Alabama LSU dust has settled. Bama in line for #15?

Alabama LSU dust has settled. Bama in line for #15?

After a thrilling 21-17 win over LSU in Death Valley, Alabama is now firmly attached to a spot in the BCS Title game. The only question remains is who will they face? 

Oregon, who I have openly questioned the toughness of is mowing everyone down in their path. I did not question whether or not Oregon was good, only if their schedule was comparable to an SEC champion or a Big 12 champion. I still do not believe in the Pac-12. The pre-season darling #1 USC has fallen and fallen hard. Oregon'e only other quality wins are against Washington and Arizona. But, in the end you can only play who is on your schedule and that is what Oregon is doing...in a very dominate fashion. 

Kansas State has very little left on their schedule to be upset worthy. Obviously TCU and Texas could give the Wildcats a run for their money. I still expect Kansas State to finish undefeated as well. 

Then there is Notre Dame who survived a major upset from Pitt. Notre Dame took out a good Oklahoma team at Norman. If they can do the same to USC you will hear their names in the BCS title discussion. If they should indeed knock off USC it will be hard to keep the Fighting Irish out of the Title game. 

So there you have it. A very good chance at having 4 undefeated teams at season's end, and only 2 spots in the BCS title game. 

Understand right now that if Alabama goes undefeated that they are in. the SEC 6 year BCS title streak will be given a chance to defend. So who plays the Tide? If I had to guess it would be Notre Dame because of the fact they took down two top programs at home. They also took down a very scrappy Stanford team in overtime. The fact that USC now has 3 losses may hurt Notre Dame though. USC could possibly get another shot at Oregon in the Pac-12 Title game. Honestly I do not see that happening. Kansas State could lose to either Texas or TCU but, I don't think that will happen. If Oregon gets to the Pac-12 Title game unbeaten I don't look for them to lose either. So there you have it. Alabama would play...(Flip a coin) 

We could very well be looking at 3 teams who finish the season undefeated. Actually 4 if you think about Louisville. Could there be a 3-way split for the Title? If Alabama plays Notre Dame in the BCS title game and beats them but, Oregon beats their Rose Bowl opponent and Kansas State wins the Fiesta Bowl, do you split the title 3 ways? Can they? 

I think you would more than likely have 2 teams split the BCS title and one poor team finishing number 2. Sorry Louisville but, you would not be in the discussion. Can we start that 4 team play-off this year instead of 2014??? 

Of course look for all hell to break loose if all of these teams should drop a game between now and selection Sunday. You just have to love College Football don't you?
