I'm definitely an SC fan now. They deserve to win for getting screwed like this.

Nuke the BCS. Let's go forward to a playoff or backwards to when football people made these decisions, not a bunch of nerds with a Dell.

OU should be odd-man out. They could fix all this by stating that the national title game MUST involve only conference champions (excluding independants).

Only in the sense that Algore got screwed in Florida. Do you guys have any idea how much you sound like the democrats in Florida in 2000?

Quite frankly, the system for picking the BCS has been in place for a number of years (Just like the electoral college). The procedures are quite clear (just like the Florida ballot). The results are in and someone doesn't like the results and wants to change the rules (just like in Florida).

The number one rated BCS team is playing the number two ranked BCS team for the BCS title. USC is number three and is playing the number four team. Nobody got screwed.

So independents get an advantage? How is that fair? IMHO the BCS is a lot better than the old system. USC lost to Cal, Cal pretty much sucks, as did 80+ % of USC's opponents. Oklahoma has a great team, went undefeated in the regular season. Yes they took K State lightly and got beat. I don't think it will happen again. Oklahoma will blow LSU out, Michigan will stomp USC and all this will be moot. You heard it here first. And FYI I am an Ohio State fan. Go Bucks
