humans will not let it...
the TV audience narrows considerably.. $$$$$$

I thought they changed the rule after OU lost their conference championship game in 2003 that a team had to win their league to play for the NC.
