If the following two things happen:

Big 12 South winner (Oklahoma, Texas or Texas Tech) is upset by Missouri in the Big 12 championship game
Oregon State beats Oregon or USC loses to UCLA (Oregon State wins Pac 10)

then the BCS National Championship Game will be

the SEC Championship Game winner (Florida/Alabama) vs. Utah.

How can that be set in stone considering there is no way to know where the human polls would put Utah if that happened?

first off, you don't have to win your conference so the number 2 team in the big 12 south would probably go. secondly, voters would put penn state in over utah

except that will never happen.

Utah is ranked too low and behind too many teams. Penn State and Texas would be in the mix.

they made the change - have to win your conference to play in the title game.

they were talking about it on ESPN.

If Texas ends up winning the Big 12 South and they lose to Missouri - Texas is out.
USC would be out because they did not win their conference</p>

Penn State is already two spots ahead in the polls, but the computers like Utah better, hence Utah is two spots ahead of Penn State in the BCS standings.</p>

This is as close as you will ever get to seeing a non-Big 6 get into the title game. Two things have to happen. One being very possible, the other being a longshot but not impossible.

I for one hope it happens. I hate the BCS.</p>

That's not a rule. Google is your friend.

  • The top two teams are given automatic berths in the BCS National Championship Game.
  • The champion of a BCS conference (ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-10, and SEC) is guaranteed an automatic BCS bowl bid.
  • The highest ranked champion of a non-BCS conference will receive an automatic berth if:
    • It is ranked in the top twelve, or
    • Ranked in the top sixteen and higher than another BCS Conference champion.
  • A special case is made for independent Notre Dame, which receives an automatic berth if it finishes in the top eight.
  • No more than two teams from any one conference may receive berths in BCS games <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: italic;">unless two non-champions from a BCS conference finish as the top two teams in the final BCS standings.</span>
  • The third-ranked team will receive an automatic berth if it has not already received one, and if it is a member of a BCS Conference.
  • If the third-ranked team did not require an at-large berth, then the fourth-ranked team will receive an automatic berth if it has not already received one, and if it is a member of a BCS Conference.

Tim Griffin of ESPN claims you can have 2 teams from one conference in the BCS title game.

2. Let the BCS lobbying begin. Before the third quarter of Saturday's Oklahoma-Texas Tech game was finished, Texas spin doctors were texting national football writers and poll voters to remind them about Texas' 45-35 victory over Oklahoma on Oct. 11. As if they really had forgotten. But it shows what will be as big a battle off the field as on it as two monolithic football programs with the public-relations machines to match. It should be interesting to see how everything unfolds. Texas failed in its biggest road test this season and so did Texas Tech. Now, it will be Oklahoma's chance against Oklahoma State in a bitter road rivalry game. A win there would resonate for the Sooners unlike either of the other two South Division challengers.</p>

I'm expecting to see a lot of bully pulpit harmonizing from Mack Brown and Stoops if their teams win their regular-season finales next week. Wouldn't it be delicious if somehow those two old rivals could end up meeting at the BCS Championship Game? Sure, Florida and Alabama would both have to lose as the Longhorns and Sooners keep winning. But in this wackiest of all college football seasons, anything appears to be possible.</p>

Croom said this preseason his goal was to be in a BCS game. Surely his integrity and "character" would help him succeed...where are we?
