Oh don't get me wrong. I've never liked the idea of a selection committee and have maintained that we should've just used BCS rankings for selecting the top 4. That said, I would put the odds if us winning out and not being in the top 4 at approximately one in a thousand.

I don't think y'all would be left out either. But the potential is still there. Actually, the real -- as in, it could feasibly happen this season -- danger is Bama winning out, MSU winning out except for Bama, and the committee taking a hard line about whether MSU is actually worthy in spite of the evidence, simply because they don't want to rock the boat by picking two SEC teams. The BCS formula could do that, but it was a lot harder to manipulate than a small group.
