TT should have received a BCS bid instead of Ohio State.. All about the money and fan base I suspect.

Terrible selection process again

They did get ripped off, but it's only because more than 2 teams from the same conference can't make BCS games. It has nothing to do with Ohio State.

Edited to add: more than 2

Huh??

There are 2 teams from BIG 10(OSU and PSU) as well as 2 from the SEC(UF and Bama) playing in BCS games.

Again only 2 teams from any BCS conference allowed and they were the lowest ranked in final BCS poll

I can hear the Horns fans now.

"The only team that beat us just destroyed the only team that beat Florida. Therefore, we should be in the BCS championship game, not Florida."

Are you people this fricking dumb?

OU
UT

Two Big XII teams. Both in BCS games. No other Big XII team can get into a BCS game.

actually from what I've read that's not entirely true...

If one conference somehow gets two teams into the BCSCG then a third team from that conference can be chosen in a non-championship BCS game that is affiliated with that conference.

The stipulation is that two non-champions from the same conference must be ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS poll. This is basically totally impossible.

It's a lot more likely in the PAC-10 or Big 10 than any conference with a championship game.

Say USC, Oregon, and Oregon State all finish next season at 8-1 in conference, and in a three-way tie for the PAC-10. But Oregon State has an OOC loss. They all beat each other, but the tiebreaker the PAC-10 uses, which isn't based on the BCS gives the Rose Bowl bid (and auto-qualifier) to the third best team, which would be Oregon State. If enough other losses happen, USC and Oregon could be 1 & 2 in the BCS and the PAC-10 could get three teams in.
