lsu to championship game if

we win out with authority,
auburn loses somewhat ugly to bama
and oregon loses.
otherwise, it's boise and tcu playing, and i can't imagine pollsters want that for a 3rd straight year.
i'm assuming lsu jumps auburn just like florida state jumped nd several years back, despite losing to nd at nd (then nd lost to bc).

No way does LSU get into the championship game without winning their division, let alone a SEC championship.

This is correct. I would like to see A sugar bowl with either Wisky or Mich St.

Our only hope now is the NCAA. If they hit Auburn before within the next month, there is still hope. Alas, things aren't looking up for the good guys. It could be years before AU gets punished.

OP made a solid argument. That appears to be our only chance.
No one wants a TCU-Boise BCSNC so if we happen to be #3 things could happen with the human polls.
Tat least there's a glimmer of hope left

Yeah! I sure don't. I totally forgot that Georgia made the 07 championship game without winning the SEC East and Texas in 08 after going 12-1 and beating Oklahoma.

so the pollsters will send boise and tcu to the championship game?
given their pathetic schedules, i hope you're wrong.

Everything else will "fall into place" (See 2007).

Are we assuming that Oregon loses here? It sounds like it. A one loss LSU could have jumped an undefeated TCU if we won the SEC, but that can't happen anymore. Too many things have to happen for us to jump to 1 or 2 after Auburn represents the SECW in GA... and most of those scenarios would work out badly for LSU in the bigger bowl picture. I tend to agree that the only hope LSU has is the NCAA smacking Auburn down, which seems a long shot now.
Am I wrong in thinking the only chance we have of getting into a BCS bowl (vice the Cotton or Cap one)is Auburn going all the way to the BCSNC? I'm a HUGE longshot positiger, but I gotta say I'm adjusting my expectations and focusing towards the Sugar. Watching Auburn win yesterday was just disgusting.

There's four teams ahead of LSU, and still games to play. LSU has to win out, first of all, and there's no guarantee of that happening. On top of that, the teams above LSU have to lose. Could happen, but not very likely.
I hope I'm wrong too, but I'm probably not. LSU going to the big dance, is highly unlikely.

It's not going to happen.
If Oregon and Auburn both lose, the pollsters would move the Big XII champion (either Oklahoma State or Nebraska), along with the Big Ten champion, ahead of us in the polls.
Your title game would therefore be the Big XII or Big Ten champion vs TCU.
Edit - At this point, the best bowl we can hope for is either the Sugar or Orange. If Auburn and LSU win out, we go to the Sugar. If Auburn loses to 'Bama or in the SECCG, and we win out, we could very likely wind up in the Orange.
If we drop one more game, we go to the Cotton.

(lsu wins out, auburn loses by 10+ to bama, and oregon loses):
given tcu's and boise's weak-arse schedule,
if they play for it all, what does that say about strength of schedule from here on out? - why schedule anybody tough out of conference if the goal is to win it all?
