Do you want another nightmare scenario for the BcS mess? Well it could happen. It looks like the winner of the SEC is on a collision course with Texas, but stranger things have happened.
Here is how it could play out.
Alabama wraps up its season with Auburn next week, The Iron Bowl. This is a rivalry game. Auburn, while not great, is not bad either. Rivalry games can get really strange sometimes. What if the War Eagle puts it all together and takes out the Crimson Tide?
Florida plays Florida State for the Florida state title. Christian Ponder is a capable quarterback, and Florida’s offense has been suspect from time to time. What if?
Then, there is Texas. The Longhorns play Texas A&M on Thanksgiving Day. This is a red-hot Aggie team, and they are dangerous. And, it’s a rivalry game. If the Longhorns win there, they have to beat Nebraska in the Big XII title game. Seems like I remember an upset a few years ago by Texas against the better Nebraska team. Just saying.
So, Texas loses one or both of it’s remaining games. Florida or Alabama loses one of its games and then beats the other undefeated team in the SEC title game. TCU runs rough shot over New Mexico in its final game this year at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth and finishes 12-0. What will happen?
Texas, Alabama and Florida all receive a loss in the final two weeks. TCU is undefeated. A nightmare. Then those BCSers will have to make a real decision about if they put the Horned Frogs in the National Championship Game. And, who would play them? Boise State? Interesting.
I would love to see this happen just to see the mass chaos that would result. Either way, TCU will play in a BCS game, but they might, somehow, slide into the National Title game.
And if they did, and played Texas? Well, it would be irony if TCU won via a Antioine Hicks touchdown pass reception.
