NEW YORK (AP) -- LSU is in position to play for a national championship. Oregon isn't far behind the Tigers and unbeaten Kansas is looming.
Taking advantage of Boston College's first loss of the season, the Tigers moved into second place in the Bowl Championship Series standings released Sunday.
Undefeated Ohio State (10-0) is still in first, and could lock up a second straight appearance in the BCS national championship game on Jan. 7 with victories against Illinois and Michigan in its last two games.
LSU (8-1) has at least three games left and probably four with the Southeastern Conference title game on Dec. 1. Winning out could get the Tigers a spot in the title game at the Superdome in New Orleans.
That's no lock.

Hard to say who's most deserving of #2 - I voted for LSU in the forum poll, but Oregon (with Dennis Dixon) is pretty damn impressive, and heck, the Jayhawks just hung 76 on Nebraska. Should be a good race to the finish for those three clubs.

Yep, I had LSU #2. And I'm the one who's supposed to have the ant-SEC bias. Go figure.

Here's what it boils down to. LSU is right now 5-1 against RANKED teams. Not just any old teams, RANKED! Will play at least one more in the SEC title game, cosidering they beat Ole Miss, and possibly two if Arkansas keeps winning. If they finish 12-1 with that kind of schedule and miss out on the BCS championship its ridiculous!!! Reminder that Oregon does not have to play a conference championship. Wait a minute, neither does Ohio State. Hmm? I'm not saying these aren't good teams. Just making a statement.
