Oh, the possibilities
With all the upsets, we may have a silly matchup of West Virginia and Missouri (ridiculous). They have played nobody and come from weak conferences. We have been writing about this all year long.
Personally, I believe Oklahoma will knock off the Tigers and, believe it or not, the Buckeyes will qualify (again) for the title game. As an SC guy, we would rather face off against the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl. Now, if Mizzou falters, we lose Ohio State but we may gain Georgia. It would be projected to be SC (maybe #6 by then) against #3 Georgia in the Rose Bowl. This was projected by the LA Times today.
If Mizzou holds on against the Sooners, then it is Trojans/Buckeyes.
Disaster looms if both Mizzou and West Virginia falter. Then, it would be Buckeyes/Dawgs in the title game. We would be left holding the bag. As Georgia does not qualify for the Sugar Bowl (since they did not win the SEC), we could not get a matchup against LSU either as they are set to either: (a) win the SEC and go to the Sugar Bowl; or, (2) lose to Tennessee in said SEC title game and, with 3 losses, go to some silly bowl game (certainly not the Rose Bowl game against SC.
By the way, I am assuming we beat the Bruins. I am not tempting fate here. UCLA is always a formidable foe in this cross-town rivalry, however, they are so banged up, we should handle them easily.
All the bowls are jockeying for position. Buckeyes would be best and highest ranked. Georgia next. After that, disaster....
