In 2004...
AU played 4 teams ranked in the final BCS top 25, those teams with an average ranking of 10.25.
USC played 3 teams ranked in the final BCS top 25, those teams with an average ranking of 10.7.
OU played 4 teams ranked in the final BCS top 25, those teams with an average ranking of 17.5.
No matter how you slice it, the one team that should not have been left out of the NCG that year was Auburn, playing as many or more ranked teams and playing higher ranked teams. All season long, ESPN kept repeating the mantra of "the game America wants to see" when talking about USC vs OU...how "wonderful" was that? Auburn should have been in it, and had as good a chance as any to win it. In hindsight, definitely better than OU's chance that year.

If the BCS is perfectly correct with this data, why can't you accept the overall BCS as perfectly correct?
