The Southeastern Conference has had a representative in the BCS championship game the last five seasons, and there isn't anything that makes me believe that it won’t happen again.

Although LSU appears to be the favorite coming out of the SEC, my feeling is that Alabama will be playing in New Orleans on Jan. 9. The Crimson Tide have the best defense in the country and one of the best running backs in Trent Richardson. Alabama's opponent isn't as cut and dried, but I think it will be Oklahoma State.

The Cowboys have shown they deserve to be the No. 3 team in the BCS standings behind LSU and Alabama. With the third-ranked offense in the country, Oklahoma State has powered its way past opponents this season, and with a remaining schedule that includes Kansas State, Texas Tech and Oklahoma, if the Cowboys can survive, they deserve to play Alabama in the BCS national championship game.
