Yea, it is not impossible.. The BCS unlike the NDL BCS, does not penalize teams for losses anymore directly in their BCS score.

So while it is not likely, it is not impossible.. where in the NDL or previous BCS ratings of I believe 2 to 3 years ago, there was almost no chance for a 1 loss team to pass a unbeaten team. Now the 1 loss team only needs to be ranked with in spot of the unbeaten team, and be ranked above them in the computers by a couple of spots.

Aside from all that.. I hate Stanford.

Not sure if already posted, but what the heck:

You know where I got this from, so I won't even bother linking. If you don't, then you don't deserve to watch college football.

1. Alabama

What Thursday night means: It doesn’t mean too much, but it’s a positive that Oregon is now tagged with a loss. At the end of the day, no matter how it happens, if it comes down to a slew of one-loss teams, the SEC champion will get into the BCS championship over everyone else. The more teams that fall by the wayside, the more margin for error there is for Alabama if it loses to LSU or Auburn.
What now?: Style points don’t matter. Alabama will play in the BCS championship as long as it wins out. There’s no chance whatsoever of being pushed out of the No. 1 ranking no matter what Florida State does.

2. Florida State

What Thursday night means: And there you go, Seminoles. Being No. 2 in the BCS standings didn’t mean anything as long as Oregon was ranked second in both the Coaches’ and Harris polls. That’s not going to be a problem on Sunday. The computers are already in love with FSU, and Stanford provided just the break needed to be cemented into the top two. There might be some screaming and yelling about other teams pushing for the coveted second spot, but it doesn’t matter.
What now?: Beat Wake Forest, beat Syracuse, beat Idaho, beat Florida, win the ACC championship, go to Pasadena. It’s now that simple. And by the way, what time is the Heisman Trophy presentation? What time can you get here, Mr. Winston?

3. Oregon

What Thursday night means: The Ducks now need lots and LOTS of help to have any chance of getting into the BCS championship. If it had been a close loss to Stanford like last year, things would be different, but being manhandled and shoved around like it was – forget about the final score - will sour anyone and everyone thinking that this could and should be a team in the mix for the national title. However …
What now?: Remember, Oregon was still in the mix at the end of last season despite the loss to the Cardinal. Step One in the rehabilitation of the season is to obliterate the same Utah team that beat Stanford. Steps Two and Three involve blowouts over Arizona and Oregon State to plant the seed that the loss to Stanford came on a bad night. If the Cardinal loses at USC (possible) or to Cal (not possible) or Notre Dame (not likely), it’s game On again depending on what Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State and Baylor do the rest of the way.

4. Ohio State

What Thursday night means: That’s big break No. 1 on what needs to be a special November. Oregon losing to Stanford was a huge, huge part of the equation for a Buckeye team that now needs either Alabama or Florida State to lose. Baylor’s blowout isn’t a plus, but Ohio State gets into the BCS championship over the Bears.
What now?: Nothing matters unless the Tide or Seminoles lose. The computers aren’t going to help the cause in the BCS standings, and there won’t be any movement in the top two of the human polls the rest of the way as long as there aren’t any slips. Style points won’t count – Ohio State needs help or it’ll be a great-looking No. 3.

5. Stanford

What Thursday night means: The national championship is on the table, but it’ll take plenty of help and a few breaks considering being the best of the one-loss teams won’t matter if there’s a one-loss SEC champion and Florida State and/or Baylor finishes unbeaten. For right now, though, whatever. Stanford has the inside track to the Pac-12 championship and the Rose Bowl, at worst.
What now?: “But they lost to Utah.” Get ready to hear that over and over and over again. However, the Cardinal will jump past Oregon in the standings on the way to No. 4 behind Alabama – assuming a Tide win over LSU – Florida State and Ohio State. However, Baylor could make it close. Stanford is fifth in both human polls and will move up in the computer rankings after beating the No. 3 team, but if two of the top three teams lose, at the end of the day, Baylor will be voted higher by the humans if it wins out. The Cardinal might have a beef, but they lost to Utah.

