2 loss team in the Championship game?
FROM USA TODAY By Andy Gardiner
\"The string of top-10 upsets that began Thursday when unranked Oregon State toppled No. 1 Southern California reinforced the message of 2007 that forging a perfect season in one of the six Bowl Championship Series conferences is becoming next to impossible.
Only four years ago, Auburn went unbeaten but was left out of the BCS title game because Southern California and Oklahoma were also undefeated and rated higher. Last season, LSU became the first two-loss team to not only play in but win the BCS title game.
The ranks of the 2008 unbeatens were thinned last weekend as Georgia, Florida, Wisconsin, Wake Forest and TCU joined USC in the one-loss column.
Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville rated the chances of another two-loss team being in the championship mix \"very likely.\" Georgia's Mark Richt, whose then-third-ranked Bulldogs were steamrolled by 10th-ranked Alabama 41-30 Saturday night, says schedules have become minefields.
\"There's a good chance everybody will get hit before this is over,\" Richt said Sunday. \"I'd be surprised if somebody made it through unscathed.\"

I understand and agree with most of this article but there is one spot that really makes me wonder if this guy even knows what he's writing about!
\"No school faces a rugged a gantlet as the one in front of Texas. The Longhorns chase the Oklahoma game with consecutive weekends against Missouri, Oklahoma State and eighth-ranked Texas Tech.\"
Lets see...........Bama, Tenn, Vandy, LSU, Fla, Kentucky, Auburn and Tech....I think thats a little worse than Texas' little 4 game stumble!
