So let's assume all of the top 10 teams win out(obviously some of them are mutually exclusive such as Bama/LSU/Georgia.) What do you see as the pecking order for getting into the BCSNC? The 4 big undefeated teams all have great schedules and computer scores so anybody who thinks they get jumped without losing is fooling themselves.

I think in the polls, it would go....
Alabama, Oregon, ND, KSU, LSU, UF, UGA, Florida St, Louisville.

Computer rankings would be very close but I'm guessing....
Notre Dame, Kansas State, Alabama, Oregon?

So overall, I think these are the teams who most fully control their own destiny.....
1)Alabama
2)Notre Dame
3)Oregon
4)Kansas State
5)LSU
6)Georgia
7)Florida
8)Louisville
9)Florida St
10)Miss St?

So Bama and ND control their own destiny. What do ya'll think?

What? They would both deserve to go if they make it through. No reason to label it an ESPN conspiracy.

not saying its a conspiracy but is it really far fetched to think that this is the matchup ESPN would want?

No, it wouldn't, but read my post. I pointed out that Notre Dame would get in because of their unbiased computer score. If it was up to the voters, I think it would be Oregon vs Alabama.

Yup. As I said earlier, K State, get ready to remember what name is on your jersey if you are facing ND and Bama for that title game shot, because the voters won't let you in.

Computers are something else entirely. Gotta hope those help you of course.

Big 12 doesn't have a title game, ND just matched Kansas St's biggest win & I don't think they play another ranked team the rest of the year.


I don't think the computers will either, Bama would have to beat #5 LSU on the road, Top 15 A&M, then another Top 5 team in the SEC title game.

The problem this year is that all 4 teams will have incredible good quality wins. Bama would have LSU, Miss St, Mich, and SECCG. ND would have Oklahoma, USC, Mich, MSU?, and Stanford. KState would have Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and the rest of the big 12 that the computers will have highly ranked again. Oregon's schedule isn't strong now but they still have Stanford, USC, Oregon State, and PAC championship. It will be really interesting to see how the computers rank their schedules and whether the championship games provide for jumps.

ND most likely control their own destiny.

But...

The one thing going for Oregon though with the human polls is they play USC first (so USC will probably be unranked when ND plays them...and you can do the compare the scores thing with ND later.)

Also, while everyone else is putting on one more weekend of this beauty contest - ND is sitting at home. (K-State gets to whip up on patsy Texas.)

K State has a tougher schedule than ND IMO. They both beat OU on the road and destroyed Miami at home. K State has absolutely thrashed the other ranked teams they've played (TT and WV) and ND has squeaked by (Stan). They also barely beat unranked BYU and Michigan. Don't forget ND doesn't have a title game either and their marquee matchup with USC is losing its luster, especially if Oregon dog stomps that azz.
