That's the majority of the posters in this thread.
BCS ranking would decide a 3 way tie, because the other tie breakers still end in a tie.
There is no such rule that a non-conference champ can't get into the BCS champ game. OU did it in 03, if i remember the year correctly. That's never changed. hence why we've been talking about a rematch for a month. If this rule existed I'm sure members of the media would be aware of it.
Lastly, Brad Edwards even talked about a way for 3 SEC teams to get into BCS bowls last night, if LSU loses to UGA in the Champ game, but LSU/Bama are still ranked #1 and #2 in the BCS rankings, then LSU/Bama will be in the National Championship, and UGA will go to the Sugar Bowl. If two non-conference champs are allowed, then one certainly is.

LSU would have to lose twice. A loss to Arky would still keep them within 5 places of the UA in BCS standings. Therefore, they would look at Head to Head battle. Of course Arky would be within 5 too. Really - not sure who should get to go. Everyone assuming Arky would be out but why? They lost a long time ago. It would be a popularity contest for sure - and we would have one hell of a Mythical National Champion that didn't win it on the field.
