    If Auburn wins, LSU definitely maintains #1.

    If Ole Miss wins, then #1 is very much up for grabs.

    Tennessee beating SC helps us to possibly stave off Clemson in a couple of the computer polls. Clemson losing obviously rules any of that scenario out.

    Auburn won, SC won, Clemson lost. We'll see what happens!

    I think you're going to see ...

    LSU
    Bama
    OK State
    Stanford
    Boise.

    The win over USC should have propelled Stanford above Boise.

    It's definitely LSU #1 and Bama #2.

    In fact LSU could jump Bama in the Colley Matrix (very close), so LSU's advantage should increase slightly over Bama.

    The pecking order for the BCS Title game:

    1. Undefeated SEC Champ (13-0)
    2. Undefeated Stanford (13-0)
    3. Undefeated Oklahoma State (12-0)
    4. 1 loss SEC Champ (12-1) LSU or Alabama
    5. Winner of LSU/Bama losing SEC CG (12-1)
    6. Loser of LSU/Bama (11-1)
    7. 1 loss Pac 12 Champ (12-1) Stanford or Oregon
    8. Undefeated Boise State (12-0)
    9. 1 loss Big 12 Champ (11-1) Oklahoma or Oklahoma State
    10. 1 loss ACC Champ (12-1) Clemson or VaTech

    I think we're just looking at Oklahoma State and Stanford losing to have a rematch of LSU and Alabama.

    That boils down to 2 games most likely:

    Stanford/Oregon
    Oklahoma State/Oklahoma

    All this is predicated on a very close game between LSU/Alabama.

    The question is how do you crown a 12-1 SEC team the champion over a 13-1 SEC team if the loser of the LSU/Bama game goes on to beat the other in the BCS title game? That's crazy. I'm pretty sure the AP would crown the other as champion and we would split this year.

    One caveat for Boise State, if Georgia runs the table and beats an undefeated LSU/Alabama in the SEC CG, Boise State would jump to #5 on that list. Georgia holds Boise State's fate more than anything.
