Last night’s Oregon loss, Georgia’s outside shot

So if anyone stayed up and watched the Oregon-Arizona game last night you would see that the Ducks are a completely different team without Dennis Dixon in the lineup. It’s sad that he got injured because he is by far the best collegiate player in the nation and if he can’t go in the Ducks’ next game he may kiss his Heisman goodbye. Oregon’s loss, believes it or not, makes things very interesting for Georgia, who I think is the hottest team in the nation. I was talking to a friend last night and we discussed what needs to happen for Georgia to sneak into the national championship. Here is the ridiculous scenario:

Texas Tech beats Oklahoma this weekend

Michigan beats Ohio State this weekend

Missouri beats Kansas next weekend

Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 Championship

Cincinnati or Connecticut beats West Virginia this or next week

Vanderbilt or Kentucky beats Tennessee

Georgia beats LSU in the SEC Championship or LSU somehow plays its way out of the SEC Championship, but Georgia still wins it.

Georgia is sitting at No. 9 in the BCS. Arizona State losing would help but not necessarily. If those things play out in that fashion, Georgia would most likely play Arizona State or Kansas in the title game. Arizona State is more likely if they don’t lose because if Kansas loses the human voters will likely punish them for its easy schedule.

The probability for that to play out has to be 100,000,000 to 1 but with the way this season has played out I wouldn’t be shocked.
