Don't see any way that's possible...this year.\n\nMan, you Texas fans are getting greedy... try rooting for Rutgers like I do (my alma mater)... be happy you won it all last season, and work on getting back there next season...but with two loses this year (so far), I don't see them getting back.  I don't see Rutgers getting there either,even if they run the table... I'd like to see the Ohio State / Michigan winner against either USC (if they win out) or Florida (if they win out).

louisville in my opinion. they are a very streaky team. they almost lost to syracuse a few weeks ago and they still have pittsburgh and rutgers to play which will be 2 tough games. if Texas doesn't get in then somethings seriously wrong with the bcs. Texas Fight!

They will play in a BCS game for sure and have a legitimate shot at the National title.  They will have to deal with Texas again this year in a non-conference game and Michigan is always tough since they are a rival.  Penn State is a great young team as well and cant be overlooked.

They are on the right track, but the re-building is going to take a little time.  The whole defense needs re-built.\n\nFor more on the Texans and the NFL.  http://factipedia.com/sportsblogs/

There's too much up in the air this year.  For the past couple or three seasons there have been one or two teams that, going into the Fall, looked like the main title contenders.  This year there are too many to count.  I think Auburn has a shot at running the table this year (like they did in '04), but this time they'll get the spot they deserve to play for the championship.  But Notre Dame, Ohio State, Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Florida, Georgia, West Virginia, USC, Florida State, Miami (FL), LSU, and California all have legitimate chances of making it to the top of the heap.  That's what's so great about college football!  Every Game Matters!!!\n\nI love your shout out to the Dawgs (that's who I root for), but I'm a realist.  While they certainly have a shot, there are too many question marks left.  Will Joe T. step up as the QB we hope he can be, or will true freshman Matt Stafford win the job and lead us skyward for the next four years?  Will our young receiving corps all meet their expectations?  Will the defense continue to dominate, even with significant losses in the secondary and linebacker units?  Coach Richt is incredible, but can he truly lead us to our fifth top ten finish in a row?  Let's hope so.......

they wont play texas not to mention the game was won by vince young....i think any team that plays good nickel or dime style defense and can stop the run will beat ohio state especially after illinois almost beat them....i think that if floridia winds up in the national championship they will beat ohio state ebcause of the whole dual qb threat that would strongly confuse ohio states old school d and floridia has a great defense

The Texans are on the verge of being respectable.  One of their problems is that they play in a tough division.  They have to play Indy twice every season.  And depending on how the other teams are doing they also have to contend with Jacksonville and the Titans.\n\nI don't think David Carr is their answer.  Everyone thinks he just needs a good line and then he will blossom.  Well I have a feeling after this season we will see him leaving Houston.  He has been banged up so much that I think he is constantly thinking about the sack.  This will prevent him from being successful.\n\nReggie Bush will not be the answer either.  Houston already has a respectable RB.\n\nThe current rumor (which is probably false) is that Houston is seriously considering trading down.  They don't want to have to take Bush.  The problem is finding a partner. \n\nThe Saints won't trade up.  In fact they are looking to trade down.  The Titans and Jets are probably comfortable where they are. \n\nThe Packers could use Bush, but they are sitting pretty at number 5.  They will find a quality player to fit their many needs at this spot.\n\nSF or Oakland might be interesting positions.  Both of them could use Bush and that is not too far for Houston to fall and still pick up quality.\n\nWhat's going to happen? No one knows for sure, but I think Houston is hoping to come in 2nd in their division and maybe a chance at a Wildcard spot.

I'd call the odds even.  USC hasn't played a decent defense, let alone a top 5 one like Texas.  Only Ohio State has held Texas under 40.\n\nI think Texas needs 35 points to win.  And I think they can get that with little difficulty.  Of course, with Bush and Jarrett, USC is never really out of a game.  but I don't see them keeping up with texas's offense.\n\nTurnovers either way, of course, could blo wit open either way.

This is sure showing that the BCS rankings need some work to get the top colleges to play the national champ game.... and it is showing that a playoff system might be the best way to go... I do not know how that will work (top 8 teams in playoffs perhaps?), but you are right something needs to be done...

I'm sorry, but what a stupid question. They have to get on the field and play the game so of course it's possible. I know you're an Ohio St homer but even you have to admit that Michigan has a pretty good team. I'm just ready for this game to be played so we can get past questions like this from both sides.

As others have said, it doesn't work.  What they do is they take teams that placed in a certain place in a certain conference and put them in a bowl game.  The winner of the MAC used to go to the Motor City Bowl, I don't know if they do anymore though.  Some teams can get at large bids, but they must have at least 6 wins.  There are so many bowl games now that almost anyone can get into one with 6 wins, which is kind of sad.  Then there are the 5 BCS bowls that get the champion from the 5 major BCS conferences (Big 10, Big 12, Big East, ACC, SEC), the top two teams in the BCS polls, and 3 at large teams from the top 10 in the BCS or the top 12 if they are a non major conference team.

I'd say Texas, they do have the best team. It really depends on what you mean as the best.  From what I understood, go for Texas.

its possible since march madness is crazy and u never know what can happen. besides they are a high quality team and hardened in a very tough confrence, so yes it is very possible but unlikely that they will get in the final four

i agree that they're overrated.  they have a particularly weak schedule.  pollsters are giving them credit for improving during the season, but the main problem is that the way the polls work, if you get a top spot early, you hold it unless you lose.  i think texas has a chance to prove that it deserves the ranking in the next few weeks, but i would like to see a deserving team run the table (Florida, Auburn, Arkansas, maybe even USC or Cal) and jump above Texas in the rankings.  www.benfunkelongboards.com  /  nfrmain

TEXAS WILL BE THE CHAMPS

Anything is possible, and a lot depends on the draw.\n\nHowever, it is unlikely because the USA are a long way from being in the top 8 international teams, and will probably struggle to qualify from their group.

Under the current BCS system, it certainly appears USC is on their way for the title. Since the season started with the BCS system, I wouldn't change it now. #1 and #2 should play to determine who the champion is.\n\nThat said, some conferences are weaker than others. The SEC is such a tough and competitive conference, nearly anyone is able to compete with a ranked team. Just look at UGA, Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee, etc that were all ranked in the top 10 to fall to another SEC team. I personally favor a playoff system where any undefeated team and each of the conference champions enter into a win/lose bracket. That way it is "put up or shut up" time and no more controversy about which conferences tend to be more favored.
