Not true. Ohio state would not get in over a 1 loss SEC team. They ran the computers last year and they stil lwouldnt make it with their schedule last year. Their schedule is worse this year.


What "computers" did they run? Did they run the "computers" with Ohio State getting all the second place votes (and possibly some first place votes) compared to the SEC runner up getting all the third place votes at best? Because that is about what the scenario would be and in that scenario OSU gets in I think.

The 1 loss SEC champ might beat them out in the computers (1/3 of the BCS formula) but not likely to overcome the deficit in the polls (2/3 of the BCS formula).

They will all be unbeaten before the bowls. Who gets in to play the S.E.C champ? I can really see our league champ having one loss but still playing for the Title.


Florida St. won't be undefeated and Oregon has a history of choking. Louisville will prob be undefeated, but has a joke of a schedule.

Oregon will probably get it done.(If not them then Stanford will)
Louisville will get it done.
I think the winner of FSU/Clemson stumbles somewhere else along the way.
OSU depends on Michigan. If Michigan can stay out of trouble the rest of the year I don't think OSU can beat them two weeks in a row to finish.

FSU will probably lose to Wake Forest or NC State like they always do. FSU just don't have that championship feel like they've had in the 90's and early 2000's. FSU did rise out of 7-5 mediocrity but they're like Mark Richt-ish 9-3, 10-2 team every year.


I can't believe I'm agreeing with crimpdaddy but this is correct, except FSU usually has a crappier schedule than the mutt team coached by Helen.

To be fair I think he was making the assumption that SEC champ is a shoe in for the NC (thus no mention of LSU or Bama)

Exactly. Thanks for clarifying. Don't see an undefeated team in our league this year. Even our middle of the road teams (Aub, Ole Miss, Arky) will pull some upsets this year.

Assuming the SEC Champ and those other 3 teams are all undefeated, the NCG will be between the SEC team and either Oregon or Fla St.

Ohio State just doesn't have top quality opponents on their schedule against whom they can prove themselves.

FSU would have to beat Clemson (elite), Florida, and Miami (both respectable).

Oregon would have to beat Stanford (elite) and UCLA respectable.

OSU doesn't have a single top 10 opponent on their schedule.

Seems far fetched that the voters would allow that, especially with all the yankees voting for OSU
