Could the Titans win the BCS National Title?

What? It's a legit question. And I'm a Titans fan. But take a serious look at it. They can't complete in the NFL right now so one can only speculate on how things would play out if they were playing against a more equal opponent.
There a five standout BCS title contenders so let's match the Titans up with each one and pick a winner.

1. Alabama - The Titans lose this game without question. Better offense, better defense, more talent and Nick Saban would coach circles around Mike Munchak. The Titans should petition the league to allow them to draft TJ Yeldon now.

2. Oregon - The Titans are on pace to give up more points than any team in NFL history so mark this one down in the loss column for Tennessee. They have given up 30 or more in every game this year. The Ducks would put up 30 by half time and have a new uniform to do it in.

3. South Carolina - Jadeveon Clowney will be the first pick in next years draft but if this game took place today NFL owners would petition that he never be eligible. He would wreak havoc on Hasslebeck and the Titans O-Line would make him look like Lawrence Taylor on some Lance Armstrong "supplements". So I give it to the Cocks in a close one.

4. Florida - The Gators are young and might make just enough mistakes that the Titans could squeak by. It wouldn't be a barn burner but Hasselbeck would probably throw for a score and CJ would break the 50 yard mark.

5. West Virginia - This would be CJ's coming out party. The Mountaineers defense is slightly worse than the Titans so they should put up 50 points. Problem is, West Virginia's offense is a million times better than the Titans defense. The Mountaineers would put up 60. And 60 beats 50.

So if you kept score, not only would the Titans not win the BCS title, they wouldn't even play in Atlanta for the SEC Championship game.

At least they would get a bowl invite.
