This past weekend is perfect example as to why the new BCS formula won't work

LSUfan

Keep in mind that at least in the coaches poll last year that:
Some of the coaches NEVER saw a team like LSU play, they had their assistants vote for them.

I remember this during our run and a comment of such was made by the coach for the Cal Bears or whatever name they are.

Islstl,
Like I've said all along:
College football is a great sport but the post season just sucks.
Its like college football is still in the dark ages.
Every other sport has a playoff system of sorts, to make it worse is the
politics and the biast against the south and the SEC.

Auburn playing USuck the way they did.
LSU playing against OSU the way we did sure make the people biast look like
they know what their talking about.
Maybe we are the one's that are biast? I don't know.
Georgia sure didn't look to good on some of those earlier games either but they sure made us look just as bad as OSU and AU did.

The best we can hope for is for all of us to root with Mr. Peabody for OU and
hope they can beat the Sh!t out of Usuck or any other punk 10 team.

 

Yup, if USC and OU both win this weekend---and I were a Georgia fan---I'd start to grip.

Hard.

That would make 2 out of 3 years that Georgia had arguably the best team in the country and they did not get a chance to play for the national title.

I'll admit that 2002 wasn't that bad, since they were a 1 loss team with 2 undefeateds, but in any sort of playoff they'd have gotten their chance. Hell, they could have given Ohio St. a real battle.

All we can do is hope that all the SEC teams that Georgia beats keep winning to try and prop them up as much as possible.

USC has no business whatsoever being ranked ahead of Oklahoma at this point. OU would skull fu... well, you know what I mean.

 

Doesn't matter.

If the season ended today, the BCS doesn't count since it's only used as a tiebreaker if the AP and coach's polls disagree on who is #1 and #2.

The most "fair" thing to do if you have undefeated USC, Georgia (or Auburn, for that matter) and OU at season's end is to have Ga/AU jump OU in one poll, allowing the computers to serve their tiebreaker function.

C'mon, how can any voters truly say that an undefeated team from a major, major conference doesn't deserve a shot at the National Title? In that situation, let the computer be the tiebreaker.

 

The sad fact remains that USC could win the rest of their games by 1 point yet stay #1

 

I'm willing to bet they could lose to Cal and still remain #1.

 

I am not sold on California yet. I get the feeling that everyone "wants" California to win so much that they are hard-pressing the issue.

USC still has a HECK of a team and maybe the best player in the country in.....Reggie Bush.

I see USC making a statement and winning.
