The zaniest college football regular season in history ends tomorrow. As it stands now, unbelievably, Missouri would take on West Virginia in the BCS National Championship Game, and they are currently the two most deserving teams.

But getting to know this crazy year and the controversial history of the BCS (the C is optional), one somehow gets the feeling that the season will take one last drastic turn.

It only makes sense that Oklahoma would screw things up for everybody and defeat Missouri in tomorrow's Big 12 championship.

That would surely mean No. 3 Ohio State would play for the BCS title, and nobody wants to see that.

Personally, I would rate Kansas No. 3 ahead of Ohio State despite the fact that the Jayhawks failed to win their division in conference.

That precedent was set in 2001 when Nebraska lost the Big 12 North Division to Colorado, got trampled by the Buffaloes 62-36 in its last game, yet played for the BCS title.

This year Kansas and Ohio State both played feeble non-conference schedules, but the nod goes to the Jayhawks because their one loss was on a neutral field to No. 1 Missouri, while the Buckeyes lost at home to No. 15 Illinois.

Of course there is the remote possibility tomorrow that West Virginia as a 29-point home favorite could lose the Backyard Brawl outright to rival Pittsburgh.

But even then it appears that the Jayhawks would still be cooked because Georgia with two losses is ranked ahead of them. Ohio State against two-loss Georgia for the BCS title would be a nightmare.

No. 5 on my list is undefeated Hawaii, who should be ranked ahead of every two-loss team.

The Warriors finally reached No. 12 in the BCS, where in theory with a win over 4-8 Washington they would automatically be invited to one of the five major bowl$, and turn the Nevada-Louisiana Tech match into a winner-take-all battle for one of the three WAC bowl bids.
