Gimme a break. Oklahoma didn't even win its conference and made it to the BCS championship.

Even honest Oklahoma fans felt a little guilty about being there, and more so after they were thumped.

And USC put an end to any controversy with showing Oklahoma the door in last year's Orange Bowl.

It should have been USC against LSU in the BCS championship two years ago. Just about everyone admits that.

I don't know how it would have turned out, but those that think the BCS has figured it all out and it's the only title that matters need to explain why the BCS keeps changing the formulas each year. THEY obviously don't think they've got it all figured out.

Is the BCS perfect? No. Does it need to eliminate the automatic bids that put 8-4 teams like Florida State into a BCS bowl? Yes. Do I want media folks determining the national champion? No.

A few tweaks and the BCS would be fair and elimate the backroom politics that goes on in the AP.

Remember, this is the same press that used to award the Heisman to NE schools year after year. The history of the AP is full of stories that are as bad as the BCS.
