11-1 LSU vs 12-1 Auburn for the BCS Title Game, is it possible?

Remember the question being posed, could we face Auburn? Obviously, if Auburn loses twice, there is no chance for an SEC showdown for the BCS title.

In terms of helping/hurting LSU, I would hope Auburn loses twice, then the voters would do their best NOT to pit TCU and Boise State and would get us close enough to them in the human polls. In the computer polls, it doesn't help or hurt us, as LSU would move to #1 in almost every computer poll and Auburn would slide past Boise and TCU (would not help with buffering us). There is an outside shot that in a couple of the computer polls a 2 loss Auburn could still be ahead of an undefeated Boise or TCU.

Cudos to the powers that be that scheduled North Carolina and West Virginia this year. It is paying off big time.

 

We need Stanford to win out because they serve as a buffer between LSU and Boise/TCU in almost all the computer polls. They take very few votes away from us in human polls, and with a win over Arkansas on the road, we will not be in danger of losing ground because some voters jumped Stanford over us.

If Stanford were to lose, you can almost boost TCU and Boise from .800 to .820 in the computer polls. That would be damaging to LSU's chances.

 

The loss to Alabama gives us another top 10 win in ALL the computer polls.

 

TCU is a 58 point favorite over their only remaining opponent on their schedule.

Try again.

I am presenting a case for a something that is somwhat realistic.
