If Georgia stays close to LSU, they could stay ahead of Michigan, and Michigan will only move up to #15 next week ahead of whoever loses the Big 10 championship.

Could happen, but very doubtful. Still, Iguess this gives us another upset to hope for: Southern Miss over Hoston or Georgia over LSU!

No, if Georgia beats LSU then they get Sugar Bowl bid.

Yes.  This means LSU miss the BCS.   OSU goes to the NCG.
However,  we should hope VT win, as VT will most likely still stay ahead of us with a lose.

Our best chance is:
  1. OSU beat OU,  Somehow got to the top two (Either GA beat LSU, or enough voters does not want to the rematch)  and goes to the NCG.
  2. Feista pick KSU due to the ties with big12.

Michigan will be picked over us if it get into the top 14.  This will help prevent that:
  1. LSU lose to GA
  2. Clemson beat VT  (so Clemson will like to jump over Michigan)

But could we really garner better ratings than OU?  Isn't that really the only thing they give a crap about?

If OU lose to Baylor & OSU, they have 3 loses and very likely be out of the top 14, should be lower than us if we win out.

That would be great!
 
 
I should clarify what I meant to say:   we will be selected by BCS if the two happens.  But does not mean we have no chances if OU does not lose two more and Stanford does not lose.

Kansas State Football / Our BCS Chances

  Assume we win out. 

There are a total of 10 BCS slots.  6 big conf champs are automatic.  BCS rule allow one guaranteed BCS spot to a non-Big Six conference champion if finishes in the top 12 or in the top 16 and its ranking is higher than that of a conference champion with an automatic berth. 
Since Big east does not have a team ranked,  there should be at least one slot for them.  So there are only 3 "at large" slots left.

1. We won't win the big 12, (even OU or OSU both has two loses, we lose the tie break).  We cannot get the automatic bid.  So we can only hope for an at large bid.

2. Current BCS rule limits two teams from a conference,   OSU will still be ranked ahead of us even if they lose the last two (very unlikely against ISU).  For us to have a chance,  we need OU to lose two more games (At Baylor and vs OSU).   

3. BCS rule says  At-large candidates must have at least nine victories and finish in the top 14 in the final BCS standings.  We are currently #13.  That rank will improve as we win the remian 2 games.  So no problem on our qualification.

4. SEC will take one and only one at large slot. regarless. ( currently  LSU, Bama, Ark and SC are all ahead of us)

5. Clemson and VT shall meet at the ACC Champ game, so the loser should drop below us.

6. Pac10 has two teams ahead.  Oregon is #4.  it will remain ahead of us even if they lose to USC.   So it helps a great deal if Stanford lose another one.


Giving the great story we have this year,  We shall be selected by a BCS if:
A.  OU loses two more games
B.  Stanford lose another game.

Kansas State Football / Re: Tulsa vs. Houston is a big game for us

Under BCS rules, only one non-Big Six team is guaranteed a spot if it meets the criteria. Any others would be at-large candidates.
So Hustone is ranked below Boise anyway. 
It is certainly nice for Tulsa to win, though.    At least there is no argument whether Huston deserve a BCS.
