You ASSUME we wouldn't but critics said had Auburn lost both this game and the SEC Championship and we beat Ark, due to the fact that TCU/Boise doesn't play anyone, we'd be able to jump both teams to the number 2 spot, thus playing for the BCS.We will not make it to the national championship without the SEC championship.
But:
1. AL couldn't hold a 24 point lead, how much of a cushion do you need.
2. GA couldn't get it done either.
3. You DONT NEED a championship(SEC, Pac 10, etc.) to PLAY in the BCS.
Honestly, the title will always have an SEC challenger nowadays anyway. 1 spot should just be reserved for the REAL conference
