Ain't gonna' be no Rematch???

Is this the year that a one loss SEC team is given a chance to test the mythical( though very real) claim of ' a 1 loss SEC team is better than an undefeated team from any conference"?
Even after the loss, Alabama stands the chance of still being #2 in the BCS rankings. I for one feel that this is the rightful ranking. I don't think Boise State, Oklahoma State,Stanford, Oregon, or even a 1 loss Oklahoma can beat Alabama. I think they have less chance for beating LSU. So, how do you keep the BCS title game from being a SEC rematch?
If you are smart, you don't.
The BCS rankings will be released on Sunday Evening.

UPDATE: 10:09 pm
Alabama has slipped to number 2 in the BCS poll. However, it does appear as if a rematch is set up to happen for the national title game. Oklahoma State is now at #2, and I just don't see this Cowboys team beating Oklahoma, which in their current ranking, I don't forsee them leap-frogging to the one of the top 2 spots.
Basically, Alabama and LSU are about 95% assured to win out the rest of their games, and OSU is in real danger of dropping the game against the Sooners, and if they do manage to beat them, I am afraid that just winning the game won't be enough to keep them at #2.
That being said, LSU will probably get beat by Arkansas, Alabama will win out and end up playing Oregon, who at 1 loss will beat unbeaten Stanford. Which means that Oklahoma beating OSU will eliminate them both and Boise State will finish undefeated and not in the game.
