BCS National Championship Game Tickets – Top Three Contenders By Brent Warnken At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

1. Alabama

The Bright Side: Alabama enters the eleventh week of the season as pretty much the consensus No. 1 team in the nation, with a top ranking in the AP Poll, the Coaches Poll, and the only one that matters, the BCS Poll. So they can, potentially, control their own destiny from here on out. Lose and they miss out on a chance at going to the BCS title game. Win out, and they will have a shot. On the plus side for Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide is that they pretty much had a bye week in Week ten when they shut out Arkansas State. Who made that scheduling move? While playing an easy team is a good way to get a win when they need it most, Alabama might be a paper tiger waiting for a clenching fist. Which brings us to their upcoming schedule.

Potential Disappointment: In order to win out the rest of the way, Alabama will have to win on the road against LSU, and then at home versus Mississippi State and Auburn. Given the way the top teams have faltered this season, it seems to follow that their next game against Louisiana State will be the toughest task ahead of the Tide. At 6-2 LSU is ranked No. 15 in the nation. And don’t forget that the defending national champs are coming off a cake walk game of their own after beating Tulane last week. According to the Vegas odds accumulated by http://VegasInsider.com, ‘Bama is only a 3.5 point favorite, so they’re not exactly a lock to win their next game. You know what is a good lock though?

2. Penn State

The Bright Side: Penn State is ranked third in the AP and BCS polls, but I put them in the No. 2 spot on my list of contenders because they probably have the easiest road to the tile game, and getting there is the most important part. With three regular season games left to play, Penn State is looking at Iowa on the road, Indiana at home and Michigan State at home. Iowa and Indiana are a combined 8-10 right now, leaving the Michigan State game as Penn State’s sole test. But because it might be Joe-Pa’s last regular season home game, the advantage is clearly with the Nittany Lions. Current odds are 5/2 to win it all. You should have gotten in on Penn State when they were 50/1 to open up the season.

Potential Disappointment: Michigan State could be their undoing, especially if by the time the game is played the Spartans are convinced they could get to one of the big bowls with a win. Plus the Nittany Lions beat Ohio State 13-6 last game. Under two touchdowns on offense does not a lot of confidence make.

3. Texas Tech

The Bright Side: They’re the hottest team in the nation after their thrilling, last-second win over in-state, in-conference rival and then-No. 1 Texas Longhorns on the big stage last Saturday night. In addition to having the No. 2 offense in the nation, they can also play defense when they need to. Can the Red raiders ride their wave of hype all the way to the BCS title game? Will you be able to purchase BCS National Championship Game tickets to see the Red Raiders in Dolphin Stadium?

Potential Disappointment: Despite their win over Texas, the Red Raiders are still currently fielding 10/1 odds in Vegas that they’ll win it all. That’s worse than the Longhorns, who are currently at 4/1. Why is that? The road ahead is the hardest of these three teams, by far. They face Oklahoma State at home, Oklahoma on the road and then Baylor at home to wrap things up. The two OK teams are indeed okay. Their combined record is 16-2.
