It won't happen. USC is going to win their last two and that will get them the nod over Michigan.

In my opinion, if you don't win your conference you shouldn't be playing for a national championship. Tough for Michigan, but that's the way it should be.

Good to see another Auburn fan on here, Russ. I felt the same way, this team was over-rated by the media because of Kenny Irons and what happened in 2004. We were an above average team that had to fight and scrape to get everything we got. Looking back, the wins over LSU and Florida are pretty amazing considering. The 2004 Auburn team would have beaten this team by 3-4 touchdowns.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

LSU destroying Notre Dame isn't going to make people happy that Notre Dame got picked over Auburn and Wisconsin. If anything, it could hurt ND the next time talks come up about ND's role in the entire system.

ND didn't really get picked over Auburn or Wisconsin. There's a clause that only two teams from each conference can go to a BCS game, so Auburn and Wisconsin were eliminated by the fact that they were third choice in each conference.

As an Auburn fan, I hate that we "disappointed" this year at 10-2. However, we did beat #2 and #4 in the final BCS standings, so that stands for something.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

BUT, even if that rule didn't exist, I'd bet money that ND would still get in over Auburn and Wisconsin just do to interest and fan support.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
