I'm looking at the rest of the schedule and see an interesting scenario creeping up on us.  There are plenty of scenarios out there, but I'm going with this one because I can see some people going ape when it happens.  And its also the most likely.

Need Alabama and Texas Tech to lose their championship games.

We will start with the SEC.  Let's say Florida loses to South Carolina. It's possible. Spurrier is getting his team cranked up and they are one of the few teams out there with a defense who could slow Florida down.  But it really doesn't matter if they win or lose to SC, what is important is that an inspired bunch of Gators go to the SEC Championship game and beat Bama.

And Texas Tech needs to beat Okalahoma and head off to the Big 12 championship game and suffer a let down against Mizzo and Chase Daniels while looking ahead to their BCS Championship game.

In a perfect world..  PSU will have won out, Texas will have won out, USC will have won out

And Boise, Utah and Ball State are still undefeated.

What do you do ??

You can't objectively put either USC or Penn State over Texas, who is already ahead of them and playing better than they are against a MUCH stronger SOS.  And you have Alabama and Texas Tech..  how far do they drop in the polls, compared to how far these other teams dropped when they lose earlier in the season ?

And does the BCS again put a team in the National Championship game which lost its conference championship ?

So, here you are at the end of the season.  You've kept Texas near the top of the BCS, and you're stuck with that.  You've got a few very hard choices to make to avoid putting Texas Tech and Texas in the BCS game.

You either only drop Bama one place, even though they've played some less-than- stellar games against an unusually easy SEC schedule and just lost to Florida.

You jump USC over Texas, or you hold your nose and jump Penn St. over USC and Texas.  If you wanted to keep Utah undefeated, then you can look at that case, too, and say you could jump them over everyone. After all, they did go undefeated.

No matter what happens, every team that gets left out has a valid argument.  USC won their conference, as did Penn State.  Texas was at the top and played some incredible football this year.  Utah was undefeated.  Boise was undefeated.  Bama only lost one game was ranked at the top of the BCS, but didn't win their championship. Same for Texas Tech.

To be honest, I'd much rather see Bama play Texas Tech in the Championship game.
