Technically, it could happen but the voters wouldn't allow it a la Michigan/OSU 2006.
Even if LSU were to be the only undefeated and Bama was in the mix with other 1-loss teams, one of those other 1-loss teams would get the nod, especially since it would mean that they won their conference.

Everyone else besides Boise State has two losses but LSU and Bama in the scenario above, does a one loss LSU/Alabama stay ahead of a one loss Boise to meet alabama/lsu?

quote:Michigan/OSU is a bad example. Neither of them played a conference championship game, and Michigan lost the last game of it's season almost 50 days before the National Championship. Florida, who replaced Michigan, was also on a 7 game winning streak at the time of Michigans loss. If Bama were to lose to us they would still have 3 more games to win and go 11-1. In those three weeks that leaves room for LSU to remain #1 and Bama to climb up from no worse then #5 if they lose by 3 points. I think if any of the teams ahead of Bama have more then 1 loss then they are automatically out. If any team ahead of Bama has 1 loss to a weaker opponent (such as boise losing to TCU or Nevada) or lost at any point after them, then it is very plausible that Bama vs LSU could happen in the BCSNCG

voters wanted it to happen with ohio state and michigan in 06, but florida looked too good to pass on after the why they crushed arkansas in the sec title game. If florida had lost, it would have been a michigan ohio state rematch. It really came down to florida's strength of schedule in the computers.

i would not use michigan/osu to compare bama/lsu national championship prospects.
i am so sick of hearing that. i think it's actually quite more possible than people think. first off it is much more appealing to all. and if that was the case these 2 would be the best teams in the country.
a 1 loss bama/lsu would be more deserving than any 1 loss big 12 or acc school.. plus if bama is that 1 loss school they always get more national respect and praise than they even deserve any ways. the masses over rate the hell out of them.

OK, I thought it was the BCS points system, not winning your conference.... See Oklahoma 2003
Scenario 2011..... LSU beats up everyone as does Bama like 2003 Oklahoma did and both hailed as the best 2 teams. If they have a close game, it will happen because both will have tough strength of schedules, great records, and a close head to head with the winner being the creme of the crop for the whole College Football season. What will also help the voters keep the loser high is SEC and 5 straight. You would think they may pull the loser down too much in the polls to influence the computers, but they did not do that to OK.
