Am I right in thinking that if UGA somehow beats LSU we sneak into the Peach? *

Because UGA would go to the Sugar and Bama and LSU would play in the BCS title game. 3 BCS teams instead of 2 means everybody moves up a slot.

Oklahoma State somehow edges past Bama into the Championship Game. They have a long hill to climb to do that, but there's definitely some early Monday chatter about it.

Like this.....

But that comparison leads out one very important piece of data - who the loss was to.

Alabama's was to LSU.
OSU's was to Iowa State.

Huge difference.

Been keeping fingers crossed on this since UGA clinched the East. Getting them into the Sugar is an automatic bowl promotion for the rest of us. It would be sweet to pick up Chick-Fil-A or Gator instead of Music City.

That being said, I made hotel reservations in Nashville during the 4th quarter of the Egg Bowl.

Also, Bama's win over Arkansas was better than any of Oklahoma St.'s wins, and their road win over Penn St. was better than any of Oklahoma St.'s road wins.

Do they think losing a home game to the #1 team in OT and not winning your conference is more impressive than losing a road game toan unranked (but bowl eligible) team? Do they want to see a rematch? Are they tired of the SEC? I think you'll hear all that chatter pick up all week, enough so to make Saban very nervous.

Gottlieb also tweeted this: "Anyone that doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game."Saban,2003

but I have not seen a source attached to it.

they could get some votes based on them thinking they shouldnt count that game

...but they have to be ou and claim they lost that 1 game on that terrible day and they are Big whatever champs and bama didn't win their division


i think it should be bama and lsu, but i am just stating osu's case

...uga has to win to go to sugar bowl ...if bama and lsu rematch then sec will have 3 teams in bcs via a bylaw

I haven't followed the bowl projections much so I'm not that clear. I assumed if LSU lost to UGA that would bump them down to Sugar, with Alabama playing an OOC one-loss team in the BCS champ.

If a 6-6 team makes the peach bowl. I'll take it but I would think the Gator bowl would be a more likely destination. Florida to Peach and MSU back to Gator. If I'm not mistaken, Peach gets the pick before the Gator bowl.

Bama's in no matter what happens. Even if LSU loses a close one to UGA, they'd still have a better resume than Oklahoma St. Better overall record (12-1 vs 11-1). More quality wins (#2, 8, 9, 12 & 23 vs. #10, 11, 17, 22 & 25) and a much more quality loss (#14, but would move up vs. unranked). And don't even mention Stanford. They haven't beaten any BCS ranked teams all season. They did get the win over USC and that was impressive, but that is literallythe only thingthey have done all season. We would win at least 9 games with their schedule.</p>

There is an extremely slim chance OSU could jump them with a win over OU, but that's even highly unlikely.

LSU, with a loss to Georgia, isn't going to be dropped behind a Bama team they beat in Tuscaloosa. And you aren't likely to have a 1 loss Bama team vaulted by a 1 loss Stanford or Oklahoma State team.

This is the one scenario where a league could get 3 BCS bids, and it's a very realistic possibility. I put the odds at maybe 10% that UGA actually pulls the upset, but no one would've thought there would be a day when two teams from the same league could be 1 and 2 in the BCS WITHOUT winning their conference title, but that's what would happen if UGA pulled the upset.

If Oklahoma State loses to OU, it's pretty much a done deal.

Obviously, Va. Tech could lose this weekend, but I'm not sure what OSU could do to OK to convince the voter to bump them in front of BOTH Stanford and Alabama.
