I have a feeling there will be a lot of controversy in the title game selection this year. Texas Tech is more than likely going to have a loss with games against Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, and Baylor, and a possible Big 12 title game left. If they make it through undefeated they deserve a title shot without a doubt. Same goes for Alabama. If they win out the title game should be Texas Tech vs. Alabama. If either team loses and a 1 loss team gets in it should be whoever wins the SEC or Big 12, and since the SEC title game will more than likely have Florida up against #1 Alabama if Florida wins they should be in the title game over a one loss Big 12 winner. Penn State plays no one so they should easily remain undefeated and they have no conference championship but they'll be placed in the title game regardless. USC should not even be mentioned for the title game but since they are the media darlings they will anyway. So my prediction of the title game is.....

Florida vs. Penn State
 
i hope a SEC team vs BIG 12 team....that's the way it should end up. sorry Penn State, your conference is horrible this year.
 
I have a feeling it will be an SEC team, just not sure on which one that will be. Alabama is a BEAST this year, it will not be an easy challenge to topple them and move forward. BUT I hope they do, I really want another title shot. Tebow deserves it. :rock

As for the opponent, could go many ways there... I'll be interested to see where that goes.
 
Bama and Penn State will be 1 and 2.

I see a undefeated JoePa team going to the championship vs B12 Champ
 
If Penn State goes undefeated do you honestly think they'll keep Joe Pa out of the title game in what could be his last year as a coach? No matter how bad the conference is that won't happen.
 
Ah yes! Utah wins again!!! Not a pretty win but better then Texas can say!

9-0

I see it playing out like this in the BCS rankings after the season and before conference title games....

1. Alabama
2. Penn State
3. Oklahoma
4. Florida

Conference titles:

#3 Oklahoma vs. #12 Missouri for the Big 12 title - Oklahoma win

#1 Alabama vs. #4 Florida for the SEC title - Florida win


National title game ....

#2 Florida vs. #1 Penn State - Florida win

Why OU ranked over a Texas team that beat them by 10?

Bama
Penn State
Texas Tech
Florida
Texas
 
The AP poll will be really interesting tomorrow. Penn State was idle so they should drop to #3 and Texas Tech should move up to #2. Here's my prediction for the polls tomorrow...

1. Alabama
2. Texas Tech
3. Penn State
4. Oklahoma
5. Florida
6. Texas
7. USC
8. Oklahoma State
9. Utah
10. Boise State

I don't see Oklahoma passing Tech and Texas in their division. They have to win out and hope Texas loses again. In Texas' remaining schedule they will be double digit favorites and should all be wins. And if OU doesn't improve their defense, Tech will beat OU in Norman and Okie State will beat them in Stoolwater.

Edit: One more thing...Brent Venables needs to be fired immediately. OU hasn't had a good defense since Mike Stoops left. Pathetic. If that team had a SEC defense they would be unbeatable. OU gets too much talent for their defense to be this porous.

Well I think it's safe to say everyone in the Big 12 needs to not only improve on defense, but I'd go so far as to say, actually play defense. If Oklahoma and Texas both win out Oklahoma would still go to the Big 12 title game on tie breaker rules. I agree though, OU could easily lose those games, I just think they'll pull it out.

Thats not the rule....first tiebreak between two teams tied is head to head.

You can't do that though because you'd have Texas Tech, OU, and Texas with one loss in the division. Since Texas beat OU and TT beat Texas and then OU beating TT. It would go to whoever is ranked the highest in the BCS which would be OU if they win out.

I said OU and Texas...2 teams not 3. Here are the tiebreaking rules....

TWO-TEAM TIE

* Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
* Division records of the tied teams within the division.
* Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall divisional record.

THREE-TEAM TIE

* Combined head-to-head record among teams.
* Records of the tied teams within the division.
* Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional or conference) record, and proceeding through the division.

I know, but if those two teams win out that means OU beats Texas Tech which would make it a three way tie, and it would go to the highest ranked BCS standee which would be OU. If OU wins out and Texas wins out, that means OU is playing for the Big 12 title.

Unless Tech loses again. Then Texas would be playing in the Big 12 title game. Like I said 2 team scenario...not 3.

Well I was talking about a three team scenario originally so I'll stick with that one. Right now it's a 1 team scenario until Tech loses though. My point is I think OU will win out, Tech's one loss will be to OU and OU will be in the Big 12 title.
