SEC West Trio Now Control the BCS Standings

I was out of town (in St. Louis with some friends) all weekend. As a result, the only college football I watched was the end of Missouri's win and the 1st quarter of LSU's dismantling of Ole Miss. I came to find out I missed the craziest weekend of the season.

It was a weekend that featured 3 of the BCS Top 5 teams losing. Oklahoma State's undefeated season was ended in double overtime by Iowa State. Oregon's comeback against USC came up short. Robert Griffin III lead Baylor to an impressive and gutsy win over Oklahoma.

When the latest BCS polls were revealed yesterday, everyone's thoughts were confirmed. For the first time ever, the Top 3 teams in the BCS Standings all were from the same conference. Not only are they from the same conference, they are from the same division, the SEC West. #1 LSU is still undefeated, but have to play #3 Arkansas this Friday afternoon. The Razorbacks' only loss is to Alabama. The Crimson Tide's only loss is to LSU.

If Arkansas beats LSU, all three of these teams would have one loss, but they are all to each other. Who is going to get to play Georgia in the SEC Championship? What happens if Georgia wins? The problem is only two teams can play in the BCS Championship Game. Who is it going to be? There is still a lot of football to be played to determine that.
