I'll refer to this as "best case scenario"

Only if auburn jumps them today
Then mizzou wins sec champ next week and jumps them then too!

The problem with no SEC team in the National Championship is that then the SEC bobos will just say they didn't win because they beat each other.

FSU has SEC talent. it's the ohio state defense that doesn't. to me, i think a few SEC teams are better than ohio state. just my opinion.

Re: BCS 2013-14: This space for rent

fast forward to next year. at the moment, four team playoff could look like:

1. FSU vs. 4. Alabama
2. Ohio State vs. 3. Missouri/Auburn winner

what's weird is that advancing to and playing in the SEC title game would end up hurting the loser, while Alabama would benefit by not being in it. At the same time, Alabama's lone loss would be a better loss than Auburn losing at LSU or Mizzou losing at home to South Carolina.

That's what we say in the Pac-12 every year!

I'm willing to live with that 'problem'.

And with the advantage OSU currently has, with a win over a top 10 MSU, they're in.

The Big Ten hasn't been very good this year. Additionally, neither has the SEC. The preseason bias in the polls has helped them immensely in dominating the rankings; for example, Texas AM is #24 with a horrific defense and zero top 25 wins; their best win is against a crappy Ole Miss team. South Carolina lost to a horrible Tennesee team. Missouri has 1 top 25 win. Florida started the year at #10 for Pete's sake!; they're God awful.(yes I know they had injuries, but they still had a very anemic offense prior.) Alabama is great. Auburn is good as well, and Missouri looks good too. LSU is over rated, and so is South Carolina. The SEC has a few very good teams, but depth wise, they're not nearly as strong as recent years.

OSU better get in if they win. If not, college football has completely turned into a joke.

I remember Antonio Cromartie did against the Vikings one year. I want to say it was the game where people finally started to notice how good Adrian was...

Isn't that the one that holds the NFL record for longest scoring play? 109 yards?

Furthermore, Auburn's only OOC game this year against a power conference opponent was pretty mediocre. They waddled past a Washington State that went 4-5 in the Pac 12, in their own building by a touchdown. I know a lot can change in the course of a year, but that result certainly doesn't have me thinking these SEC West champs deserve a shot over Ohio State.

Exactly. It's a crucial year for the Big Ten in the bowls. While it hasn't had a great year, neither has the SEC or Big 12. It looks like a good opportunity to start becoming relevant again.

Stop using actual performance this year as a measuring stick. You're supposed to factor in what the conference has done as far as seven years ago, because in any sport what you did in previous seasons impacts the current season, and in a sport where players only have four years of eligibility going back as far as seven years is even more relevant.

Also the ACC fans are apparently bragging because they have the highest percentage of bowl eligible teams. I think it's cute when conferences with 8 conference games do that.

Actually, it's impressive Syracuse got to a bowl. Projected 4-8 with a new coach and new QB and got it done. Sure, you may laugh about being happy my team is 6-6, but there were zero expectations. Very pleased so far with SU's progress.

Some more fun game playing.

If Missouri wins, does that move Alabama up to 3? Better yet, if Osu or fsu lose, does Alabama play the winner in the NC game over mizzu? Thus making conference championships moot?
