Is there any chance we get to Miami with 2 losses? Yes, and here's how. It's a 3 step process, starting the week after next. And it assumes that LSU and Bama win out.

Step 1 - Ore loses to Stanford, resulting in Bama, KSU, ND, Ore, UGA, Fla, and LSU.

Step 2 - Last week of SEC regular season, ND loses to USC, Fla loses to FSU, resulting in Bama, KSU, Ore, UGA, LSU.

Step 3 - Championship weekend, Bama beats UGA, Ore loses in Pac 12 championship, KSU loses to UT, resulting in Bama and a 1-loss KSU or a 2-loss LSU. And with the ever-important eyeball test used by ESPN last year to pimp Bama, LSU will be identified as the only team capable of beating Bama. #1 Bama v #2 LSU. Weird?

KSU would still get in with a loss to Texas IMO

Maybe not. We would have 2 things going our way.
1. Eyeball test.
2. Payback from last year.

I would say your insane, however after 2007 I'd say anything's possible. Although in your situation a 1-loss K-State would go over a 2-loss LSU. No way in hell will they allow an all SEC championship two years in a row. The talking heads would be K-State all the way. However, It is sad to say that, in your senario, if Bama was the two-loss team it would be LSU Vs Bama part IV.

Perhaps if KSU loses by a large margin to UT on Championship weekend - there won't be much time for talking at that point.

It's great seeing LSU fans and other Alabama haters still talking about the illegitimacy of the 2012 BCS National Championship. LSU wanted to cap their perfect season, with the regular SEC blowout of some OOC team in the BCSNCG, but instead got the only opponent that could play 4 quarters with them. You lucked into a win 11/5. All teams have weaknesses, but unfortunately LSU could find none in Alabama on 1/9/12.

The only way a 2 loss team has a shot to play in that game is if there is only one team which is undefeated or with one loss, and the rest have 2 or more losses.

Hey it's still mathematically possible...

This. There is no way another 2 loss team will ever play for bcs title until playoffs are implemented. Unless like above said if only one other team has one loss and all the rest have two.

Who said anything about the illegitimacy of the 2012 Championship?

I was responding to this.

Criticizing my team will have no effect. I can see their problems. You won't see me making up South Carolina to be more than they really are. We struggle on the road, have difficulty showing up for series of big games, still have trouble in the secondary, and have failed to seize the SEC East title for a second year straight. I've also heard that we have bad playcalling that we aren't able to overcome at least once a year, Auburn 2011 and LSU 2012.

If everything you say happens, FSU plays Bama. Not LSU.

FSU would have beaten Florida, who beat us, won the ACC, and only have 1 loss.

No way a 2 loss LSU gets a rematch over 1 loss ACC Champ that beat Florida.

Umm.....



Unless all 6 teams in front of us lose in the next 3 weeks, we're not going.

A lot of you seem to think LSU won't start getting voted down if teams start losing and LSU rises in the polls. LSU won't automatically jump these undefeated teams that lose.

With KSU's QB out this weekend, we may have some hope.

Plus I'm sure Saban and Bama with all their respect for us and wanting the "best 2 teams" in the NC will lobby for us.

If Klein is gone for a couple games K St could lose multiple though.
