And the College Football season begins!!!

It'll be interesting to see the BCS poll Monday if these games stay like this.

If texas and UCLA loses USC number 1, VT number 2, Alabama 3

 

[Dungannon]

Well, so much for that. UCLA scores 21 unanswered points in the 4th quarter, then wins it in OT 30-27. And Texas has come back to make that game close at 28-26.

And UCLA wins in overtime. Again.

texas also with the come back, looks like the BCS will have to its job again this year

What's that? Putting an undeserving Big 12 team in the title game?

Why do you think Texas is undeserving?

They only have the most impressive win of the season.....

But the BCS was set up to determine who of the teams is deserving. Of course there are always going to be cases made for other teams. If it was an obvious choice there would be no need for the BCS.

You're right, that win over Oklahoma was very impressive.

Their only quality opponent was an Ohio State team that's going to end the year somewhere between #10 and #15 even if they win out. I just can't see how they merit being selected ahead of an undefeated Virginia Tech, Alabama, or UCLA (it's clear they won't be selected ahead of an undefeated USC). I think that many of the one-loss teams could beat them (heck, I suspect Ohio State would win a rematch).

The Big 12 has a terrible record in the BCS title game (1-3), and all three losers (Nebraska in 2001, Oklahoma in 2003, and Oklahoma in 2004) were contraversial selections (it should have been Oregon in 2001, USC in 2003, and Auburn in 2004).
