A Bama-ND BCS Championship Game?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjUQMs0kVEI

They don't even have the inside track on the Rose Bowl.

At least KSU lost. If ND got a title shot vs. them it would have been criminal.

I will put the money on Bama thank you very much. Don't even care what the spread is.

Suddenly it looks almost possible.  Oregon just lost.

That means Notre Dame will be #1 on Monday.  Holy Jesus god no.

Once the M and MSU games ended, this day couldn't have gone worse. Minnesota, Baylor, and Stanford are dead to me. We now have a choice of ND vs SEC and SEC vs SEC. I hate everything.

But still....Beat Ohio.

This is the worst I've ever felt after a Michigan win. Barkley had better come back next weekend.

So, our 2 of our 3 losses came against #1 and #2.  I'd say we have an excellent shot of making the top 14 and an at-large bid if we can beat a certain unbeaten team next week.

Ah jeeze.  I had a diary halfway done talking about Michigan's BCS chances but I'm so disgusted by the thought of a Notre Dame - Alabama championship game that I don't even want to finish it.  Hmm... the team that looked like we had no business even being on the field with versus the team that we gift-wrapped 6 turnovers to and still only lost to by seven.  That's going to be a close game.

Alabama's going to win another national championship and we're going to have to listen to those SEC jerkoffs for another year.

Or somehow, someway, Notre Dame pulls off the upset and we're going to have to listen to those Notre Dame jerkoffs for another decade.

I honestly don't know which would be worse.

Sucks to be Oregon.  They went from the NC to not even winning the Pac12 North.  

No National Championship game.  No Rose Bowl.

The beauty of it all: if the dipshit administration at OSU had decided to sanction themselves and forego a bowl last year, they probably would be in control of their own destiny to get to the BCS champ game now

So if ND loses does it become an all SEC championship somehow?

we'd be the only thing in between an Ohio-Notre Dame title game

Or we would be looking at a chance for an Ohio-ND national championship game. 

ED: beat to the punch

The SEC vs SEC stuff is not likely to happen.  Possible, but not likely.  First you have to see how far Oregon drops.  One loss and it was in overtime.  Yes there are 6 SEC teams sitting in the top 10, but LSU, Tex A&M and S.Car all have 2 losses so they are out.  Alabama/Georgia will knock one out.  That leaves Florida, who would have to win at FSU with what looks like a backup QB.  Facing an FSU team that depending on where Oregon falls, could be a ND loss away from the national title game.

Could Florida lose to FSU? Could SC lose to Clemson? Georgia loses to Bama? ND loses to USC? Oregon beats a possibly unranked team for the Pac12 championship? There is no Big12 Championship. This could be a huge final week ratings shuffle where the computers make us all go WTF?

If ND were to lose, it would very likely be a rematch of last year's title game LSU-Alabama, unless Florida jumped LSU with a win over FSU.  

However, in this year where ND has gotten every break humanly imaginable, Barkley was injured this week...so they probably tack another win next week with the help of the football gods.

Edit:  Forgot LSU had 2 losses, not 1.  Probably UF or FSU winner vs. Alabama/Georgia winner if ND loses.

If ND plays Bama for the National Championship, they will be playing 18-on-11 ball.  Refs are human, and they would be caught up in the "Everything that's right about college football vs everything that's wrong about college football" hype.  ND has gotten better as the year has progressed.  Remember that they are still growing into the spread.  I thought that they would lose against USC, but I'm not so sure now.  

I detest the BCS and the fact that we are only going to get a four-team playoff next season so much that part of me is hoping for a "cluster" of six one-loss teams, with two making it in and the rest all feeling that they have a legitimate bitch against the system.  

It would be hilarious if ND, Oregon, KSU, Bama, Florida, and Clemson could all finish with one loss, with Bama and Florida playing in the BCS "championship" game.  Then, maybe every other conference in the country might get angry enough to ensure that champions only are allowed into a playoff, and would be smart enough to expand it to eight teams.  

and as much as I hate OSU, I can honestly say i hate ND way worse than OSU.  They are the biggest pack of whiners I've ever heard.  Everyone complains how terrible the officiating is and how they got cheated every year since 1992.  Now that they've lucked themselves into narrow and questionable wins vs. BYU, Stanford, Purdue, Michigan, and Pittsburgh.. All i hear is how hard their schedule is and why aren't they in the talk for national championship?  it's such a snide university that even though Notre Dame is in South Bend..their campus has their own postal code and they consider themselves as Notre Dame, Indiana and disassociate with South Bend.

Be careful what you wish for, time for Bama to roll and ND to disappear back into the depths of irrelevance for another 20 years.

is that we're going to have to listen to those idiots down in Columbus try to claim a portion of the title.

I remember when I first read this thread and agreed with other posters that the timing was too early as both games were at halftime. Now the original poster looks like a genius. Maybe be could get a prediction on the National Championship game itself?

Also, does Michigan beat Ohio next week?
