^ Sounds about right, except #1 WVA, #2 Mizz.

I think LSU should fall much further...

Yea Cismesia's a fat ass

We were all laughing our ass off as they set up for that FG. He isn't consistent from under 40 so I had no idea why Bobby let him that try that, but obviously it paid off.

WVU > Mizzou

dude tebow broke his arm in the begining of the third quarter and still put a whoopin on the noles. thats heisman for you

I think it will be Ohio State vs. WVU in the championship. I think OU knocks off Mizzou again

achenator

Lsu is behind VT in the bcs who they beat, that is shitty. They have the same record.

chinoz

Kind of irrelevant where they're ranked now, both have basically no shot at NC game, but will get to a BCS bowl if they win conference championship

coconut

Jesus came to Tebow's dream lastnight, and did a "do the Heisman" dance for him.

hornyleprechaun

I think Tebow should win the Heisman, but I have a feeling the votes in the South will be split between Tebow & McFadden. If Mizzou wins big > OU in the Big 12 game then Chase Daniels has a good shot at winning it.

IlliNorge

If Missouri or West Virginia lose, Illinois goes to the Rose Bowl.

Which team tops two-loss heap?

By Brad Edwards

Perhaps for the first time all season, the national championship race can be explained very simply.

If No. 1 Missouri (vs. Oklahoma) and No. 2 West Virginia (vs. Pittsburgh) both win on Saturday, they will play each other for the BCS title. If one of them loses, No. 3 Ohio State will slide into the national championship game. If Missouri and West Virginia both lose, a two-loss team will probably meet the Buckeyes in New Orleans for all the marbles.

It seems unlikely that West Virginia will lose at home against Pitt, but if it happens, choosing which two-loss team belongs in the national title game will be a difficult assignment for the voters.

No. 4 Georgia is the highest-ranked twice-beaten team in the standings this week, but that might change next week if it matters who's atop the two-loss heap. Because the Bulldogs didn't win their division of the SEC, it's doubtful voters would put them into a BCS championship slot, especially if another two-loss team (LSU) emerges as the conference champion.

Even though LSU is currently ranked behind Virginia Tech, the Tigers would likely move ahead of the Hokies (only if the No. 2 BCS spot is open) because of their 41-point win against them in September. If Tennessee wins the SEC, Tech might be able to sneak into the picture, assuming it wins the ACC title.

Oklahoma could also make a case after knocking off top-ranked Missouri. USC, however, seems to have way too far to climb with only a game against unranked UCLA left on the schedule.

Obviously, there's a one-loss team that hasn't yet been mentioned. Kansas sits at No. 5 in this week's BCS standings, but the Jayhawks are also a long shot, since they have neither a division title nor a win over any team currently ranked in the top 25.

My best guess: If Missouri and West Virginia both lose on Saturday, LSU backs into the title game with a win in the SEC championship.

The At-Large Spots
In the clubhouse at 10-2 without a conference title, Georgia seems to be a lock to finish either third or fourth in the BCS standings, which would assure the Bulldogs of receiving one of the four at-large bids to the BCS.

If Ohio State moves into the national title game, that will vacate the Big Ten champion's spot in the Rose Bowl, and with Illinois likely to become eligible (if either Tennessee or Boston College loses on Saturday) for an at-large spot, the Big Ten could unexpectedly get a second team into the BCS.

If Arizona State can beat Arizona this week and finish 10-2, the Sun Devils will certainly be an attractive option for the hometown Fiesta Bowl. Kansas should also receive strong consideration from the Fiesta.

And then there's Hawaii. The big win over Boise State vaulted the Warriors three spots into the coveted No. 12 position, which means they should earn an automatic bid to the BCS by closing the season with a win over Washington. The only scenario that could potentially push Hawaii back out of the top 12 would be for BC, Tennessee and Arizona State all to win this weekend.

Now let's explore the possibilities for the BCS matchups. For the sake of simplifying this process, we'll assume there are no upsets on Saturday. The only variable is the Big 12 championship game.

