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.

You slept through an entire year rip van winkle...

1 loss SEC champ LSU goes in against K-State, unless the humans show Oregon a lot of love.

Why? We have 4 games left. What else are we talking about of interest. All of this is conceivable. I seriously doubt that McCarron gets hurt, but I was trying to find a way to make an LSU win very controversial. Who knows?
Anyway, it is as relevant as 90% of what the talking heads speculate on all the time.

Oregon and ksu

Well, I do too. Have you read the Rant lately? Apparently, we look terrible every game. I am just picking up on that analysis.
Obviously, the defense looks great every week.

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.

The rantards freak out over every game regardless of outcome.

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

True. I should have specifically said "offense." I was not trying to imply that a 12-1 SEC champ LSU would be a "terrible" team. Obviously, that would not be the case.

Well they're already a solid #2 behind Alabama.
