re: Does a 1 loss SEC Champ jump an undefeated Big 10 champ - Ohio State?

If we win out it's going to be LSU vs. Ohio State in the BCS bowel. A one loss LSU team will jump a zero loss Louisville team. Stanford will take care of Oregon, Clemson will take care of Florida State and USCe will take care of Clemson.

even if we beat #1 team on the road, and possibly a #5ish team 2 weeks later?

no way jose,. there will be no SEC team in the championship this year. Oregon, OSU, either one of Clemson/Fla St. Baylor there may be 4 undefeateds from major conferences, probably at least 3
First year watching college football? Every single year about this time there are a handful of top ranked undefeateds left. People then assume 3 or 4 teams will remain undefeated by bowl selection time. Yet every year all but one, maybe 2, teams lose a game they should not. It happens every single year. The lone exception in recent memory was 2004 when there were 3 undefeateds and Auburn got left out of the title game. I would be surprised if there was more than 1 undefeated team come bowl time. Would you have guessed that Stanford loses to Nevada? Or that Oklahoma State would lose to whatever unranked team they lost to in 2011 that put Bama in the championship game?
So it just irks me when people make these idiotic statements that "W, X, Y, and Z team will all be undefeated come bowl time!!" It is an ignorant statement.

That would be LSU of course that you are referencing and Ohio State. I would say 50-50. Our strength of schedule might give us the nod but Georgia's injuries are killing our chances. Best to hope for undefeated Missouri coming out of East. Computers don't account for Major injuries to key skilled players - unfortunately. There's still a lot of football to played. Ohio State going undefeated 2 years in a row may be an intangible (voter induced) factor. Undefeated Oregon and ACC champ are in the mix as well. If this were 2014 season we would get 4 seed. Let's see how things play out in 2013.

Under the title "The Big Ten’s one contender wasn’t in the title discussion for long"
"This year’s case is a little different with Ohio State. It’s unlikely the Buckeyes lose, but they might be removed from the title discussion by default because their schedule is so bad.
I thought the Buckeyes might have a chance if Northwestern rebounded from the OSU loss last week to finish with one loss and Michigan remained undefeated until the final week of the season when it welcomes Ohio State to Ann Arbor. Well, Northwestern was embarrassed by Wisconsin on Saturday, and in State College, Penn State delivered Michigan a loss that’s been brewing for weeks.
So, fairly or unfairly, I’m not sure how this works for Ohio State. A one-loss SEC team would almost certainly get the title game nod over the Buckeyes, it seems."

If Michigan loses 1- 2 games other than Ohio state it is possible.
What the sec needs is for a one loss or undefeated sec E team to emerge as a contender in sec championship game. The championship will be top 5 match up at the end of season. It is very likely the sec west is undefeated or one loss team. Ohio State better hope Michigan runs the table until there match up.
The other thing with 3 of the 5 going undefeated that was listed above is not likely to happen. clemson/florida st. play each other then both of those teams play a rivalry sec schools SC and UF at season end. Baylor/ttech play each other then Balyor has to play osu, ou, tcu, and texas. Oregon still has to beat stanford at stanford plus some other possible upsets.
The reality is there still too much football to play to project anything like that.

no chance.
furthermore, if there ever was a year for that to be possible, this year isn't it (re: SEC OOC losses)
