Here is a very plausible outcome to the college football season...
1. Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame each lose one of their upcoming games (including conference championships). When is the last time any of them had a perfect regular season?
2. LSU runs the table and finishes 13 - 1 (having beaten a one-loss Florida team in the SEC championship game) and is #1 in the BCS.
3. Alabama wins the remainder of its games except for a close loss to LSU and finishes 12 - 1 (only loss being to #1 LSU away in Tiger Stadium at night).
4. LSU (#1) vs Alabama (#2) in the BCS Championship Game!
p.s. I predicted this same scenario directly following Alabama's loss to LSU last year and everyone called me crazy...

The two mega-coaches from the SEC (Les Miles and N Saban) have figured out that the way to dominate on the FB field is to brutalize the opponent in the trenches. They therefore recruit linemen and linebackers from all over the country and make these positions their priority.
This approach to dominate an opponent physically also helps the Big East to dominate come Tourney time.
This approach won't work in baseball, where physical domianance is hardly viable as there is no physical contact.
It is a legitimate complaint to criticize the style of play. It lacks grace, and leadership. It's simply dominance. No wonder we saw an Alabama linebacker throw a Missouri RB down like John Cena would do for entertainment.
Therefore these two have the inside track. It works. A great QB and/or RB cannot overcome a dominant defensive line.
Likewise an average playmaker can find wide open holes and spaces with a dominant offensive line.
Sounds simple, but most recruiters go after the darling HS QBs instead of the 6'6 300 lb linemen. They don't get it.
Oregon will have a very improbable task of beating USC twice. After the Ducks, SEC gets the more value for in conference wins. Playoffs are next year. Just a 4 game system, which the SEC will dominate as well.

Ask any LSU fan what they think of Les Miles play calling. He nearly fucked up the So Car game with boneheaded offensive plays. See, he doesn't give a fuck about what he's calling (and gives that impression), because he knows he has the brutality advantage, esp in "Death Valley."
