Random thoughts after the jump.

I hated doing it, but the three loss teams in Blacksburg and Norman would crush Central Michigan, South Carolina or Wisconsin – so they get the nod.

Southern Cal and Oklahoma State drop precipitously on the heels of bad shows against conference foes. Let this Cowboy representative remind all that they have losses to two ranked teams, and the Longhorns may be the best in the nation.

I cannot believe that Iowa continues to live on the bleeding edge – I wonder aloud what may happen if Iowa plays Florida since God doesn’t want either to lose. The only way they could play is the Citrus or the Outback Bowl, but divine intervention would focus elsewhere if that matchup were to exist.

Where would Boise rate if Oregon were to lose?

Proof that life means you cannot take a week off – Pitt loss to NC State and Houston lost to UTEP. Pitt is one of the few complete teams in all three phases, but the Panthers may spend all of December wondering what may have been if they could close out the Wolfpack. Likewise, imagine a triumverate of BCS-busters if the visit to El Paso had “gone chalk”?

What is your vote?
