    You're the one who said deepest and toughest. Not me.

    Arkansas is easily the worst 10-2 team from a power conference in a long time — maybe ever.
    They've only beaten three bowl eligible teams, as of Friday night. And three more teams — Vandy, UT and State — still have shot with one game remaining.
    But even if they all won, they still would have only beaten two teams — South Carolina, Auburn — with winning records.

    This year's Michigan team might challenge Arkansas for that honor with a win on Saturday.

    No doubt. If LSU wins out they'll have the highest "undisputable" factor of any champion in quite a few years.

    Which is why I hope it doesn't happen. Hate it when things go precisely the way the BCS folks hope. Confusion, chaos, controversy--that's what I'm cheering for.

    When Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State all win tomorrow, as they should, and South Carolina beats Clemson and Arkansas goes to whatever bowl game it winds up in and wins that...

    None of those things are stretches. Arkansas is a two-loss team that beat a top-15 team and the defending national champion and only lost to the two best teams in the country. You're telling me the Big East and ACC haven't had two-loss teams in recent years?

    Miami never got the second shot at Notre Dame in 1988 after losing in South Bend. LSU should get the same courtesy.

    Speaking of which, when I looked up the final AP poll for 1988, I was very surprised to see that Miami got 1.5 first place votes. Who didn't vote for ND that year? Will that same person vote for Alabama this year if LSU and Alabama both win out?

    How can Alabama and LSU both win out?

    Daniels said today that LSU should win the AP title if they lose the rematch. Could not agree more.

    Should have said if they don't rematch and they both win out.
