The part about what may happen if OU loses to KSU is pretty interesting. Geaux Orangemen http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?page=/bcsroad/1205
Yeah, if Notre Dame and Southern Cal both win, I'd love to see Kansas State win just to cause caos with the BCS.
Rich Tellshow emailed me back on this scenario of Notre Dame/K-State/Boise State winning combo and does not come up with LSU being ahead of USC by 2 spots in the SOS (which is what is required for LSU to finish 2nd in the BCS). He has LSU up on USC by only 1 spot. Would be nice to get some confirmation on this. As far as the SOS standings go, UCLA falls behind both LSU and USC in this situation, so that doesn't help anything. He projects Texas Tech to still be ahead of LSU by .00004. The only thing I can think of is maybe the BCS rounds to the 4th decimal and Tech and LSU would be tied in the SOS standings.
I think Rich only figured in the loss by Oklahoma against Tech's W-L opponent's record. Seven of Tech's opponents also played Oklahoma, so I think that is the difference. I just did the SOS calculation for Texas Tech and they finish 1 spot behind LSU and 1 spot ahead of USC. Go Tech!
I calculated Tech's SOS wrong. They remain ahead of LSU as well. I still don't know how Mr. Palm has LSU ahead of USC by 2 spots in the SOS with the Notre Dame/K-State/Boise St. winning combo. I wish someone would shed some light on who is between LSU and USC in the SOS ranks for this scenario.
