How North Carolina Can Win the BCS Championship

The odds are that this will not happen, but I’m sure crazier things have happened. First off, North Carolina must win out. They have to beat Maryland, North Carolina State, Duke, and win the ACC championship, which will probably be against Florida State. They will have a record of 11-2.

If they do this, they will have to have a lot of help, but it is possible. Fifteen teams are ahead of UNC in the BCS. The records below are what they would be if these teams lose every game they possibly can.

BCS Standings

1. Alabama (13-0) Win against Mississippi State, Auburn, and Florida in SEC   Championship.

2. Texas Tech (10-3) Lose to Oklahoma State, Baylor, and Missouri in Big 12 Championship.

3. Texas (9-3) Lose to Kansas and Texas A&M.

4. Florida (8-5) Lose to South Carolina, Citadel, and Florida State.

5. Oklahoma (9-2) Lose to Oklahoma State.

6. USC (8-4) Lose to Stanford, Notre Dame, and UCLA. Double Bonus Points for North Carolina beating Notre Dame earlier this season.

7. Utah (10-2) Lose to San Diego State and BYU.

8. Penn State (9-3) Lose to Indiana and Michigan State.

9. Boise State (9-3) Lose to Idaho, Nevada, and Fresno State.

10. Ohio State (8-4) Lose to Illinois and Michigan.

11. TCU (9-3) Lose to Air Force.

12. Missouri (9-4) Lose to Iowa State and Kansas. Win in Big 12 Championship against Texas Tech.

13. Oklahoma State (9-3) Lose to Colorado. Win against Oklahoma.

14. Ball State (9-4) Lose to Miami (OH), Central Michigan, Western Michigan, and Akron in MAC Championship.

15. Michigan State (10-2) Win against Penn State.

So if all this happens and UNC wins out, then it is possible that they could be in the BCS Championship. They should at least be in the discussion. Then they will go to Miami and destroy the Crimson Tide. At least that’s how it looks in my mind.
