It should be Georgia but the media has been on LSU all year. You know its going to be LSU.

What I've heard for 2 or 3 weeks is "nobody wants to play Georgia now," and "USC and UGA are the two best teams in the country right now." I think voters will try to move them up to #2.

Kansas--no way, man. They're the 3rd best Big12 team. The Chick-Fil-A Bowl for them.

Way to go, Buckeyes!

Kansas was #4 last week in Computer Ranking. With 2 teams losing in front of Kansas. It's very likely that Kansas can move up to #2 behind OSU, unless other weird variables affected the computer rankings to put Kansas down further than #2 or #3.

It still counts as 1/3 of the whole BCS equation so it can be a toss up between Georgia, LSU, and Kansas, basically.

The interesting thing is, the human voters have the most influence in the formula, and have the chance to influence the process by basically naming who they want to play for the championship. However, if a team that is doing well enough in the computers doesn't get placed far enough behind the voters' choice, we could end up with something other than what the voters intend.

That said, I don't see any way that LSU doesn't make it in. This team just won't die.

the fool is trying make the case that since, "we're undefeated in regulation" we should have a shot at the NC! :shake:

would someone please tell Les that the game isn't over until one team has more points than the other team. That was the worst argument ever. You lost to kentucky (3-5) in the SEC and arkansas (4-4) in the SEC. You don't deserve it any more than the next team.

Well, that would make sense then. Missouri was #1, which pushed Kansas's computer ranking really high.

Looks like they might finish at #4 instead. I'd say that the final BCS standing might have 3 teams fighting for #2 between LSU, Georgia, and Virginia Tech.

I get the feeling for LSU as well. I just hate the fact that the National Championship Game is in New Orleans, LSU's home area.

Move it to Rose Bowl and it's all good.

Isn't it awesome that for the second year in a row, the one and only team that doesn't have to plead their case or argue their resume to get into the National Championship game is our Buckeyes??? On Sportscenter Van Pelt told Tressel that he had 10 more minutes to call in. Why? There's nothing left to say.
