I have been thinking the same thing. The BCS is likely to be 1 - Bama, 2- LSU, and 3- Arkansas no matter the outcome of LSU/Arkansas. So, you would have the number 1 team in the BCS not go to its conference championship game.


I don't think you meant to say that. Obviously, if LSU beats Arkansas, it will be

#1 LSU
#2 Alabama
#3 Oklahoma St.

IF Oklahoma St. beats OU and LSU beats Georgia, it will be

#1 LSU
#2 Oklahoma St.

In the BCS National Championship game because of the computer scores. That's what I'm hearing, anyway.

And if LSU goes to the BCS NCG at 13-0 and lose they are still the national champs. If you cannot rationize this then shut the frick up. Since it is impossible to, shut the frick up. LSU is a must win friday. Don't believe it and nobody cares. You are all delusional if you think LSU stays ahead of Arkansas with a loss. God help you and your family.

If LSU loses to Arkansas, and Bama wins, they will most likely be #1 in the BCS for November 27th. LSU has a chance to squeeze into #1 as well, but not likely. So yes, the #1 team in the BCS will not be in its conference championship. However, if LSU beats UGA, they will take back the #1 spot in the human polls, and with it, the #1 spot in the BCS. Further, there is a chance Alabama could get backed down to 4th in the computer rankings on December 4th. OSU would cement #2 and Arkansas would get additional leverage since the win over LSU would look even more impressive. If that happens, and Bama falls to #4 in the computers, they are really going to be cutting it close with OSU.

Put it this way, no sane Alabama fan should pull for Arkansas on Friday. Alabama needs to be the consensus #2 or #3 team in the computers to get in, and Arkansas and OSU are their biggest threats.

Uhhh... wha? You should either cut your ears off or stop listening to the people you're talking to then. If Bama and LSU both win - both are playing for the BCS NC.
Not sure if you're trolling or just retarded.

You just are hearing what you want to hear then. OSU is going to have to get a significant amount of second place votes to catch Bama and they have a lot of ground to catch up to do so (they are 6th right now). If Arkansas, Va Tech, and Clemson lose then OSU MIGHT have an outside shot.

Lulz. No. And every major website (ESPN, CBS, SI, FoxSports, on and on) in the country disagrees with you right now. Ok St is already #2 in the computers, beating Oklahoma isn't going to give them an advantage they don't already have there. Meanwhile, Alabama has 169 of the 174 second place votes in the two human polls. Basically Alabama is almost as strong a #2 as LSU is a #1. Over half of the voters would have to not only have to change their minds and have Ok St jump Alabama, but any other teams that are still ahead of Ok St (VT and Stanford are the two possibilities). Ain't happening.
