Hypothetical: Who Goes to the BCS Title Game If THIS Happens?

We tend to think that the SEC Champ will go to the title game no matter what. But, what if this scenario plays out?
LSU beats Alabama 12-10 after McCarron goes down on a Mingo horse collar in the first quarter, tweaking his knee. He comes back the next week and Alabama blows out everyone else on the schedule. LSU continues to look bad and barely beats everyone else, but they win. Both teams finish 11-1 but LSU wins the West.
LSU then beats Florida in the SECCG 16-14 in a game where Florida outplays LSU, but LSU's defense forces turnovers their offense converts into 3 FG's, including one late to win the game.
Oregon, Kansas St., and Notre Dame win out.
Final standings are:
Oregon 13-0 - PAC12 champ
Kansas St. 12-0 - Big12 champ
Notre Dame 12-0 - Media champ
LSU 12-1 - SEC champ and only team with victory over 2 top 5 teams AND they avenged their only lost, but they have no offense and looked terrible all season.
Alabama 11-1 with their only loss coming in a game where their All-SEC QB got hurt on an illegal play.
Florida 12-1, SEC East champ and loser to LSU, a team they beat soundly earlier but lost to on something of a fluke late.
Who goes to BCSCG? Does the media just leave the SEC out altogether and we get Oregon and KSU? Ugh. A strong case could be made that Bama is still the best team. How would you decide this?
Just curious what the SEC thinks about the rest of college football and where we stand.

Oregon and Kansas State. A one loss SEC team isn't going to jump any of the undefeateds

Oregon and ksu

It would be a mess, but LSU may get in. Better odds if only 2 undefeated teams remain.

Oregon and Kansas State pretty comfortably in this situation.
ETA: Actually, I could see the human voters jumping ND up past Kansas State if ND somehow beat Oklahoma and USC. So MAYBE Oregon and ND. But definitely 2 of those 3 would be in the BCS championship over a 1 loss SEC team.

You LSU fans are cute. But Oregon and Notre Dame probably go. The SEC would be behind all those unbeatens.

Oregon still has to go through USC-- twice probably, and all bets are off when they play in state rival Oregon State. I think Oregon is good and most likely to remain undefeated but a lot of games left.
Notre Dame has to go to Oklahoma and has a tough matchup to end the season against USC, they don't have a good enough offense to win out in my opinion.
K State looks really good and Collin Klein has played like a beast. They definitely go.
I would be willing to bet the most likely outcome would be a K State and 1 loss SEC team- though no telling who, it all depends on the voters and the computers and that is all black magic.
It's an interesting thought though and will be exciting to see play out over the course of the final month and a half
