Considering how this season has transpired, I'd be stunned if the final three weekends were marked by harmonious times for the BCS Top 10. As it stands the formula is simple for the current top 5 sans Oregon. Win out.
LSU stands a few tough tests and don't overlook the easiest of their remaining games this weekend in Oxford, Mississippi. A potential match with Georgia looms in the SEC title game in the Bulldogs home state. That will be far from easy with the way Mark Richt has them playing.
Kansas, while undefeated, has still yet to beat a ranked football team which is clearly holding a place in the voters' minds. They'll get there chance against Missouri next week, but Iowa State could be a trap on Saturday. Jayhawks win out they're obviously in, but many other scenarios are likely including a chance all three Big XII schools beat each other.
Oklahoma likely won't trip against Texas Tech this weekend, but we've seen many, many good Sooners teams fall against Oklahoma State. A Big XII Championship game against Missouri or Kansas would follow.
Missouri could be the sleeper in all of this. The Tigers lone loss is to the Sooners and have been just as impressive as the Jayhawks. I predict a win over Kansas, but they could also fall into the trap game Saturday with Kansas State.
As you can see there's a good chance we've got a mess on our hands. Enter West Virginia, Arizona State and Ohio State. Since it's fun to watch SEC fans completely meltdown here's the scenario I'm rooting for:
LSU to Georgia in the SEC Championship. Kansas loses to Missouri. Missouri loses to Kansas State. Kansas beats Oklahoma in Big XII Championship. West Virginia loses to Cincinnati. Arizona State loses to USC. Ohio State beats Michigan.
You try and figure out who the Buckeyes would play in that scenario and how quickly the SEC would bomb the NCAA HQ in Indianapolis. Long shot of all that happening, but is it really?
