Although the theory is far from historically accurate, it would be nice to assume that if there are only 2 remaining undefeated teams in the FBS this year, they will face off in the BCS National Championship. Because the NCAA can't seem to get their act together and instill a much needed BCS playoff format, there have been multiple seasons that undefeated teams have been left out of consideration for the National Championship thanks to the wonderful computer rankings. As a result, there have been countless controversial weeks, seasons, and Bowl match-ups. But heading into week 7 of the season, 10 unbeatens remain, with two assuredly to be eliminated as LSU and Auburn square off, and Missouri-Oklahoma will also eliminate one or the other. In the end, there will probably be a National Championship of two "undeserving" teams with a loss on their record, such as Ohio State, Alabama, or Nebraska. But in the meantime, one can only hope that the much deserving Boise State finds a way to finagle a spot in the National Championship. The graphic shows the schedules of the remaining undefeateds, as well as how they have fared thus far. Speculate away.
