Do the voters really let Boise and TCU play for it all? Definitely can understand 1 playing in that scenario for sure, but will they really let two non AQ teams play for it and leave 1 loss LSU out of it?

I just can't imagine letting them both play. Plus this would be the 3rd year in a row they've played in a bowl.

Thoughts?

It sure would be. LSU is just too far behind in the BCS to catch either one.

Thoughts are, in addition to this:

Pull for Nebraska to win the Big 12 with 2 losses
Pull for Ohio State to lose to Michigan so that Michigan State wins the Big 10. It would be better if Wisconsin, Ohio State and Michigan State ALL lost one more, but that just isn't going to happen.

That would give you a significantly lower ranked Big 10 champ and a 2 loss Big 12 champ.

Oh, and pull for VT to lose the ACC championship game AND for Utah to continue their downward spiral.

I'm not sure, though, with an Auburn loss, that Oregon and Boise State would be any better...those two just played last year, also.

CFB would implode if LSU/Auburn somehow ended up in the big show.

TCU/Boise has happened 2 years in a row...we do not need a 3rd.

Oregon and Auburn is what people want, yet something tells me this is losing luster for obvious reasons. Also, the east coast media would only be interested due to the scandal.

LSU vs. Boise/TCU would be terrible in ratings, sedond only to TCU/Boise.

Auburn would kill Boise or TCU. Neither would be able to stop Newton.

LSU and Oregon would be well recieved of all of the scenarios. I hope this is what happens. We need an AU loss, a Boise loss to Nevada, and I think we'd naturally just jump TCU. This scenario scould happen!

I have watched the NC for the last 11 years (I'm 20). If TCU plays Boise for the NC, it is safe to say I won't watch a 12th this season.

This would actually hurt LSU and the SOS.

Under normal circumstances, LSU would absolutely jump either BSU or LSU; but as pointed out by someone earlier voters remember what is perceived as "lucky" wins and some might be turned off by it. However, a complete pwnage of Arky this week-end in little rock could definitely change that.
