The Blue Board

Or did they? Those are the breaks sometimes, and for Stanford the questionable calls at the end
of regulation and the denial of Taylor's TD to force a 2nd OT vs the Irish might have cost the Cardinal
a spot in the BCS title game, giving that spot to Notre Dame. (Another job well done by the Pac12 refs).

I'm not posting this to discredit ND or their season, rather to discuss the possibilities of what might
have happened IF -

Stanford had left South Bend with a victory instead of a controversial defeat. There would be no undefeated teams in the BCS hunt right now. What scenario do you guys think would have happened if this form of BCS chaos had been unleashed?

Is it -

Scenario #1 - With a win over UCLA in the Pac12 CCG, Stanford would play the Bama/Georgia winner in the BCS title game. (Alabama/Georgia vs Stanford)

#2 - Stanford's win over ND would have cleared the way for another All-SEC title game between Florida and the Bama/Georgia winner. (Florida vs Alabama/Georgia)

#3 - In a repeat of 2011, when Alabama lost at home by 3 in OT to LSU, and didn't play in the SEC CCG, but was still picked for the BCS MNCG, 1 loss Oregon is selected for the BCS MNCG and given a chance to avenge their 3 pt OT home loss to Stanford in an SEC like All Pac12 BCS Title game. (Stanford vs Oregon)

#4 - They reward the 2 teams with the best SOS and resume and match Stanford vs Florida in the BCS title game.
(Florida vs Stanford)

My guess is scenario #2 would have happened, although scenarios #1 and #4 would have been more right IMO.
The world would have to end before we would ever see scenario #3 happen.
