Assumption #1: The winner of LSU/Alabama will win the SEC Championship game.
That SEC Champion will play in New Orleans. Who will join them?
First candidate: Oklahoma State, if they win out. They've got home vs K-State, on the road at Texas Tech, Iowa State, and then home vs Oklahoma. I see them losing one.
Second candidate: Stanford, if they win out. They've got a road game against Oregon State, and then three home games against #8 Oregon, Cal and Notre Dame. Those games are tough. Conventional wisdom says they lose one of those. But if I had to guess, I think they win out.
Third candidate: Boise State. I have no doubt they go 12-0. But they need OSU and Standford to lose. And...
Fourth candidate: Oklahoma if they win out. The way the timing shakes out, if OU beats an undefeated OSU it will be the last game of their season and could be enough to vault them above the Broncos.

Really though, I'd love it the championship was an undefeated Boise State vs an undefeated SEC team.
