I repeat.

The winner will likely ass rape Boise State in the BCS title game, unless the voters see fit to move Wisconsin ahead of BSU.

Stanford and Oklahoma St may be in the discussion come November too.

From what I've seen I don't know how LSU could lose a game this year though.

Bump for Edit- I added and removed games thru the end of the year. I did more intense research to add games that were missed before. Weeks 7, 9 and 11 all have a ton of big matchups. Things are only getting warmed up on this crazy year.

I'll say it again, the LSU-Bama winner will play Boise in the NC game.

Either Boise gets the ass raping they richly deserve or the SEC suffers a major embarrassment. A win/win.

No love for Oklahoma State or Stanford?

Not a question of love. Both are behind Boise in the BCS standings. They shouldn't be, but the voters still have a hard on for the spuds and they are unlikely to lose a game.

As stated, Oklahoma State is already ahead of Boise State, and there's no way they'll drop below them without losing. Clemson and Kansas State should also both jump Boise if they keep winning.

And Stanford just became the first team since the polls started in 1936 to defeat 10 straight opponents by 25 or more points, so they should easily jump Boise if they win out, including a win over Oregon and an extra bump for the CCG, even though that opponent probably won't be ranked.

But ESPN will cool on the Boise hype. Why? So they can start the hype for the possible Bama-LSU rematch in the BCS title game. If Stanford, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Clemson all lose, they'll say that the rematch is the best title game.

I think I just became a HUGE Stanford fan this year. But I wouldn't mind pulling for Oklahoma State.

Big Ten did one thing today... guaranteed themselves that nobody will be in the NCG. Kind of sad that of the five major conferences, we are the only one without a legit NCG contender now. Got to think ACC-Clemson, Pac12-Stanford, Big12-OkieSt, and SEC-Bama/LSU all still have very legit shots.

The highest ranked team in the B1G will now be Michigan State...that says a lot.

I don't agree that the Big is without a national contender.
I believe Sparty has a good shot! And Wiscy, too!

Updated- Condensed the last 3 full weeks into the teams with real chances to sneak into the title game. If chaos happens, it will still be hard for any 2 loss teams to make the game. So I deleted any games if both teams had at least 2 loses, ranked highly or not. If other teams move into that category the games to watch will shrink.
