2009 Regular season record prediction poll - Florida Gators
No, none of them would end up going. Now that the BCS is run by people, they'd never let it happen.
I don't know. In that scenario, (a team out of the title hunt with 2 losses or so beating an undefeated #1 team) the SEC might get enough media respect to where they could still get in.
Let's say UF lost a barnburner in the conference title game to a pretty highly ranked team that has too many losses to get into the title game, and you've got something like:
11-1 USC
11-1 Ohio State
12-1 Oklahoma or Texas, won the conference title
Who goes? I think the Big XII winner is probably a given unless the loss is super late (IE Texas last year). But are you going to put USC or Ohio State with their weak conference schedules in ahead of a Florida team that went 12-1 in SEC play? The computers are going to have the SEC team very, very high still, either #1, or #2 behind the Big XII team. The humans would have to drop the SEC team to 4 or 5 to keep them out, and I just don't see them doing that. The SEC gets plenty of respcet from the media now, to the point of being overrated nowadays.
I think you're looking at Texas vs. Florida in DKR Memorial Stadium West at Pasadena, where the underdog Horns shock the world once again. :hihi:
