Assuming everyone in the Top 5-6 wins out and OU beats OSU, who plays for the championship?

Alabama? Already lost to LSU...at home.
Oregon? See Alabama (except they got hammered).
OU? Lost to Texas Tech who has been outscored 159-33 since beating OU.
Arkansas? Lost to Bama, but at least the championship wouldn't be a rematch.

I think I might favor an LSU/Arkansas match-up in this scenario. I just feel as though a rematch with either Bama or Oregon is unfair to LSU because it's tough to beat a team twice...especially a good team. At the same time, I think Alabama is the 2nd best team in the nation.

By the way, I don't have a dog in the fight.

    A better Oregon team lost to Auburn last year and then got trounced by LSU week 1. Alabama was very close to beating LSU but fell just short thanks to their crackhead kicker. I think Alabama is clearly the best one loss team in the country. Don't forget that anything can happen in the SEC too. The best teams in the country have a tendency to beat each other at the end of the year, thereby eliminating each other from national championship conversations. LSU could easily slip up and lose to Georgia in the SEC championshp and Auburn always plays their best at the Iron Bowl, opening the door for lesser teams to have a shot. In my mind the national championship game was a few weeks ago, and LSU squeeked by for the win.

    I knew that. Both in the SEC West, duh.

    I guess I hope LSU and OSU either stay undefeated or they both lose to make it a complete mess.

    I wouldn't mind seeing OSU lose, but I don't think we'd get an Alabama/LSU rematch. I think Oregon or OU would jump Alabama in the BCS poll. I'm on the fence with LSU. I want the Razorbacks to win out, but I it's a long shot if enough teams ahead of them in the polls would lose so they could make it to #1 or #2. No matter what happens I want to see an SEC team in the title game. IMO it is still the toughest conference in the country and deserves to have a "dog in that fight."
