Sorry you cannot lose to Texas Tech at home and "deserve" to play in the BCS title game. A Texas Tech team who promptly went out the following week and got drilled at home by Iowa State 41-7.
I hope Arkansas beats LSU and puts some chaos into the BCS system. Anything to prompt a playoff system. Ca you imagine how much behind the scenes shenanigans would take place if Bama, LSU & Arkansas all finished with the same record? That in itself would be entertaining.
Yes, LSU shoulld go even if they should lose to Arkansas. Why ? Well then you would have the stat where there are 3 SEC teams that have all lost only 1 game as LSU has beaten Bama, Bama has beaten Arkansas and Arkansas has beaten LSU. Since everyone of the 3 can say they beat one of the others but not both of them, I think you have to go to the tougher schedule and LSU wins out easily as take a look at Arkansas pre-season schedule of 1-9 Missouri State, 1-9 Mexico and 2-7 Troy. I assume Oregon will win out and LSU's win over a 12-1 Oregon should propel them into the Title game.
Well you left out that LSU also played powerhouses Northwestern State & Western Kentucky. Additionally, Arkansas has to play LSU & Bama on the road which I think should account for something. Road wins in the SEC should matter more than home wins. Lastly, LSU did have a tougher non-conf sched but LSU missed out on Georgia & South Carolina while Arkansas beat a South Carolina team that could finish 10-2. It would be a tough call but I hate a system where you beat a team with the same record as you in their house on the last week of the season and that team plays for the title and you don't. Doesn't seem legit.
You seem be overlooking the possibily that LSU will be playing Georgia as in the case of a 3 way tie, I believe the call goes to the team with the highest BCS ranking which most likely would still be LSU over Arkansas. Tough call and I'm not positive of how it all will play out. Lots of football still to be played but I like Oregon as they seem to be improving with almost every game. If nobody beats Oklahoma State however, We are speculating for nothing. They wil go for sure as they really only have Oklahoma left. that game was listed as a pick Em at the Las Vegas Hilton just a few days ago. Okl State's lopsided victory yesterday just might put them back into a slight favorite in that game.
