I remember hearing one of ESPN’s BCS gurus say he ran the numbers and if Boise State beats Hawaii, the loss will weaken USC’s SOS just enough for LSU to jump them to number two in the final BCS rankings.

Should've been irrelevant. It should've been LSU and USC playing for it all.

Ridiculous that a team that got crushed 35-7 in their conference championship game got to play for the NC. That season was the beginning of the end for the short-lived BCS.
