QUOTE (XJRunner @ Dec 8 2003, 09:25 PM) For argument's sake, the only team that has no reason NOT to be in the Sugar Bowl is LSU. All three teams have one loss. But.... Oklahoma didn't win their conference. USC had a weak schedule and didn't even have to play a conference championship game. Regardless of whether Oklahoma didn't win their conference or not still doesn't mean that they aren't better than USC. Oklahoma was ranked #1 for basically the entire season. They played a harder schedule than USC. They lost to a better team than USC.....I'd say the BCS did exactly what it set out to do, pair up the 2 best teams.....The ESPN and AP polls are what failed by not putting LSU #1 imho. Anybody want to give me a reason why they think USC is better than Oklahoma or LSU? I'd really like to hear it. XJrunner this is exactly what i've been saying....All i keep hearing is "USC is soo much better than LSU"....."USC is CLEARLY the #1 team in the country"..."USC this USC that"......"rah rah rah"....... Give me a couple reasons why USC is clearly better than LSU........ Why should LSU be penalized for losing a game a couple weeks after USC.......As far as i'm concerned LSU is the #1 team. It should'nt be a surprise that any of this happened, everybody knew that the BCS wasn't perfect, I don't care if people have problems with the BCS, all i'm saying is don't disrespect a very talented, as good as anyone in the country, LSU team, unfortunately many national sportswriters are doing that.....Saying ridiculous things like even if USC losses to Michigan and LSU wins it still a crock of ######, now if that's not BIAS i don't know what is. :angry:
