I think it could be very interesting if Oregon and Boise lose and LSU wins out and AU fails to win the SEC.

Oregon wouldnt have the computers. LSU would. The humans would have to raise Oregon over LSU which is possible with Oregon playing on Dec 4th and LSU not playing.. But if the humans split the vote too much LSU could get in based on the computers.

If Oregon loses just once they are no longer a factor. Same for TCU and Boise.

According to BCS experts the only team that can afford a loss this late is Auburn and that loss can only be Bama basically but then they have to win the SEC CG.

I was also thinking about this... If Oregon and Boise lose a regular season game and LSU keeps winning, LSU would move up to #3. Then, if Auburn losses the SECCG, I don't see how LSU would not be in the BCSCG. We would be coming off a road win over a ranked team and would likely be #1 or #2 in the computers and #2 or #3 in the human polls.

The more I think about it, Boise may not even need to lose. LSU may be able to jump them with another road win over a ranked team. The computers will reward that even if the humans don't.

The bottom line is this... sitting at #5 with 3 games to go is not a bad place to be. Anything can happen and as long as LSU keeps winning, they can play for a BCS championship without playing for the SEC. It has happened before and can happen again.
