22 Scenarios

With BYU going into its bye week, we will now look at the bigger picture. A BCS game is a lock if the Cougars go undefeated, but getting to the BCS title game will take extra help.
 
Last year, it might have happened (since LSU got in with 2 losses) and it felt like the No.1 and No. 2 teams in the country got upset almost every weekend.  I doubt this will happen, but here's to wishful thinking.
 
Here are 22 Scenarios to help BYU get an invitation to the BCS title game.
 
1. No. 2 Oklahoma loses to TCU this weekend.    
2. Then Oklahoma wins out, but then loses in the Big 12 title game to Missouri    
3. No. 1 USC needs to lose at Oregon State this weekend.    
4. No. 1 USC then needs to win the rest of their games, but lose to UCLA    
5. No. 3 Georgia needs to lose at LSU and at Auburn    
6. No. 4 Florida loses at Georgia, then in the SEC title game. A 3rd loss would help.    
7. No. 5 LSU loses at Florida and at South Carolina in back to back weeks.    
8. No. 6 Missouri beat No. 7 Texas, and beats Oklahoma in the Big 12 title game    
9. No. 7 Texas loses to Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas   
10. No. 8 Alabama loses at Georgia, at LSU and at Tennessee   
11. No. 9 Wisconsin loses at Michigan and Ohio State, but beats Penn State   
12. No. 10 Texas Tech loses at Kansas State, Texas A&M and Texas   
13. No. 12 Penn State loses to Illinois and Wisconsin, but beats Ohio State   
14. No. 14 Ohio State loses to Wisconsin and Michigan   
15. No. 13 South Florida loses at North Carolina State and at West Virginia   
16. No. 15 Auburn loses at West Virginia and at Alabama   
17. No. 16 Wake Forest beats Clemson, but loses at Maryland and at Miami   
18. No. 17 Utah goes undefeated, but loses November 22 against BYU   
19. No. 19 Boise State loses to Fresno State   
20. No. 21 Vanderbilt goes back to being Vanderbilt   
21. No. 11 BYU shuts out a few more teams and ends the season on 22 game win-streak   
22. Basically, every BCS team needs at least two losses like last year, and we face Missouri in the National Title Game and win in an offensive shootout. 
 
This is why I hate college football. Wild Cards do not even have a shot to get to the championship game like the New York Giants did last year in the NFL. It is reason No. 25 why pro football is better than the greedy college bowl championship series system.
