    Ok, although this is just a step above insanely wishful thinking, could LSU back into a share of the MNC with USC this year, just being reversed from the last time it happened.? Ok, I really haven't taken anytime to figure out how it could really happen, the AP voters are always known to be prone to episodes of ridiculous logic.

    Say that USC wins out, goes to the championship game with OSU, and controversially beats them, or even just beats them closely. LSU goes to the Rose Bowl with Michigan and blows them out, could the voters see fit to move LSU to #1 in their poll, considering how close of a game between UM and OSU was when they played? Probably not, but it's kinda fun to figure out how crazy things could really be because nobody has control over the stupidity of the AP poll and their voters.

    Now, I know USC was already #1 in 2003 before they beat Michigan, so that is one of the many things working against the Tigers, but who knows? Stranger things have happened.

    OSU will not have more than 1 loss this year. End of discussion.

    yeah, and considering the AP decided they were changing how they voted for the past forever many years and decided Michigan wasn't going to drop even though they lost. Not that it really matters though since the AP isn't a part of the BCS anymore, but it is still a display of how ridiculous the AP has gotten.

    Yep. Outside of the few 1-loss teams fighting for the right to play in the title game, the winner can't be argued.

    I guess the only real scenario for a split would be between USC and Michigan if OSU loses to USC and Michigan beats whoever they play in the Rose Bowl, hopefully LSU is in the Orange Bowl in this scenario, then they might give the BCS to USC, and the AP might feel as if
    Michigan is next in line if OSU were to lose, and give them their title.

    We need to find an infraction on either OSU or Michigan that causes them to forfeit one game.

    Umm, yeah, and also LSU beat Florida and Auburn, so we deserve to be there.

    In other words, no.
