How to blow up the BCS....


Let's play a little hypothetical game today. We all want to see the BCS implode right? Sure we do. How would that most likely happen??

A non-BCS conference school would have to win the National Championship. There is no way the presidents and athletic directors at the BCS schools could ignore that.

And lucky for us this might be the best chance for that to happen.

At this time there are 2 undefeated non BCS schools in the top 7 of the BCS...TCU and Boise State. Above them however there are still 5 undefeated BCS schools (Alabama, Florida, Texas, Iowa, and Cincinnati). In addition to them though there are 5 additional BCS schools with only 1 loss that could jump them in the BCS if they win the remainder of their games (Georgia Tech, Oregon, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and LSU).

So let's just be safe and assume that 9 of those teams have to lose in order for this to happen. And if a school from one conference remains undefeated any school from that conference will automatically be eliminated because they would not allow teams from the same conference in the BCS title game.

Meaning if Florida goes undefeated and plays an undefeated Alabama team in the SEC title game there is no chance you would see that matchup again in January.

So I took at the schedules and this is what I think....

Florida needs to run the table....

Alabama would win out (which would give LSU its 2nd loss) and then lose to Florida in the SEC Championship....

Texas would have to lose to either Kansas or Texas A&M (could happen) and then struggle in the Big 12 Title game....

Iowa would have to lose one ot their remaining 3 games...most likely 11/14 @ Ohio State....

Cincinnati has 4 games left and needs to lose 1 (no way a 1 loss Big East team gets in) most likely to lose @ Pittsburgh on 12/5....

LSU would have already lost their 2nd but if they were to beat Bama this weekend they could also lose either against Ole Miss, Arkansas or in the SEC title game....

Oregon is on the outside looking in honestly since they already lost to Boise. There would be one hell of an uproar if Oregon gets in over Boise but to make sure that doesn't happen they need to lose @ Arizona or against Oregon State....

Penn State might not leap over either TCU or Boise anyhow but to be sure they would need to probably lose this weekend against Ohio State....

Pittsburgh (like PSU) probably isn't going to make it but to be sure have Notre Dame, WVU, or Cincy beat them (likely)....

Georgia Tech is the toughest to pick out a loss...they shouldn't be challenged until the ACC Title game and that might not be a challenge either....but Georgia could beat them after Thanksgiving...

That all leaves only 1 more thing...

Boise and/or TCU HAS TO RUN THE TABLE....

TCU could lose this week (watch out for SDSU in a trap game) or next week vs Utah....

Boise has 2 tough games left (technically) against La Tech this week or Idaho next week....

But if we want to see the BCS implode wouldn't it be great to finish it off with an ALL non-BCS title game of Boise vs TCU!?!?!

The potential to see this is small but starting this week there are games that matter....

Alabama over LSU
Ohio State over Penn State
UConn over Cincy
Wake Forest over Georgia Tech
Boise State over La Tech
TCU over San Diego State U

Sure there are other games and if those outcomes don't come to be there are other chances to see these teams lose but those are the best chances to see the beginning of the end of the BCS!


***if I confused you above just look at this....

Alabama beats LSU this weekend but loses to Florida on 12/5...

Texas loses to Kansas and for good measure to Texas A&M...

Iowa loses to Ohio State...

Cincinnati loses to Pittsburgh....

Oregon loses to Arizona and/or Oregon State...

Georgia Tech loses to Georgia....

Penn State loses to Ohio State...

Pittsburgh loses to West Virginia...

AND...

Boise State and/or TCU win the rest of their games....

And we get to see...

Florida vs TCU/Boise St. for the National Championship....AWESOME!!!
