    If Tennessee beats Kentucky, Georgia will end with a 10-2 record assuming that UGA beats Georgia Tech. Kansas and/or Missouri will lose at least one game as they play each other head to head and will drop below Georgia in the rankings. Georgia would then become a top 6 or better team.

    LSU would be in the MNC game and Georgia would likely be invited to the Sugar Bowl.

    That scenario would put two SEC teams in BCS slots.

    I would love for Kansas to go undefeated...The Hat v. The Penguin...I would be a compelling matchup.

    Not to mention the fact that the Superdome crowd will be 85% LSU - 15% Kansas.

    It'll be 85% LSU no matter who we play. That's the beauty of playing in N.O.

    What do you think the chances are of a two-loss team winning the title this year? LSU still plays Arky and the SEC Championship, Kansas vs. Missouri, the Big 12 Championship, ASU vs. USC, and WVU vs. Connecticut.

    If a few teams stumble (like they have all year) then we could have a one-loss Ohio State vs. a two-loss team...and judging from Ohio State's tendency to finish at #2, the National Champs could have two losses.

    With a ton of teams at two losses, even Auburn, Alabama, USC, and Notre Dame may claim a title this year. :hihi:

    Basically, "who cares if they pass us?"???

    I mean, the top 2 teams play for the national title anyways so it really makes NO difference if you enter that BCS title game at #1 or #2. As long as you win the damn thing, how you get there or what your ranking is when you got there means NOTHING.

    If we get there, the only ranking I'll be concerned with is where I now stand of the TAF Priority Points list! I had tickets to the 2003 game and I want another pair this year!

    Ummmm!!! I'd say 5%...There's still 6 teams with 1 loss or fewer...It would take a lot for that to happen...Anything's possible of course...but say that Mizzou beats Kansas, and LSU and WVU loose one game...You know what??? That still leaves Kansas and OSU as one loss teams that should go to the championship game.
