Time for another round of “College Football What If”

What if Alabama beats LSU this Saturday night?

And what if, in the following weeks, Oregon defeats Stanford and Oklahoma knocks off Oklahoma State?

And, finally, in the only one of these hypotheticals that would really be considered a surprise, what if Auburn ends its regular season by shocking Alabama for the second year in a row or South Carolina upends the Tribe in the SEC championship game?

If those outcomes come to pass, which two teams do you put in a National Championship game?

If these games do turn out as I have described above — and that’s certainly not beyond the realm of possibility — then college football would have experienced what many have advocated for many years: an actual playoff. And if these misguided idiots who have been clamoring for a playoff have the courage of their convictions, they would have to accept the reality that only one National Championship matchup passes the credibility test.

And that would be Boise State vs. Houston.

And you know what? That could easily be the most entertaining, the most exciting, BCS Championship game since Texas/USC.
