Are you kidding me? (College Football/Insider).(Bowl Championship Series)(Brief Article)

In a perfect world, Tennessee beats LSU in the SEC championship game, the Rose Bowl gets No. 1 Miami and No. 2 Tennessee, and poof! The BCS--ahem--works again. Here's what the BCS honchos are sweating: LSU beats Tennessee, and Nebraska slides into the Rose Bowl ahead of one-loss-teams Oregon, Illinois and Maryland and ahead of Colorado, which manhandled the Huskers 62-36 two weeks ago.
Then, of course, we'll have BCS anarchy. Or, as college football czar Roy Kramer likes to call it, "a spirited conversation about the greatest sport in America."
