How a team that played one of the weakest non-conference schedules in the country ends up winning the title. It's called politics folks. The minute Ohio State won 59-0 over Wisconsin that's all it took for the committee to jump over a team that played a tougher schedule than Ohio State. It's calling making money and ratings. Let's see how many pansies Oscar Meyer schedules next year now that he knows the committee could care less who he plays as long as they lose maybe one game and end up winning the conference title.

Holy crap FRiend, you need to get over it.

The season is over.

I was an Oregon rooter but they lost to a superior OSU team.

Sheesh, at least you didn't post this in Breaking News.

O-H

Dude?! SRSLY?!

The war's over man. THE Ohio State University dropped the BIG ONE on Oregon (after dismantling Alabama)

Ohio State

Slowly I turned. Step by step...

I accept that TCU had a good argument to be there instead of OSU. However, OSU slaughtered M St., beat no. 1 Alabama, and shredded no. 2 Oregon. Don’t think even TCU could have done that!

[Pox]

If I'm not mistaken, the TCU and Baylor “strength of schedule” ratings, or whatever it is called, were lower than that of OSU, and if that is true, then there is really a very weak argument being presented in this post, IMO.

I have a biased opinion as I am a lifelong Buckeye fan as I was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio, so my opinion may not be useful, but I am of the opinion that TCU would have met the same fate as Oregon when faced with a Championship match up versus OSU. TCU did not have a defense that could have stopped the Buckeyes, same as Oregon.

Just an opinion.

Trying to change the past is a sign of mental illness. You got issues boy, you need to talk to someone.

The reason they started playing football games to pick the champion instead of having bathing suit beauty pageants, is to have an undisputed champion. It’s Ohio State this year. Get over it....

BCS Lite: more disputes/less filling.
Maybe someday we’ll have real playoffs, like every other sport.
Until then, college football remains, “Just my opinion....”

[JGT]

Ohio St. was playing on an entirely different level its last three games. They are the best team by far and would have destroyed TCU or anyone else they may have played.

[Craftmore]

Damn,If Ohio State sucks that badly,just imagine how badly that makes Oregon.Maybe Oregon should go back to playing peewee football.

Here's the problem with the national championship. When you "selected" the champion, you had the #2 team crying about it. When you had a BCS championship that pitted #1 against #2, you had the #3 team crying about it.

With a four team playoff, now you have the #5 team crying about it. If you consider expanding to eight, you're going to piss off the #9 team.

And so it goes, ad infinitum.

The NCAA did a GREAT job this year with their selections. Those were three of the best bowl games I've ever seen.

[RayChuang88]

The big reason why TCU or Baylor didn't get in was the Big 12's mantra of One True Champion proved to be a lie when TCU and Baylor were declared co-champions. That probably irked the selection committee to no end....

OSU dominated Wisconsin, and their Heisman finalist, in the Big 10(14) Championship despite being underdogs.

They then beat #1 Alabama, and their Heisman finalist, in the heart of SEC territory, again as underdogs.

Finally, they beat #2 Oregon, and their Heisman winner, by three TDs despite committing four turnovers in an overall dominant performance.

I’d say they frickin’ EARNED this one.

My solution...

Four 16 team super-conferences of two divisions each = 64 teams. Win your division and play for conference championship. Four conference champions play for national title.

OK, what about #s 65 through 68? Every year the worst team in each conference is relegated out of the conference, and the previous #65-68 join their new conference. You could base relegation on a rolling three or four year average if you like.. Try to keep geography relevant to conference assignment if possible, but no guarantees.

If you’re #69, tough!
