If LSU wins out, who I think we'll play...

This is just my opinion of who we should, of course. But here's mine, in order:

Undefeated
1 Stanford. If they beat Oregon they should move up. They will have the top QB in Luck, and I think the Pac 10 historically has fared better in the BCS games than the Big 12. Look for the voters to do something to make it happen

2 Oklahoma St. If both Stanford and OSU are undefeated, I would look for some odd poll maneuvers to get Stanford in, but otherwise OSU is a clear choice. You have the coaches connection between Miles and OSU too.

3 Boise St. If they are undefeated and no one else is, give them their shot.

4 Houston- no shot in hell. Sorry guys, too bad the Big 12 didn't want you then or now.

1 loss teams
1 Oklahoma- were ranked #1 awhile, and would be Big 12 conference champs. If there aren't any legit undefeateds, they will have knocked off Oklahoma St in a playoff-type game to get in.

2 Clemson- yes, Clemson here. would be 12-1 and ACC champs. If the football world melts down (this would require Boise to lose, Okla to lose before the OSU game but still beat the Cowboys, and Oregon to beat Stanford), then IN MY OPINION Clemson deserves to be the choice ahead of the next 3 teams

had your chance and blew it teams

1 Alabama- excellent team. But you played LSU at home with all the marbles on the line, and you lost. Do you really deserve to slide back up and get a bye into the big game while LSU has to beat Georgia? Sorry, someone else gets to play
&
1a Oregon- another excellent team. And your loss was at a neutral site, not at home; maybe if you had kept it closer like Bama did. Again, you played us and lost already.

3 Penn St- 12-1 and winning the Big 10 would seem to be worthy enough, but Alabama went up and whipped you. That, and the Big 10 is down this year and hasn't been a factor in the BCS games anyway

That's my ranking of potential BCS Championship opponents, and how I think it will play out. There is enough transparency in the computer rankings to allow for the polls to make the necessary moves. Expect Alabama to drop down in a week or so, once people start seeing the potential matchups. Really, who outside the state of Alabama wants to see a repeat of this weekend's game, if there are other teams with comparable records who haven't got their chance at us? Who outside the SEC wants an all-SEC championship?
