Final week scenarios
Posted: Sun Dec 01, 2013 1:52 pm
I will preface this by stating that Bama is out of it, as FSU will not lose to Duke.
But there is going to be a bunch of "what ifs" all week about the 1 loss SEC team jumping OSU. If MSU beats OSU, then its a given an SEC team is in the BCS game. A OSU win, what happens? I think they get it just based on the voters rewarding an undefeated team.
Perhaps the most interesting thing is to remember this time next year what the scenario will be. Right now, if the situation is the same, 2 SEC teams are a lock for the 4 team playoff. So for as much joy as those in the Big 10 (and the rest of conferences for that matter) might have this year for "breaking" the SEC streak of NCs, it won't last long. Bama won't fall from the #4 spot (small moral victory here
) Next year it could be 2 other SEC teams. Odds will always be in SEC's favor.
