I wouldn't mind seeing it, but I'm not sure it happens.

I think Tennessee is Capitol One or Outback bound.

Also, if Oklahoma loses the Big12 Championship, they will be in the Cotton.

3 SEC teams in the Top 8, 5 in the Top 17. Not too shabby for a conference that had a "falloff" this year...

The mighty PAC-10 with 3, Big-10 with 3, Big 12 with 4.

We certainly won't make capital one.

We certainly won't make capital one.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Florida beats Arky, Arky falls to Cotton.

Auburn played Wisconsin in the Capitol One last year and the game brought almost 20,000 less fans than previous years.

LSU and Arkansas would get the nod over us.

 

[OrangeSquare]

LSU is going BCS.

Arkansas will fall to Cotton.

 

[tvolsfan]

I think Capital One has to take one of the teams tied for second overall.

 

[tvolsfan]

Could be wrong though.

 

[rockydoc]

I think we will likely get two teams in the BCS, LSU and the winner of Florida/Arkansas.

 

[OrangeSquare]

I think Capital One has to take one of the teams tied for second overall.

No, they don't HAVE to take anyone.

They get second choice, that's it. If the team they chooses, wants to go there, it's a done deal.

 

[tvolsfan]

No, they don't HAVE to take anyone.

Ok, I get it. Hate to say I think Wisconsin would run over us.

also an Arkansas loss puts LSU in second in the SEC and they are most likely goin to a BCS. therefore, the Cap One can pick from anyone.

They've played noone..... losing to the only ranked team they played against. That is why Wisconsin is not getting any love in the BCS regarding a chance to play in the title game.

Wow, that is a pretty weak schedule. Although I do share the concern with an earlier poster about the match up of their rush versus our run D...