Projected BCS Matchups (If Missouri beats Oklahoma)
Allstate BCS National Championship Game
Missouri (Big 12 champ) vs. West Virginia (Big East champ)
The Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi
Ohio State (Big Ten champ) vs. USC (Pac-10 champ)
FedEx Orange Bowl
Virginia Tech (ACC champ) vs. Georgia (at-large)
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Kansas (at-large) vs. Arizona State (at-large)
Allstate Sugar Bowl
LSU (SEC champ) vs. Hawaii (at-large)

Projected BCS Matchups (If Oklahoma beats Missouri)
Allstate BCS National Championship Game
West Virginia (Big East champ) vs. Ohio State (Big Ten champ)
The Rose Bowl Game presented by Citi
USC (Pac-10 champ) vs. Illinois (at-large)
FedEx Orange Bowl
Virginia Tech (ACC champ) vs. Georgia (at-large)
Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Oklahoma (Big 12 champ) vs. Arizona State (at-large)
Allstate Sugar Bowl
LSU (SEC champ) vs. Hawaii (at-large)

It seemed for the past four weeks that the Big 12 was certain to get a second team into the BCS, but the loss by Texas presents a scenario in which an Oklahoma victory in the conference title game could cost the Big 12 a BCS at-large spot. If the Rose Bowl has to replace Ohio State and chooses Illinois to do so, the lone Big 12 hope might be for the Fiesta to set up a "conference game" between Oklahoma and Kansas, which isn't as ridiculous as it sounds since the two didn't meet in the regular season.

After all, ridiculous seems to be all the rage in college football this year.

chinoz

I think you need Hawaii to lose...


Edit: or not..


What a wack season.

pgatour1

Sucks that UGA had to lose some stupid games early on, they are easily playing like one of the best, if not the best team the last month or so.

hornyleprechaun

They are the hottest team right now.. but so was California when they started the season and look at them now

pgatour1

Yeah, but you play the bowl games at the end of the year...

Stupid loss to SC this year, and Tennessee was just a really poorly played game

hornyleprechaun

I know. Ever since the Florida game they have been fired up. I just can't imagine a 2 loss team winning the NC

Professor

If Mizzu and WVU lose, UGA and NoShine could play for the NC against OSU.

Something has to be wrong with this system if a team doesn't win its conference or even its division, but could play for the NC.

hornyleprechaun

UGA won't play for the NC.. First off I don't think WVU will lose.

If both WVU & Mizzou lose then it would either be OU or LSU vs. Ohio State. The voters won't put a team that doesn't win their conference into the NC game.. especially when these teams have 2 losses.

pgatour1

There should be a separate ranking system for SEC teams. Its shitty that they have to beat themselves up all year, only to hurt their ranking. Ha.

On the other hand its retarded, that a 16-12 loss in Week 2 is what is keeping the (currently) best team in the SEC (and highest BCS ranked) from playing in the SEC Championship. I understand thats how it works, but the true two best teams in the SEC are LSU and UGA, they should be playing.

In terms of the NC, WV isn't going to lose against Pitt

HL, wanna lose some more money on Mizzou?


OU may have got the win in Norman (barely), but MU won't lose to them in San Antonio

(OU's Home Record since 1999: 53-2 - best in the country over that time)


and btw, MU>WV

hornyleprechaun

O please I took KState straight up against Mizzou

$10 parlay you have MU > OU & > WVU (or whoever is in the NC game). If MU loses one of those games you give me $10.. if they win both I'll give you $20. You just sound so confident

paz840

iTrader: (2)

lol, you're on!


...and i know OU beat MU 7 games ago, but it seems strange that the #1 team in the country is a 3-pt dog to the #9 team ...especially on a neutral field.

hornyleprechaun

Mizzou is also playing better than OU right now, and in a neutral site. So Mizzou has to win both games for you to receive $20. If they lose 1 of the 2 I get $10

paz840

iTrader: (2)

...can you explain to me how that works again???

j/k, i get it!

I go to Illinois and have a small support for Texas. But right now I am a huge OU fan.

Go Sooners!

hornyleprechaun

Aw come on Illinois fans don't you want Illinois vs. Florida in the Capital One Bowl? Zook vs. Meyer

gatrhumpy

iTrader: (1)

We would kill Illinois.

hornyleprechaun

Hopefully. It'd be good for tv because the media will hype up Zook vs. Meyer/Florida.

gocubsgo55

That's what Ohio State said.

gocubsgo55

But honestly, it would not be fun. It'd be the Recruiter vs. the Coach. Would not make for a good game.

Scottman111

Anybody watch the UK - Tennessee quadruple OT game on Saturday? Tennessee clinched a spot in the SEC title game by winning, and screwed Georgia in the process.

gocubsgo55

Kentucky should have won that game. Blocked FG and missed chances.
