re: Two schools of thought this year with the BCS

The goal of the BS is to match the two best tams up at the end of the year

this is the one disappointment with this whole situation...this is not the goal. The intent of the BCS is to match up the 2 top-ranked teams at the end of the year. Had Ok State beaten Iowa State by 1 point they would be in the game vs. LSU because they "earned" the #2 ranking by going undefeated and winning their conference. I don't think anyone would think at that point that OSU was better than Bama. All this subjective stuff about LSU-Bama would be a better game, or difference in point spreads, or whether Bama would beat OSU in a hypothetical semi-final game should be meaningless.

As members of the SEC, we want voters to give a little extra credit to a conference winner. If this were Oklahoma and Texas in a rematch game, with the SEC winner having 1 loss to Miss State, for example, we'd be going ape-shite right now.
