1) LSU Tigers (10-0, 6-0) - With Boise State and Stanford losing last night, the calls are growing louder for a BCS Championship rematch: Either LSU-Alabama or LSU-Oregon. I'm opposed to this, but we're fast running out of other options. The most likely is to revert to the idea that the winner of Oklahoma-Oklahoma State gets the other spot in the championship game, but if the Sooners win out, then we get the unpalatable notion of having a team that lost to 5-5 Texas Tech in the NC game.
2) Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-0, 7-0) - Hopefully, OK-State will end the season undefeated, and save us the trouble of picking from a host of one-loss teams to play LSU. When I turned on the TV yesterday morning, the Cowboys were already up on Texas Tech - that 5-5 team that beat Oklahoma - 42-0... in the second quarter. They went on to win 66-6, with Brandon Weeden going 31 for 37 for 423 yards and 5 TDs. At what point are the Cowboys considered the favorites against Oklahoma?
3) Oregon Ducks (9-1, 7-0) - I've gotten most of my predictions wrong this season (See: Boise State will play for a championship, or Alabama will beat LSU.) But I'm glad that I went against the tide and picked my Ducks to win this game. Stanford's defense had shown weaknesses against USC, Washington, and Oregon State, and last night Oregon was able to take advantage, averaging 5.0 yards per rush and LaMichael James run for 146 yards and 3 touchdowns. The real difference, though, was Oregon's
