After 8 weeks of college football the BCS picture is still cloudy but, it is beginning to shape up. I think it can be assumed that the winner of the SEC (even with 1 loss) will face either the winner of the Pac-12 or Big 12.
By Pac-12 or Big-12 I mean Oregon, USC (if the Trojans win out) Kansas St, or Oklahoma. Oregon will likely have to play USC twice this season which could actually eliminate both teams from the title game picture. If Oregon beats USC next weekend and loses late in the Pac-12 title game against USC, the Ducks could be leapfrogged by a 1 loss Big-12 Champ...or possibly a dark horse like Louisville. But, I highly doubt that.
The Big-12 seems to have come down to a 2 team race. Kansas St and Oklahoma. If Kansas St. wins out they win the Big-12 by virtue of beating Oklahoma back in September.
The SEC comes down to Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi State, and LSU. Georgia and Mississippi State could both be knocked out of the discussion later today though. Next week LSU could be knocked out by Alabama which would likely set up a SEC title game between an undefeated Alabama vs an undefeated Florida. Gee, where have we seen that match-up before? But, it is the SEC...nothing comes easy or happens the way it is supposed to.
