An Alabama Arkansas national title game with neither having played in the conference championship game. The howling would be tremendous from fans/media alike.tk421;980112 wrote:If somehow LSU would lose the SEC title game, the BCS will explode.
Nah, Arkansas would be bounced from the conversation with a loss at LSU. What happens if Arkansas wins in Death Valley next week? Would LSU still represent in the SEC 'ship?IggyPride00;980114 wrote:An Alabama Arkansas national title game with neither having played in the conference championship game.

i'd imagine we'd have another okla/ttu/texas highest bcs ranking fiasco on our handsgorocks99;980117 wrote:Nah, Arkansas would be bounced from the conversation with a loss at LSU. What happens if Arkansas wins in Death Valley next week? Would LSU still represent in the SEC 'ship?

i believe, in that scenario, the sec would get three teams in. georgia would have the conference's automatic bid while the two teams that didn't play in the secchamp game would be in the national champNilesPacMan;980131 wrote:Well, then... What if Arkansas does beat LSU, and by some other stuff happening, LSU/Arkansas/Alabama remain 1-3? Then, the team from those three who make it to the SEC Championship then lose to SEC East? Then, that would put the other two as number 1 and number 2. Is the rule where the BCS can't accept more than two teams from the same conference still in place? If so, then the SEC East winner would get in, and then the number 1 team would get in, and the second team would not be playing for the national title...
I believe the #1 vs #2 would trump allowing 3 teams from 1-league get in. However, interesting question...the scenario has never come up before...wondering the official answer myself.NilesPacMan;980131 wrote:Well, then...

Damn. Pac-12 schools have to be pissed. Not sure if this was before or after OU lost to Baylor so maybe there is a chance Stanford gets in as an At-Large team.USC beating Oregon cost the Pac-12 a 2nd BCS team & $508,000 PER SCHOOL.
