Will any of this year's BCS games feature two undefeated teams?

Settled as No

The only two undefeated teams are Utah and Boise State. They do not play each other.
http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/schedules/bowls

Background:

Right now there are only 4 teams with undefeated records in the AP Top 25...
#1 Alabama 11-0
# 8 Utah 12-0
#9 Boise State 11-0
#15 Ball State 11-0

Alabama will definitely be in a BCS game, very likely the championship game, but will there be a meeting of any two of the other three in one of the BCS games?

Utah's schedule is completed, but Boise State has to play Fresno State, Ball State has Western Michigan, and of course Alabama has their major rival up for this weekend, Auburn. And Alabama also has to win the SEC Championship game.

So really, the question most likely is, will one of the teams other than Alabama play each other in a BCS bowl game?

Question will suspend on December 7, unless bowl matchup announcements are made earlier.


Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source.

I'm not sure it's "very likely" that Alabama will be in the title game. I don't think they will be favored against Florida in the SEC championship game.

There are five BSC Bowl games, the Rose Bowl, Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, and the BCS Championship Game, which this year will be played in Miami on January 8th.

Probably the best scenario would be for Alabama to remain undefeated, and also have one of the other three do so, then have the other top contenders lose their last game, tarnishing their record.

But if that happens, I doubt you'd see one of them against Alabama in the Championship Game...come on get real, not even Dave Letterman would dream of seeing Ball State vs, 'Bama in that game!
