Oh, the possibilities
Lots of scenarios out there, with the most likely being Georgia landing a berth in the Orange Bowl against the ACC Champion (honestly, my least favorite choice compared with both the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl ... but then again this 'least favorite choice' is akin to picking between winning $5 million, $4 million and $3 million, so there's that).
OK, for the national title ...
- Oklahoma beats Missouri
- Pittsburgh beats West Virginia
- Tennessee beats LSU
- Boston College beats Virginia Tech
- UCLA beats Southern Cal
The final option isn't entirely necessary, but would ensure that a two-loss, Pac-10 champion wouldn't jump past the Bulldogs. Of course, this is the most unlikely of all since West Virginia will be favored by 20-plus points.
For the Rose Bowl ...
- Oklahoma beats Missouri
- Tennessee beats LSU
This might keep Illinois at No. 15 in the BCS Standings, meaning the Orange Bowl would look to avoid a Georgia-Virginia Tech rematch and opt for an at-large Arizona State or Kansas team. The Rose Bowl would choose next and, if the Illini are in the Top 14, they might wish to keep the Big 10/Pac-10 match-up preserved. This, then, might mean we slide down to the Fiesta Bowl.
Either way, I think we get to the Rose Bowl is we sell ourselves like LSU did last year (and Texas before them). Whether or not we do that is another story.

I was fighting a sinus infection all thru the holiday, so watched LSU and Arkansas, (never thought I'd live to snort like a hog in my own house) Kentucky so nearly kicking Tennessee's bootay, and even a little of the Missippi, Fla, and Kansas vs Missouri games, (most of that one, actually) and several others, unless they became boring.
The highlight was for sure for sure the Tech game, of course, though I found the overtime between Ky and Tn way more amusing and exciting than the Tech game once it became clear they were really screwing up, how many quarterbacks does Tech have, anyway?
People are always so surprised that I am addicted to the Dogs, but I grew up here in the marching band at Cedar Shoals, and my Dad's had season tickets since 1970.
I am really insulted when people assume that because I no longer have the stamina or tolerance for sun to make the treck to the stadium that I'm not a fan.
Once a dawg, always a dawg, and I honestly think this may be a genetic trait. Look at how it goes from generation to generation...
