Complete garbage!!!
How is LSU ranked 18th after their heroic comeback against Troy? They overcame a 31-3, 3rd quarter, lead by BOWL ELIGIBLE Troy. Yep, 6-4, might play in December, pride of the Sun Belt Conference, Troy. Texas Tech would only drop sixty or so on them, so 3rd seems about right. LSU has 3 wins against conference opponents with a combined record of 15 - 17 how could they be out of the top 5? What more could you ask for? They have only given up 50 points twice this season, that is only a whisper shy of perfection.
SC remains boxed out of the BCS barring one major upset. One of the following has to happen: 1) Mizzu beats Texas in Big-12 Champ game, 2) Auburn beats Alabama on the road, or 3) Florida St beats Florida at home. The other cards that are likely to fall are another Tech loss, another OU loss, and another Alabama loss. Tech is likely to lose at OU, there is a 50% change that OU loses at Okla St, and Florida should beat Alabama.
The scenario for an SC BCS game appearance are remote. At this point, I am honestly rooting for the Beavs to run the table to the Rose Bowl and open up a Fiesta Bowl matchup between USC and either Tech, Texas or OU. But, I bet the Beavs lose in Tuscon, so hello Rose Bowl and Penn St.
Both ESPN Bowl Projection experts are now showing Oregon State winning out and playing Penn St. in the Rose. The Cal win must have convinced them.
One has USC playing Texas in the Fiesta; the other has
USC facing Alabama in the Sugar.
Why are they going on about a 8 team playoff? It shows a lot of ignorance to even suggest it.
