"If LSU and USC both win Saturday, somebody is going to get the shaft. I truly believe that either one has a decent shot at beating Oklahoma . . . . "

With all due respect, neither one of these teams has any remote chance of beating the Okies. USC has enough better athletes to match up with the Sooners but OU will beat either one of them.

Hope for LSU to get the Sugar Bowl bid and get blown out by OU--the Pac10 withdraws from the BCS and we get some form of playoff.

The Jets couldn't beat the Colts in the Super Bowl either. Nor could Miami beat Nebraska in the '84 Orange Bowl. NC State and Villanova had no chance against Houston and Georgetown in the NCAA Finals. Alabama couldn't win against a clearly superior Miami team in '92, nor could an inferior Ohio State knock off those same Hurricanes last season. Shall I go on?

"neither one of these teams has any remote chance of beating the Okies..."

Let's see OK beat Alabama 20-13, LSU beat Alabama 24-3.

LSU has the #1 defense against the score, Oklahoma is #3.

Oklahoma has the #1 scoring offense, LSU is #14.

Oklahoma is 12-0, LSU is 11-1.

Sugar Bowl is in Louisiana.

I can't see how you can say LSU has no chance.
