The Blue Board

Better to be exposed in a title game against a juggernaut like Bama than be exposed @ NC State.

I disagree, I would much rather lose a game to NC ST and know what my team is than to have false hopes and have your dreams crushed for all the marbles

Yup - I believe so NoVaNoles.

Do you really think if Oregon and Kansas state played that Kansas State would have a chance in hell? It would be over halfway through the second like every other game.

Bama on the other hand would mop the floor with us, imo

Here's a more fun, albeit far less likely hypothetical. Let's say K-State, Oregon, and ND all win out. Let's also say that LSU beats Alabama in Baton Rouge, wins the SEC West, and then redeems themselves against Florida in the SEC championship game. So we'd have the following lineup of teams making their case to be in the championship game:

K-State: 12-0, Big 12 Champion, ranked wins over Oklahoma, WVU, Texas Tech, and Texas
Oregon: 13-0, Pac-12 Champion, ranked wins over USC, Oregon State, and USC again
Notre Dame: 12-0, ranked wins over Michigan, Oklahoma, and USC
LSU: 12-1, SEC Champion, ranked wins over South Carolina, Texas A&M, Alabama, Mississippi State, and Florida, loss to Florida
Florida: 12-1, SEC East winner, ranked wins over LSU, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida State, loss to LSU
Alabama: 11-1, ranked wins over Michigan, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M, loss to LSU

and then other teams just trying to get into the BCS (for the sake of argument, no disrespect intended to Wisconsin, Clemson, Louisville, or any other contenders I left out here)

Michigan: 10-3 or 11-2, B1G Champion
Florida State: 11-2, ACC Champion
Rutgers: between 12-0 and 10-2, Big East Champion
Oregon State: 11-1, win over Wisconsin, loss to Oregon
Oklahoma: 11-1, win over Texas and WVU, loss to Notre Dame
Clemson: 10-2, win over no one, losses to Florida State and South Carolina

Who gets into the NCG, how do the rest of the bowls shake out, and which teams with resumes that would be strong enough just about any other year get relegated to wither around in the Cotton/Capital One/whatever bowl?

edit:
here's what I think would happen in ^^ scenario
NCG: LSU v. Oregon
Rose: Michigan v. Oklahoma
Sugar: Alabama v. Notre Dame
Fiesta: K-State v. Clemson
Orange: Florida State v. Rutgers

and what I think should happen
NCG: LSU v. K-State
Fiesta: Oklahoma v. Florida
Sugar: Notre Dame v. Oregon State
Orange: Florida State v. Rutgers
Rose: Michigan v. Oregon

weirdly, I think I like the "would" matchups better

edit: and maybe best of all, how would you seed this if there were a 4 or 8 team playoff?

We have one more season of the BCS Les.

Playoff starts regular season 2014.

The funny thing about it now is that Oregon and KSU were supposed to play this year, but KSU pulled out. Hence having to schedule Tennessee Tech.

The thing for us is were going to have to beat USC twice, I'm assuming. First on November 3rd at the Coliseum and then the PAC-12 Championship. Cal and Stanford don't really worry me too much, the Civil War could be interesting with the Beavs undefeated right now though.

I never said how KSU would do against OU. I just know that barring some freak plays/injuries it takes a team like KSU to beat Bama. You have to able to run the ball (avg 4 ypc or better) and avoid passing too much (22 PAs per game is the magic number). The only games Bama has lost in the last 4 years, the winning teams average 4 ypc and passed less than 22 times. They also had 0 turnovers. In short you have to beat Bama at their game (win the trenches and don't screw up). Other than SEC teams (UF/LSU), the only team that I see that could do that is KSU. I don't know if KSU has enough speed to keep the Ducks in check, but I do know that they play good fundamental football and have a QB with moxy, thus on a given night they could challenge Bama.

Oregon gets the nod over K St, IMO. If both stay undefeated the computer numbers will balance out in the end, especially if USC beats ND, IMO.

Bill Snyder is known for taking on only cupcakes during the non-conference matchups. I would enjoy seeing Oregon vs KSU to determine whoever will play the SEC champion.

Oregon, beating SC (assuming they don’t lose again) twice should give them the nod over KSU. TBH I would much rather see Oregon play Bama. I’ve always been a fan of Snyder, and Klein is probably my favorite CFB player playing right now but I don’t think Bama would have any problems stopping KSU’s O. It would be a blowout IMO. At least Oregon would have a chance with their speed.
