Bama is not out of the running yet. Missouri must win tonight vs A&M to officially put their chances away. If A&M beats Missouri, then Auburn could lose to South Carolina next week and a very average Ohio State team could easily lose to Michigan State in the Big 10 CG as well. So then 1 loss Michigan State, Oklahoma State and Clemson would be the only viable options over Bama. Bama's computer polls are going to still be very high and I don't see them dropping past #5 in the human polls if Missouri wins, and #4 is Missouri loses. 1. Florida State 2. Ohio State 3. Auburn 4. Alabama or Missouri 5. Alabama if Missouri wins tonight Oklahoma State lost to a horrible West Virginia team. Clemson lost to FSU, nobody is going to want that game again. Michigan State is so far behind in the BCS standings, just too far to climb in just 1 week.
No one wants Bama in another championship. If there is a way to keep them out, voters will use it. Almost every poll voter will drop Bama as low as they reasonably can.
God I hope Mich St. beat Ohio State! I actually want to see AU go all the way. Keep the BCS in the SEC, plus their only loss would be to us.
I wish that was the case, but it won't be. Alabama won't be lower than 5th. Would not be surprised to see them #4 ahead of a 1 loss Missouri.
FSU has to lose to Duke. So that is about 3 percent. Duke is very well coached and doesn't shoot themselves in the foot, but does not have the athletes to contend vs FSU. They would have to win the turnover battle by at least 3, if not 4. Duke's defense is suspect, I don't seem them slowing down the Winston train. But yeah, if FSU lost, it would be Bama vs Auburn.
I want to see Missouri win it all. Remember, Missouri did us a favor in 07 and lost their CG to Oklahoma, which allowed a 2 loss LSU to play Ohio State. Otherwise, Missouri would have gone instead.
Ok, now Bama has to hope for both FSU and Ohio State to both lose next week to get a shot at playing the winner of the SEC CG. That is what they are reduced to. Duke, it is time for you to go the fuck away. Don't forget, FSU could still lose Winston before the Duke game if the DA decides on if they have a case or not. That would allow Duke to have a chance at victory. Look for Bama boosters to line the pockets of this DA in Tallahassee.
My projected BCS Rankings tomorrow: 1. FSU 2. Ohio State 3. Auburn 4. Missouri 5. Alabama 6. Oklahoma State Auburn and Missouri will definitely be in striking distance of Ohio State. Auburn has the better shot because of it's takedown of behemoth Alabama. A close Ohio State win and a dominant win by Auburn or Missouri could just be enough to get to that #2 spot. It would be up to the voters as the computers will favor both Missouri and Auburn over Ohio State. Alabama and Missouri will be really close for 4th.
