as i understand it, it is determined by BCS rankings if LSU, Arkansa, and Alabama end up in a three-way tie

which only happens if LSU and Alabama lose. i think.

and even then there's some weird shit about the second place team having to be more than five spots lower than the highest-ranked team . . . or something

Responses:

LSU has to lose and Alabam has to win. Then, Alabama will have beaten Arkansas who will have beaten LSU who will have beaten Alabama. -- nm - David Nov 25, 09:45 5

  - No, because then LSU and Arkansas would likely finish 1/2 in the BCS. - David Nov 25, 09:56 3
    - And even if LSU loses, voters should probably not drop them very far...it's very argualbe they've got the best resume of the 1-loss teams - Will Hunting Nov 25, 10:17 1
      - Right. A 1.000 score on the BCS reflects this. -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:24
    - ...and Virginia Tech loses to Clemson, and Oklahoma State loses to Oklahoma.... Boise St vs. Houston! -- nm - Dano Nov 25, 10:04
