Who's Going to The BCS Title Game Undefeated?

Larry BurtonOct 12, 2008

After a huge upset weekend, one thing became apparently clear.  Each team that hopes to contend for the crystal football this year must take care of business each week and not hope for someone else to help them. 

The number of unbeaten teams keep falling with three more down this weekend and with only half the season down, it's sure that others will will join the ranks of the one loss teams. The chance that the BCS will find two worth undefeated teams is growing slimmer all the time.

Most seriously doubt that they'll be another two loss winner like last year, so teams out there left undefeated, beware the upset bug.  If you're a one loss team, you will in all probability only get one mulligan, and it better be against one of the top teams.

When a number five Texas "upsets" a number one Oklahoma while both are unbeaten, is it really an upset?  No.  When Florida gets upset by a three loss Ole Miss, yes, that's an upset. 

And it may cost Florida much consideration should they run the rest of the table and hope for a spot in the big game against other one loss teams.  Every other one loss school should be praying for the team that defeated them to finish as high as possible.

Who are the undefeated teams still left standing and what are the odds?

1. Alabama - Hard to finish the SEC without a blemish

2. Texas - Took care of Oklahoma, but still has a tough schedule and a championship game.

3. Penn State - Good team in a weak conference

4. Texas Tech - The fairy tale will end soon enough

5, BYU - Soft schedule the rest of the way, must play Utah

6. Utah - Soft schedule the rest of the way except for BYU

7. Boise State - Won't survive Fresno State

8. Oklahoma State - Still has to play Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, bye bye

9. Ball State - Easy rest of schedule, but who will take them seriously?

So who has a shot to remain undefeated by season's end and wind up in the big game? 

Penn State seems to be creme of the crop in the Big 10, and with only Ohio State and Michigan State standing in their way, they may have the best shot.

Alabama is the only undefeated team left in the SEC and of the big teams left standing has a great shot.

The winner of the BYU-Utah game has an easy road to go the rest of the schedule.

Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State will leave with only one having a shot at being undefeated.  Texas is the best of the bunch, but has a tough schedule to finish as do the others in the Big 12.

Ball State may well finish undefeated, but elicit little more than a yawn a lower tiered bowl.

So that leaves Alabama and Penn State with the best shot from the big schools, and Utah or Brigham Young and Ball state from the non-BCS schools. 

Should these teams trip up, then it could absolute chaos deciding from the group of one loss teams.  Given the craziness to come under that scenario, I'm pulling for a Bama-Penn State championship.
