There is a huge media bias towards USC, and I had no doubt that everyone would jump on the "USC deserves the championship, so the Rose Bowl will be the real Championship game" bandwagon. But I have little doubt that Michigan will quickly wreck that media party, thus making the Sugar bowl champion the real undisputed champion. Please read on, and be one of the informed. "With all due respect to #3 USC, the teams most deserving of invitations to the Sugar Bowl are #1 Oklahoma and #2 LSU All 3 teams have 1 loss, and USC simply has not beaten anywhere near the caliber of teams that Oklahoma and LSU have beaten: Based on teams' current rankings, Oklahoma and LSU have each played 2 games vs. better teams than USC's toughest opponent, and they have each played 5 games vs. better teams than USC's 2nd-toughest opponent USC has not played a current top-15 team, and the Trojans are only 2-1 vs. the current top-40, despite playing #38 and #40 The best team USC has beaten is #18 Washington St., while Oklahoma has beaten #5 Texas, and LSU has beaten #12 Georgia twice The 2nd-best team USC has played is #38 Cal, which beat the Trojans! Oklahoma and LSU have each lost only to a current top-25 team (#16 Kansas St. and #24 Florida, respectively), and they have combined for 9 wins over teams currently ranked higher than Cal As the following list shows, USC has posted only 2 of the 10 best wins by these 3 teams (based on teams' current rankings): 1. Oklahoma over #5 Texas, 2. (tie) LSU over #12 Georgia (regular season), 2. (tie) LSU over #12 Georgia (SEC championship game), 4. USC over #18 Washington St., 5. Oklahoma over #19 Oklahoma St., 6. LSU over #20 Arkansas, 7. LSU over #23 Mississippi, 8. Oklahoma over #31 Texas Tech, 9. Oklahoma over #32 Missouri, 10. (tie) USC over #40 Auburn, 10. (tie) LSU over #40 Auburn In sum, the Trojans' top wins are over much worse teams than the Sooners and Tigers have beaten, and the Trojans' loss is to a much worse team too: Oklahoma and LSU deserve to play in the Sugar Bowl." -from Andersonsports.com The biased and vastly ignorant media fail to realize the facts and always tend to follow the west coast biased media. This is part of the reason the BCS was created....to account for Human error. In reality, there are 9 polls. 2 human polls, which always tend to be biased. And 7 computer polls, which are impartial and take the entire season into account. The system has worked. USC is 1st in 3 of the 9 polls. Oklahoma and LSU also are 1st in 3 of them. So, the next factor was strength of schedule... which is where USC drops to 3rd, and rightfully so. The 2 best teams are playing in the championship.
