I really don't support a playoff system in college football but...

Why isn't Alabama playing Texas?

Why isn't Ohio State playing Virginia Tech?

Why isn't Utah playing Cincinnati?

In short, bowl tie-ins for conference champs and selection order.

Bama/TX- not playing because Bama doesnt want another loss. At least with Utah if they lose it wont be by as much.

OSU-VT- OSU doesnt want to take a chance either

UTAH/Cincy- Cincy would beat Utah.

If there were NO rules to however many teams could be in the BCS and certain conferences didn't have a lock-in to the BCS:

Rose - USC vs. Penn State
Fiesta - Texas Tech vs. Boise State
Sugar - Texas vs. Alabama
Orange - Georgia Tech vs. Ole Miss
BCS - Florida vs. Oklahoma

In my opinion, those were the 10 best teams in college football this year. Oregon State lost the last week of the season, so I cannot put them in, as I wanted to. Even though GT did not win their conference, they're clearly the most dominant, fun to watch team in their conference. Utah...sorry...Boise State is a better draw and a better team.
