it will be interesting to see what happens to the bcs if michigan wins. a Michigan win means OSU won't be top 3 or 4 i'm pretty sure. question is, will USC be #2 or will it be LSU?  If LSU wins against #15 Missippi and with their Win vs #5 UGA, they will pretty much have the SOS sewn up among the 1 loss teams. TCU has NO CHANCE obviously.
I think LSU might actually be better than USC, but i really think the top 5 to 6 teams this year minus Oklahoma are pretty evenly matched. For example if LSU had played UGA IN athens, UGA probably would have won and would currently be ranked 3rd instead of LSU.
		
		
	 
while that is probably right
the difference between LSU and USC and OSU at this point atleast is far too much for LSU to be able to catch them up unless both USC and OSU loose
		
 
		
	 
if osu loses (which was the premise of my post) then LSU automatically jumps past OSU, unless LSU also loses. so let me restate it so it is more clear.
IF LSU beats #15 Missippi and OSU Loses, the only question left would be WILL LSU jump past USC or not. 
i'm not sure that they won't as SOS is so important and a win over a #15 team HAS to increase the SOS ranking, no?
		
 
		
	 
Don't forget that LSU is already #3 in both human polls, so OSU losing doesn't help them there.  
Also, even after the SEC chamionship game, USC will more than likely have a better strength of schedule than LSU.   
And it is assuming a lot to think that LSU is going to beat Ole Miss on the road, Arkansas AND the SEC championship game.
