The biggest obstacle would be Big Ten Commissioner Delaney, who feels that the +1 concept would diminish the Rose Bowl. I think his IQ is "diminishing " everytime he goes to the bathroom.
LSU vs Ohio St.

I agree. Michigan may not be able to beat Ohio State---or Appalachian State for that matter---but according to ESPN they are 23-5 against the SEC and 7-3 in bowl games. Perhaps they can fill in for the Buckeyes when they play against an SEC opponent. Anyway, I was convinced Tressel was going to beat Les Miles since he is a Michigan man. I honestly can't made head or tails out of OSUs record versus the SEC...it's like Boston and the Babe Ruth curse.
Congrats to both teams on fine two-loss seasons.
Wonder what would have happened if OSU had played Oklahoma, and LSU played USC in round one of the theoretical playoffs.
My guess - the championship game would still have been a blowout, but LSU might have ended up 4th in the rankings after losing to USC.
Congrats to Les Miles and the whole LSU team for a great performance.

Given their recent failures in BCS games, I think a match up off both OSU's would have been more interesting.
really disappointed the AP didn't decide to vote USC number one in their poll for a split national championship. truthfully, i think the trojans would have decimated the tigers!!
Sorry, didn't see any smileys so I took it a different way.
No Blood ,no foul. I would think you would know me by now!
(Enough smilies?)

Actually, Les Miles said he would've used the Stanford game plan had LSU played USC, so the Tigers would've prevailed most likely. Sorry the AP pollsters let you down.
Yep, after the fact it looks like the LSU vs USC would have been a better game with OSU vs OU for the consolation cup. In any case, what a crazy year in college football. (just a few off the top of my head)
- Top Teams all have two losses
- Michigan has arse handed to them by Appalachian State
- Notre Dame goes 3-9 (could have been worse)
- Miami finished 5-7 and doesn't make a bowl appearance
- Nebraska 5-7 (horrific defense)
- Florida State eeks out 7-6 record (loses to Kentucky in bowl)
- Alabama finishes 7-6
- Illinois plays in the Rose Bowl
- Hawaii plays in a New Years Day bowl
- Appalachian State could have beaten a lot of top names this year
The college football landscape is sure a lot more competitive than in years past.

Same could have been said about the Bulldogs.
If the Rose Bowl hadn't gave the Big 10 Illinois team a mercy bid, then we could have seen a truly terrific game between USC and UGa.
The trojans couldn't decimate Stanford. STANFORD! Anytime you lose to a 41 point underdog, you don't deserve to be national champions. To put that loss into perspective, insiders said that had their been a line on the App State - Michigan game, Michigan would have been favored by 21 points.
So true. The Rose bowl alliance served it's purpose LAST century. It's a new game now.
How strong is the SEC?? LSU won the national championship and probably was not even the best team in the conference, Georgia probably was.
Gee, isn't that a blow to the head, if you look at the entire play in real time.
Georgia didn't even do enough this year to win their conference division. They get a little hot at the end by beating worn down teams, are lucky to get an invite to a vacant BCS bowl, and talking heads start saying they should've deserved to be college football champions.
The little Dawggies need to walk the walk in the SEC, then they can talk the talk.
I thought Vegas didn't give lines for FBS vs FCS games. Anywho, that's not as bad as 41.
