How could the go to the MNC? I think LSU's strength of schedule would bump them over USC.
nah LSU's SOS is taking big hits by playing Appalachian State and their loss coming from Tennessee...
LSU gets hurt by common opponent comparison, too:
USC 70 - Arkansas 0
LSU 19 - Arkansas 17
USC 38 - Arizona State 28
LSU 35 - Arizona State 31
Good question -- but I think the 30+ win streak will hold USC's position as #2, but only if they beat Texas.
I am not convinced beating Texas on Jan 4 will be enough to overcome a loss to UCLA.
I suspect the reason they have the BCS is so we can have discussions like this. There was a GREAT article the other day in the form of a mythical letter to the NCAA pointing out every other college sport, including Football below Div IA, has a playoff.
LSU`s strength of schedule?
Something happen to make North Texas St. and App. St. national powers? Are they even in 1-A colledge football?
LSU got beat by Tenn. this year, a very bad Tenn.
