I don't normally post, but I am a frequent visitor and reader, but a thought crossed my mind this morning and I was wondering what ya'lls thoughts are. This is only a theory, but also a very likely scenario.
1) If Auburn wins out including the SEC Championship game.
2) If Oregon drops a game, especially that last game against Oregon State. (No, Oregon St. is not that great, but it's a rivalry game, and it's why you play the game.) Any loss this late in the season can be detrimental to any teams chances to make it in to the MNC game, but a loss in the last game of the year really hurts you when you don't play a conference championship game.
3) If LSU wins out. (Looking at their schedule, they should. Arky could pose a problem, but I think they handle them with their defense.)
Coupled with high computer ranking (they were 6 in computer polls last and will definetly move up this week), do you think that the human voters rank LSU high enough to see an Auburn-LSU rematch in the championship in spite of LSU not making it into SEC Championship game?
