what are your thoughts on LSU winning all of it regular season games except Florida. Florida goes undefeated up until the SEC title game. We beat them in the title game and go on to play in the BCS title game. Think we could potentially play Florida 3 times this year? Again, crazy, but do you think this is even a remote possibility?

now what would happen if LSU wins every game, and Florida loses the only game vs LSU, and go on to the title game and Florida wins, does LSU play Florida again?

but for this to really happen, everyone else will have to have two losses or three losses.

There is a natural bias against rematches. It is also highly unlikely to have two teams from the same conference in the BCS championship game. Your scenario, while theoretically possible, will not happen because of these two trends.

Under your factual scenario, the pollsters will find a way to get the best non-SEC team (or the most popular, depending on your general view of the polls) into a game against the winner of the SEC-CG.

I never like to say never, but I'm saying that we're never going to play Florida three times in a season. Likewise, we're never going to play UGA or Tennessee, the other two candidates for your scenario, three times in a season.

Same scenario that was stated on the CBS College Football special a week ago. Except LSU would beat Florida in the regular season and loose to them in the SECCG. Then play for the BCS title.

This scernario is all but a cinch if everyone else has two losses like the 2007 campaign. That is the only way I see it happening.

I guess it's a possibility but I expect USC, Penn St, Texas or OU to have only 1 loss at the end of the year.

I am convinced that nothing is impossible in this crazy system that we have right now. Though I have to say I probably couldnt stand all the bitching from the news media that we would hear if UF/LSU actually played three times in one year.
