What Oregons loss means to the BCS

Thanks to Oregon and their ability to win a game they should be able to win, the BCS is truly, officially, screwed.

When you look at the top 10, currently you have:

1. LSU
2. Oregon
3. Kansas    
4. Oklahoma
5. Missouri
6. West Virginia
7. Ohio State
8. Arizona State
9. Georgia
10. Virginia Tech

After this weekend, I predict the BCS poll will look like so:

1. LSU
2. Kansas
3. Oklahoma
4. Missouri
5. West Virginia
6. Ohio State
7. Arizona State
8. Georgia
9. Virginia Tech
10. Oregon

In 2 weeks, things get interesting. Missouri plays Kansas. Georgia travels to Georgia Tech. Virginia Tech plays Virginia to decide their respective division in the ACC. LSU gets to wait for December 1 st and the SEC Championship game against either UGA or Tennessee. I’ll go out out on a limb and say after next week, heading into Championship week, the top 5 (I’m lazy this week, sorry, deal with it) will look like so:

1. LSU
2. Oklahoma
3. Missouri
4. West Virginia
5. Ohio State

What this means is that right now, a Big 12 team is gaurunteed to get into the BCS Championship barring Oklahoma choking to Texas Tech or Oklahoma State within the next 2 weeks. Missouri has a rather easy game this weekend and SHOULD pass the warm up for Kansas. The winner of that Kansas/Missouri game moves up to the 3 spot in the BCS, therefore the winner of Oklahoma vs Kansas/Missouri will likely play LSU in the National Championship game. Now, I won’t get THAT far ahead of myself, LSU hasn’t looked dominant outside of one game all season and if WVU can win out the next 3 weeks, they could very much get into the national championship game.

Right now, I will go ahead and predict a Oklahoma/LSU National Championship game. It’s the most obvious choice, which means I will be dead ass wrong as it seems that is the popular thing this year. The favorites lose. So I’m sure the actual BCS Championship game will end up being Kansas vs. West Virginia. Really, who picked this at the beginning of the year? No one. What the hell is wrong with 2007?

"Thanks to Oregon and their ability to win a game they should be able to win..."

I don't understand. Are you saying that Oregon will win this weekend and then drop in the polls?

Huh?

I'm sick, and tired, I meant to say "ability to win a game they should have been able to win"
