Your Right i agree its definitly possible for the big 12 champ to lose before the game...Ok to TxTech or Ok State, Misouri to K State, or Kansas to Iowa State, and go on to wini the b12 champ game...that would basically eliminate all b12 teams from the picture....So we would need 3 of the 4 teams to lose 1 more (big 12 champ, Oregon, West Virginia, and LSU..) I think the only way Oregon gets left out is if Kansas wins out, they'd most likely put Kansas vs. LSU...and we'd play oregon...my question is, If LSU, Oklahoma, and Oregon all win out, I assume we'd play a 1 loss Arizona State team over anyone, but if AZ State Loses to USC, do you think we would play USC in the Rose Bowl? The Rose Bowl would have first pick at who they want to replace Oregon, so do you think they would want the huge matchup of Ohio State vs. 3 Oklahoma who got left out of the big game? Or do you think they would do anything to put a second BCS Pac 10 team and have the big 10 pac 10 matchup?
I would be very happy with the opportunity to play a 1 loss Oregon or a 1 loss Oklahoma tema in the Rose bowl, we'd get to prove ourself just as much as the teams in the N Champ. game in my opinion, they would be 2 bowl games on par with each other.
