    I don't think all three will go undefeated. As Auburn knows it can happen. I think Oklahoma gets left out because of past history when it comes down to voting. Voters are gonna wanna see LSU/USC.

    I wish I agreed with you, but I think, unless we're just absolutely dominant all year, at some point the voters will move an undefeated Oklahoma past us. They're one of those "storied programs" that the voters are always eager to overrate.

    An undefeated SEC team will never be snubbed again.

    I've said this in another post, but this is exactly why being #2 sucks. It's a long shot to have 3 teams finish undefeated, but it's not like it never happened before... It's easier to be booted out of the BCS game if you're #2 than if you're #1... Also, if #2 beats #1 in the BCS game and #3 beats a good opponent in the bowl...it's 2003 all over again.:dis: Whereas if #1 beats #2, no one cares about #3 cuz they wouldn't have chance (or so the thinking goes) - ask the aubies. So being #2 or #1 DOES matter.

    Doubt all 3 go undefeated, but if so...OU is very much on the outside looking in.

    USC won't fall, and there's no way OU jumps LSU, given LSU's schedule. OU's only signature win would be over a Texas team that looks well inferior, so far, to any they've had in the past 3 years.

    It wouldn't even be close.

    Oklahoma has proven that they have been included in the MNC game when it wasn't deserved. They have earned the right to be excluded.

    We have nothing to worry about if we win all of our games incl. SEC Title. Take it to the bank.

    USC-LSU is the best story and the 2 teams that everyone has wanted to see play since before the season even began.

    OU would be on the outside looking in.

    I'm going to have to disagree with this post. Take a look at recent history.
    '03
    USC (#1 in both human polls) left out of the mix
    LSU (#2 in both human polls) get's invited to the party
    OU (#3 in both human polls) get's invited to the party

    '04
    USC (#1 both human polls) get's a shot
    OU (#2 both human pols) get's a shot
    AU (#3 both human polls) ugly chick without a date.
