re: If LSU and Houston win out, it should be those two

Who cares? LSU has beaten every other top 10 they have played, and the others couldn't keep their shite together to stay undefeated. Back in 2007 I agreed with the media that said a team should have to win its conference to have a chance to play for the MNC, even though I was pissed they only apparently wanted to apply it to UGA that year. I think they should have made it an official rule from the beginning considering that teams can't play everyone in the country to truly decide who is better. In the few instances that they have, it is ludicrous to have rematches of any sort. Like I stated, yep Houston's schedule was far worse then others, but it took tons of teams losing to even give them a shot so they have already overcome a decided built-in disadvantage. Bama, Arkansas, Oregon already had direct or will have direct shots at LSU. Virginia Tech may win its conference and OSU may win its conference. Stanford has a slim chance to get to its conference championship game, However, they all lost , so yeah I think Houston deserves its shot.
