In the situation that Oklahoma State lose to Oklahoma, is there any chance of a Oklahoma State v Oregon BCS Bowl game? That would be absolutely phenomenal, they are both so fantastic offensively. I would really fear for Oklahoma State if they play LSU in the championship game.
The biggest problem though is all the major conferences (bar the Big East) have contracts that state their champion must play in a specific bowl. If Oklahoma State win the Big 12 but don't go to the National Championship game then they have to play in the Fiesta Bowl whereas Oregon will play in the Rose Bowl if they win the Pac 12 (against whoever wins the Big Ten).
The only way they could possibly play each other in a BCS bowl is if Oregon doesn't win the Pac 12 but remains ranked highly enough to be invited to the Fiesta Bowl. But the possibilities of that happening are very remote. If the season were to end now three spots in a BCS bowl would be open with five teams competing for it.
