If there were an 8-team playoff using this week’s BCS Standings:
#8 Houston (11-0) at #1 LSU (11-0)
#7 Boise State (9-1) at #2 Alabama (10-1)
#6 Stanford (10-1) at #3 Arkansas (10-1)
#5 Virginia Tech (10-1) at #4 Oklahoma State (10-1)
I would be excited to watch all four of those games, even though my team isn’t in it. More so than any NFL playoff games.
If you use the BCS rankings for the full playoff schedule you will reward the computer geeks who have cooked their results to rank an inept 4-loss Texas team ahead of likely B1G champ Wisconsin who is just 2 fluke plays away from a perfect season. The BCS rankings are not reliable as the ONLY resource for a playoff. Please see my earlier post for 2 different realistic playoff scenarios.