6. Baylor

What Thursday night means: And now it’s on. Baylor’s blowout over Oklahoma will get the discussion going about how worthy the team really is on a national scale. It might have taken a little while to warm up, but the play of the defense, and not just the high-octane offense, against the No. 10 team in the country will finally start to open up some eyes.
What now?: It’s now time to take the Bears seriously. No matter what happens in the BCS standings over the next few weeks, there’s no way, no how a one-loss Stanford – or a one-loss anyone – gets into the BCS championship over the undefeated Big 12 champ. There’s still a long, long way to go, and the rest of the schedule is tough, but that could be a plus. Compared to what Florida State and Ohio State have to do, the Baylor finishing kick is much tougher and would be far more impressive to get through unscathed. Even so, the Bears are no better than Fiesta Bowl-bound without losses from two of the top three BCS conference unbeatens.

7. Clemson

What Thursday night means: It puts some interesting scenarios out there to dream about. Stanford could certainly lose again, Baylor has some tough games to play, and Ohio State is no lock against Michigan or a Michigan State in the Big Ten championship, it would take a miracle to get into the BCS championship. Florida State would have to lose twice, and it would be a big help if the SEC champion had two losses.
What now?: Nothing really changes. Clemson is destined for an at-large BCS game by winning out and going 11-1.

8. Missouri

What Thursday night means: This helps. A one-loss SEC champion would get the nod in the BCS championship picture over any other one-loss conference champion, and now Oregon is out of the way. Stanford lost to Utah while Mizzou lost in overtime to South Carolina – that’s a win for the Tigers. The more unbeaten BCS conference teams that fall, the better for the SEC.
What now?: Don’t worry about the BCS standings. If Missouri runs the table and finishes 11-1, that will mean it will have beaten Ole Miss, Texas A&M, and, most likely, Alabama to close things out. Mizzou leapfrogs over all the other one-loss teams if that happens.

9. Auburn

What Thursday night means: Shhhhhhhh. It’s a bit far-fetched, but Auburn is still alive for the whole ball of wax. The Tigers need losses from two of the four non-BCS unbeatens – Oregon, Ohio State, Florida State and Baylor – and it got the first one. Like Missouri, if all things are equal, Auburn is playing for the national title by winning out and going 12-1.
What now?: This is nowhere near the team that won the 2010 national championship, but if Auburn can beat Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and then win the SEC championship, it’ll rocket up the charts and could shock the world – but again, it needs outside help.

10. Oklahoma

What Thursday night means: It was disastrous in every way. OU had its chances early to score touchdowns, and it settled for field goal attempts – that turned out to be a problem. Baylor might be that good, but on a national stage, Oklahoma didn’t look like it was ready for primetime. Kansas State gave the Bears a better game.
What now?: The Big 12 championship dreams are all but obliterated. Bob Stoops might still be a revered god around Oklahoma, but after losing to Texas and getting blown out by Baylor, the pressure might start to be on soon despite the perennial success. At some point, Sooner fans are going to want national title runs again, and getting blown away by Baylor – it just sounds bad to get blown out by Baylor – isn’t going to sit well.

This is setting up perfectly.

FSU Runs the table, gets to the ACC championship game and Miami crushes their hopes and dreams.

Then I woke up this morning and realized it was all a dream...

Don't think it would make much of a difference, but Vandy pulling out of that game with the Buckeyes hurts a bit. Still would have been better to get that win than against Florida A&M.

I thought this was just a horrible call last night. The hit was shoulder to shoulder and the WR was not defenseless, he lowered his shoulder and head right before contact, bracing for the hit. Any big hit in the secondary is getting called now regardless of the hit, rule, etc. what a joke.

I've seen several like that this year. But did anyone really think it wasn't going to be like this?

I just saw that pic mike posted and was coming in here to post it.

Again, this is what you wanted.
