Why? Wildcards win the super bowl, second place teams win the stupid basketball championships, non-first place baseball teams win the world series.......why should college football be only for the division champs?


Oh my fricking God.

BECAUSE THE REGULAR SEASON IS THE PLAYOFF.

I don't see how OSU could get almost zero bump in the Sagarin after blowing out his now #6 team in the ELO-Chess ranking.

This needs to be repeated over and over in the media until someone makes that dude reveal his cards.

its simple...the mantra of the BCS the entire time is every game counts...the season itself is the elimination process...you have a one loss team in OSU sitting there as conference champions with more wins over ranked teams and teams with winning records ( a better freaking resume ) than Bama yet Bama is being giving the nod without even PLAYING for their conference title let alone winning their own division...

They are taking a team that finished second in its own division over a team that won its conference AND a better body of work...the very thing the BCS was created to do to take the 2 best teams based on their entire season body of work and that is not what is happening this year...

Even a playoff system does not guarantee the best teams play for the championship. The BCS was based on the premise that every game counts and I am really concerned that when LSU defeats either UA or OSU the AP retards will vote the title to whoever we did not play as they did in 2003. Whoever we beat on January 9 it should translate into a consensus NC.

I've always thought it quaint that the AP folks vote their own NC.

That isn't going to matter, we win and we are the BCS National Champions. Thats the only one that is recognized.
