After this weekend:
Missouri wins
1-West Va
2-Missouri
3-Ohio St.
4-Ga Tech
Kansas wins
1-Kansas
2-West Va
3-Ohio St.
4-Ga Tech
Oklahoma beats either of them in the Big 12 title game and that opens the door for WV/OSU in the title game. There are two things that could come into play. There is a huge wildcard here.....Kentucky. Kentucky plays against Tennessee. If they Wildcats can beat Tennessee, that puts Georgia in the SEC title game. The Bulldogs are currently ranked 7th but three teams ahead of them will have lost (LSU, Missouri/Kansas, Arizona St) so there is a very good chance that they will be #4 (provided they beat Ga Tech today). If they are in the #4 position after this weekend, a win in the SEC title game over LSU could be enough to jump them up over idle Ohio St. If Tennessee beats Kentucky, they go to the SEC title game instead and that would virtually elimate Georgia's shot at the BCS title game.
The other question is how far down does LSU fall? What if they only fall to the fourth spot? That would still leave them very much in the title chase. If they only fall to fourth, they would still have a chance to move up to #3 when Oklahoma beats the Missouri/Kansas winner. If they are #3 and win the SEC title game, could that be enough to vault them over Ohio St? If that title game win is over #4 Georgia, it could be.
