If everything goes as planned the next 2 weeks, the BCS Championship game in Pasadena is a lock for Bama/UF vs Texas. Some people like to play the "What if" game. Who wants to play?
What if Alabama loses to Auborn, then Beats Florida in the SECCG, and Texas loses against Nebraska in the BXIICG, and the rest of the Top 7 wins out? That leaves you with two one loss SEC teams. TCU, Boise St., Cinci will be undefeated. Also Georgia Tech, and Texas with one loss. Sounds like a blogger's dream, or a BCS homer's nightmare.
Florida(1) wins against FSU
Alabama(2) loses againstAuborn
Texas(3) wins against A&M
TCU(4) wins against New Mexico
Cincinnati(5) wins against Illinois
Boise St.(6) wins against Nevada
Georgia Tech(7) wins against Georgia
-------------------------------------------
Florida loses against Alabama
Texas loses against Nebraska
Cinci wins against Pitt
BoiseSt. wins against New Mexico St.
GTech wins against Clemson
WHATS LEFT?
Florida(11-1):No team only one team has ever played in the BCSNCG with a week 14 loss.
Alabama(11-1):After the loss to Auborn, they would drop down to #4-7. After they beat UF(1), they would have a resume beating #1,#14,#15,#25 as of now. But the BCS punishes teams with late losses. Is the resume enough to take the #2 spot over 12-0 TCU, and 12-1 GT with a week 3 loss?
Texas(11-1): See Florida
TCU(12-0):The resume isn't very impressive, but still undefeated and 2 wins against #18 Clemson and #21 Utah...they would have a tough fight between Bama, and GT with impressive one loss resumes.
Cinci(12-0): A decent resume including wins against #9 Pitt and #16 Oregon St., most importantly they remain undefeated with a week 14 win against a top 10 team, knowing the BCS that should propel them to #1.
Boise St.(12-0): Very weak resume, only one tough win against #8 Oregon in week 1. The rest of the schedule will make them Utah of 2009.
Georgia Tech(12-1):Impressive resume including wins against #18 Clemson twice, #24 North Carolina, #14 VTech. The only other top contender for #2 with a better resume is Bama, but Techs loss came in week 3 against #17 Miami compared to Bamas week 13 loss to unranked Auborn.
LATE FACTORS TO LOOK OUT FOR:
Florida- Only thing left for UF too look forward to is who thier BCS game will be against... Thier SOS is too weak for a FSU loss, and win over Bama for them to still have hope.
Alabama- LSU, and OLE MISS need impressive week 13 wins to keep them looking like worthy opponents.
Texas- see Florida
TCU- A Utah win against BYU is thier only opponent that will help thier SOS. Also a VTech loss will slightly help. Clemson winning against USC will help TCU, but also help GT, considering this is all based on GT beating Clemson. But a Clemson win against GT in the ACC/CG could help TCU's case against Bama for the #2 spot.
Boise St.- A impressive win for Orgeon over Oregon St. would be the only glimmer of hope if any for Boise St. The way the voters have been this year, a Oregon win may drop Boise St. below Oregon.
Cincinnati- The only way Cinci's trajectory to #1 gets ruined is If Oregon St. gets blown out against Oregon, and Pitt gets embarrassed by West Virginia. In this instance all hell will break loose for who deserves to be 1-2!
Georgia Tech- a blow out against UGA and Clemson will confuse everyone on what team deserves to be #2.
Possible #1 VS #2 match up.
GT vs Cinci- please no!
Besides the easy guess of UF/Bama VS Texas, Lets play the "What If Game", who else could end up #1 vs #2 in Pasadena in your eyes?

how about pitt beats cincy. texas loses to nebraska and gators beat bama
tcu vs florida in national championship game. after watching a texas defense give up 39 points to a 6-6 texas am team makes me believe that nebraska can and will win the big 12 cg. pitt and cincy is a toss up but cincy is kinda like iowa running on fumes so i think the panthers can win that one too. remember it was a nationwide audience tonight that saw the texas game and i wonder how many voters are thinking that tcu is indeed better than texas. watch the harris poll this sunday. tcu had three number one votes. i’ll bet it goes up even more especially if florida and bama struggle this week. peace.
yes i am obsessive, obnoxious, in your face and all about covering the spread. those are my good qualities.

After last night...
Would rather face Texas or Cincinnati in the National Championship than TCU. 39 points?!? Since when has a BCS champion ever given up that many points in regulation? (I know 2-loss LSU did it 2007, but those were in overtime)
bama did struggle today and cincy still wins but just barely enough(meaning they did not actually put away the illinois team until late in the game) over an illinois team
if ingram is not at full strength bama has no chance of beating the gators. pitt’s defense playing well so far. if nebraska’s and pitt’s defense do what they do next week we may indeed have a florida vs tcu ncg in pasadena. i have my fingers crossed.

Oklahoma?...
did they not go to the BCS NC after a loss to K State? or was that week 13?

They did
But don’t forget that Southern Cal already had a loss, too.
Team Speed Kills. All SEC, all the time.
Did LSU lose a week 14 game in 2007?
And still make it to the NC? That would have been the 3 overtime game against Arkansas.
Well my scenario hasnt played out so much
Texas still has to play Nebraska though. So an upset there, will stir up the BCS pot with TCU/Cinci battling it out.
If Texas or UF/Bama loses, and one of them was to get in, it would have to be one of the SEC losers since they would have a late loss against a #1 or #2 team compared to a loss against a #22 Neb. Although a close score, and a blowout could change that.

How about Brian Kelly leaves to go to ND
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...
