This has a lesser chance of happening than reality barging into your Jessica Alba fantasy.

The experts believe you have better odds on achieving that lottery triumph.

No, this is an even greater longshot than Texas rallying to defeat USC in the Rose Bowl.

But if it happened, college football would be shaken, not stirred.

The premise, of course, involves the Bowl Championship Series, a crusty institution that could use a little sabotage. Sure, we chew on this issue at least once every year.

For the record (again), I believe the lack of a playoff system in college football is an even greater sports omission than the Dickie V. chip for your television. It also should be noted that I'm choosing to exhale.

Yeah, the multiple-unbeaten tack is nice, but we can muster greater trouble if more than a dozen teams finish with one pimple. The responsibilities of the power leagues are as follows:

Southeastern Conference

The leader is unbeaten Florida, which enters this week as the nation's second-ranked team in several silly polls. The Gators can assist our movement by finishing with a perfect regular season. Their required comeuppance should occur in an SEC title game with, oh, Auburn or Arkansas ... it really doesn't matter.

Florida could be vulnerable if its quarterbacks
