Coming into Saturday, Oregon and Kansas State had the inside track to college football’s national championship and the Southeastern Conference’s run of six straight BCS titles was in jeopardy.
Then No. 2 K-State got thumped 52-24 by unranked Baylor and top-ranked Oregon fell in overtime to No. 14 Stanford, 17-14.
Now the SEC is alive and well.
And how’s this for a possible national title game: Alabama vs. Notre Dame.

I hadn’t thought about it that way but you are right. Don’t worry, Baylor will kick us (Texas Tech) next week. I absolutely despise tuberville and can’t wait for him to leave for an SEC post again.

USC beats Notre Dame.
Ohio State beats that state up north.
The only undefeated team in the country enjoys the conference and national championship games on TV at their local Buffalo Wild Wings.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
ROLL TIDE!
Could ND fall in the rankings this week?
Oregon still has a good chance but need help.
The ducks need USC to beat ND (very possible), and Florida State to beat Florida, and the Ducks are in if they win out.
Florida also has a chance. They need to win against FL ST., and USC to beat ND.
I hope Kansas St has no chance but, if Oregon St. beats Oregon, Fl ST beats FL and USC beats ND, they might get in.
Last two teams with a chance but need A LOT OF HELP are Clemson and Florida State.
And IMO, the two teams playing the best are Texas AM and Stanford, neither of whom will play in the championship.
Let’s see, who did the SEC teams defeat to claw their way back into the top 5?
The likes of Western Carolina, Jacksonville State, Georgia Southern, Alabama A&M, and Sam Houston State.
What a joke! When every other conference is playing their toughest games of the year to EARN their way into the BCS, the SEC is scheduling the powderpuffs of all powderpuffs.
The big bad SEC, playing it safe. Selected not elected.
They should be ashamed and embarrassed
It is a very long shot, but if Notre Dame won, would little Barry invite them to the White House? He HATES the Catholics and doesn’t ND have one of the lawsuits out against him over the contraceptive issue?

Let’s hope you’re right. I’ve thought that before.
The Irish have the damndest luck of any team in history, anywhere.
ROLL TIDE!
I agree. He is notorious for pulling scholarships from high school commits when they get hurt.
UGA’s Richt hasn’t won the big game, but he has tons more integrity than Saban (aka, Satan).
Yes, but they also gave him an honorary degree and let him give the commencement speech in 2009.
Any ambiguous play goes ND’s way, for some reason. Maybe bias on the part of the refs; maybe a pact with Satan.
I don’t know.
And don’t forget 1966!!!
Yes, I can carry a grudge.
ND is way overrated, but so are my Dawgs. We won some close ones to teams we should have smoked.
Alabama got exposed by LSU and then beaten by Texas A&M. They don’t look nearly as formidable as they did earlier in the year. If my Dawgs play perfect, if they come out on fire on both O & D, then they can win. I don’t know one game this year that UGA had both the O and the D and the Special Teams playing their top game at the same time.
We will see what happens, but I am only guardedly hopeful.
Here’s hoping the USC Trojans will rise to the occasion, beat the Domers, and create even more BCS chaos next Saturday.
hmmm, that might get tested in a game with Alabama, seeing how they are coached by him.
Here’s the final nail in the BCS. Their number 1 team now is the worst Of The best.
Notre Dame, the team that excels in only one thing: Blowing its own horn.
It sort of evens out..Stanford could have gotten the call against ND..yet last night, against Oregon got the late TD after the on-field call was reversed..and that was a really tough call..I thought the original no score ruling might stand, because there is supposes to be CLEAR and INDISPUTABLE evidence ( that’s the standard) to overturn the call on the field, and I wasn’t sure if there was. It could have gone ether way..so somehow it evens out..
