I am by absolutely no means a BCS expert so if any of you are...your wisdom would be greatly appreciated here.

My understanding is that no more than 2 teams from each conference can play in BCS bowls.

The winner of Bama/UGA will play in the Sugar while the loser will almost certainly not play in a BCS bowl. So it will likely come down to UF and LSU for that second at large spot.

I can't imagine a BCS bowl selecting UF over LSU even if UF has one less loss. However if UF is in the top 4 of the BCS standings they are guaranteed an automatic bid, right?

If Bama wins the SECCG:

Would need FSU to beat UF and LSU is headed to Fiesta or Rose

IF UF beats FSU, UF probably gets the nod.

IF UGA wins the SECCG:

UGA would go to Sugar, while Bama goes to Fiesta or Rose

...I would imagine

LSU's chances of being in a BCS bowl seem remote at this point. Still, I am pulling for Oregon, KS and of course ND to have one or two losses each before season's end.

Huh? LSU is likely fiesta or rose bowl bound at this point.

FSU beating Florida will pretty much seal the deal.

Do not want. Losses by two of the three puts Bama back in the title game.

FSU beats Florida
Winner of Bama/UGA in Sugar (loser no BCS)
Fiesta and Rose both look really good for LSU.

I could definitely see LSU vs ND or LSU vs FSU..

It'll probably be LSU vs OU/notre dame in Fiesta or LSU vs Nebraska/Wisconsin in Rose

I am rooting for LSU-Nebraska Rose.

Seeing it written makes me shudder. I have to remind myself that this isn't the 80s.

We will need FSU to beat FLA.. if that happens, assuming it's ORE vs KSU then it'll likely be LSU vs Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl

Might as well just pull for the BCS to ignore the rankings and invite LSU to the MNC. Ain't gonna happen.
