Let us say that LSU plays Arkansas in the SEC title game and loses, Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State and Oregon wins out. One loss teams that may matter will probably be Oregon, LSU, Arkansas, Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Michigan State, Stanford and Clemson. (screw Virginia Tech, Houston and Cupcake State) So who plays in the NC game? Any why? I would eliminate teams that lost to any other team on the list in a head to head game (bye bye Oregon, Stanford, Alabama, LSU and Oklahoma State). That makes me think that Arkansas would play Oklahoma in the NC game. Wouldn’t that be a strange turn of events?
I don't think Arkansas can play them in the SEC title game since there in the same division, but they do play in two weeks. It would be interesting to see LSU lose as I wonder who would get to the play in the conference championship game? Georgia is pretty much a given in the SEC west as they have no one left on their schedule that will knock them off. In the SEC east you'd have three teams with 1 conference loss and each have a tiebreaker against each other. LSU would be 7-1 in conference and the tiebreaker of Alabama Alabama would be 7-1 in conference and have the tiebreaker against Arkansas Arkansas would be 7-1 in conference and would have the tiebreaker against LSU. So who goes in that situation?
Even if Arkansas beats LSU, and LSU/Bama/Arky end up with one conference loss, the highest ranked BCS team would get to the SEC title game. I think LSU's two OOC wins against Oregon and WVU would be enough to keep them up in the BCS rankings, unless Arky blows them out. If that's the case, than I'm guessing Bama would still stay ahead of Arky, but, yeah, that would be awesome, and I agree with Targus, because it makes my head hurt!
IIRC, the SEC tiebreak is actually that they use BCS rankings to break the three-way tie, but only for the purpose of dropping the lowest team, then they use head-to-head to decide between the top two. Personally, using BP's scenario, I would want to eliminate any team that didn't win their conference, so it should come down to a choice between Oregon, Oklahoma, and the SEC champ. I still say we'd be out.
